Reward Seats Release Time
 

On the look out for F reward seats on some flights we have already booked in J.

If they become available what time of day would they appear on the BA site?

Some F seats are released at t-355, and we have recently (by chance) booked 2 outbound. Inbound is currently J only and the agent seems to think that F reward availability is rare on the return route. Judging by the stats on rewardflightfinder, most seats seem to become available overnight, so unless you want to be up every night at 1am, you might want to subscribe and set up an alert. Maybe also on expertflyer. Both will send you alerts when seats become available.

I am aware of when seats are originally offered and as I have already flights booked in J the 355 day rule does not apply. I am also aware there is no guarantee of seats becoming available.

What I am asking is If by chance F seats do become available will they appear at midnight, Midday or some other specified time? Or is it a random time?

Random.

Although the post above says random, I was led to believe that it is generally 00:00 UTC and have seen this on a couple of occasions. YMMV.

Note that there are already a lot of threads on when (notably what time of the day) award seats are released - with a search you'll get a lot of detailed experiences about what times people got theirs, what are the exceptions, and also when in terms of early on, nearer the date etc.
