BA279 LHR to SJC 22/06
Looking at the seat map on BA.com there is only 6 seats left in Club World, with only a couple of ‘pairs’ available depending.
I guess this flight is usually status heavy due to Silicon Valley etc. so my question is, are we taking a ‘risk’ if we don’t pay for seats now and more status members book between now an OLCI?

Thanks for the replies, this is the first time I’ve not paid for a seat in Club which means I’m £180 better off but now they are all showing full.
First is still relativity empty with just 1 booked seat (although I don’t know how to check loads) so I guess the roll forward may impact some. Is the advice to get to the airport early to resolve this?
Assuming that the any blocked seats don’t open up at OLCI.

You'll almost 100% get a seat in the cabin you're ticketed in. I'd not worry, it'll all be an anti-climax, you'll arrive at check-in and be handed a BP with a seat without so much as a comment or acknowledgement that you didn't have one assigned previously (most likely)
