Are you on a Plus fare, simple single or return ticket, booked via BA.com?

If booked into G then I doubt this would be a Plus ticket and thus not eligible for the 48 hour seat selection. Had you booked into a more expensive fare bucket then you would have had it.

Although in the situation in my OP, the return leg was in G, and they got free seat selection at T-48 for that leg too. I wonder what dictates whether Holidays end up as Plus or Basic then...

Son #2 had free seat selection 48 hours before his flight tomorrow and is no coloured tags at all. Eco + bags.

Evidently good things do come to those that wait. No option to checkin so duly presented ourselves at checkin desks 2.5 hrs before flight. Handed boarding passes and all 4 of us were upgraded from WTP to Club! Just what was needed for a 10.5hr flight. BA can be ace sometimes
