No seats shown to pick from?
 

Hello all,

Booked a reward flight earlier this afternoon in CE. Am Silver so went to pick seats for both of us on the booking and got presented with a seat map showing CE as rows 1-7 but with all seats X out as in taken/not available other than 2F. It has also not allocated a seat by default to either of us. I have never seen this before and always managed to simply select a seat.

Is this simply a case of the divider needing to be moved back or is something amiss? Flight is not for a couple of weeks but it did amuse us that BA would like to offer us one seat between us - I mean I am happy to help out in the galley if needs must, so long as I get a cockpit jump seat for landing.

For context is an LGW BA A320 route and at time of booking 8 reward seats were available to book.

Thanks in advance - K

Maged to add a pic via my mobile. Pictures are clearer than words as they say.

What you need is a seat map showing which seats are occupied and which seats are blocked, as ExpertFlyer will provide.

Also, if you do a search, you will find a lot of recent threads asking the exact same question and discussing the situation which I'd encourage you to look at for more details, as it is a fairly common situation, especially when flights are busy such as now. The bottom line is: "don't worry, you'll have a seat on the day in the overwhelming majority of cases and some might open earlier".

Thanks all - I did have in mind that this had come up recently orbitmic , but did not turn it up in a quick search unfortunately. Also a first for me despite a fair few recent CE sectors.

V kind Genius1 - BA2843 on 15 July (CTA-LGW).

Plenty of seats unreserved

Thanks mikeyfly In that case as Silver I should be able to select them (assuming solid is available? Though note, BA show 2F only as open to us to pick at present). First world issue I know - will have a look at the other threads to inform myself as to what is causing this at moment.

My CTA to LGW in CE on 20th July was cancelled this afternoon .

Blue solid is occupied. Blue with a white cross is blocked (waiting to see if they need that row for Economy is most likely). You can't select row 1 as a Silver. They will become available to you at T-24hrs once online check in opens.

Thanks - that makes perfect sense and what I thought may be going on. Thanks again everyone. simonsmith hope you get a decent rebook option given the potential for LHR issues.
