When do BA systems realise 355 days?
Basically, Seatspy are showing available seats for 6 March 2024 but when I try to book them the system says I can't book anything over 355 days in advance?
TIA

None of that will help you though.
The seats are released and bookable only at 355 days - both online and calling in, regardless of what Seatspy says/shows.

Someone may correct me, but although this is technically a "minimum" - and it is possible BA might release more than that - my understanding is that they typically don't release more until later on in the game and that this is what generally gets released at 355.
