V-Flyer

OK, I must have missed this since I last flew BA back in August but when did BA start charging for seat requests?

First post on the subject over on FT was on the 24 September 2009.

thread here

As you can imagine it is a very long thread.....

Thanks RedVee.

When I go to the Czech Republic for work, I can change my seat to 22F on a A321 as there is no 21F in front of it (but there is a 21D and E) and I done this for free.

From reading FT, it must because my work travel agent must have some sort of corporate deal with BA.

It was just a surprise to get an email from BA saying we can choose our seats for our flight to Jersey in April but then going online to find we'll get charged for it.

Yep, if you have a corporate contract code in the booking you can select seats free of charge - Ed

We've got our seats allocated (free) for our LH flight in April under their disability assistance policy. But the kicker is - if we want to change them before checkin we'll get charged the full whack.
