Because I wanted to grab a window seat in CW where I didn't have to clamber over a stranger's legs, I paid for specific seats on booking.
With just over a month till we fly we have now had 3 changes of plane config without any notification of seat change from BA. The first time I noticed the change, several months ago, was completely by accident when I went to the Seat Plan. I discovered I had been moved into a middle seat next to the bassinet. Fortunately there was one window/ aisle pair of seats still available for us to move into. With another change of plane an extra row suddenly appeared at the back of the cabin , so I have now grabbed that. But for how long ? ! So now I regularly check and play the BA game of "Guess where you are sitting now ?"
So I recommend anyone who has paid for a seat to keep checking your booking !
