UC 'G' Seats - moved from BMI to BA

Hi,
I am a bit worried about my UC flights for July.
I booked two G fares using BMI Desitnation points.
Now that BMI has been taken over by BA, flights booked through BMI are now on the BA site under "Manage My Bookings". I decided to check this using the BMI reference.
My booking on ba.com is there OK, but it says Economy! I rechecked on the BMI site and it still says "G".
I have logged on to the VS site and all seems fine and my seats are as requested.
Should I worry? What should I do - e.g. should I contact BA?
Thanks

I would go with what it says on the VS site as that is who you are flying with, so as long as it shows UC and that is what your eticket shows you shouldn't have any problem.

Thanks Neil,
By "eTicket" do you mean the booking confirmation?

It'll probably be because BA's site can't understand that "G" (which all the back end system has on file) means a business class ticket...

Yes, the thing you get sent electronically once you have made your booking, certainly on VS they are called etickets as it replaced the old paper style tickets off of the the 80's and 90's.

If you can look up your flight on BA you might to be able to look at the detail behind it in Checkmytrip [dotcom].

You can't look up Virgin PNRs on Checkmytrip as they don't use Amadeus
