flight filling up. should I be worried about getting bumped!

Just wondering if I should be worried. My flight is not for over 3 weeks - but there are only 4 unassigned seats!


As this is a reward seat, purchased with E miles + a PE upgrade voucher, I am now worried about getting bumped in favour of a fare paying customer!

Should I be? or is it first come, first served & check in.

No need to worry
You haven't purchased a 'space available' upgrade
It's confirmed and your status will be the same as anyone else in that cabin.
Also the map does not show the seats greyed out to be held back for on the day check in.
You really don't have anything to be concerned about.

Do not worry I should think it highly unlikely you would get bumped. We have been on many a reward flight and its never happened to us. Even a reward UC ticket and all the cabins have been full.LInda

No personally, I would't worry about it. Row 18 (the bulk head row) will be blocked and will currently be un-occupied still anyway until OLCI opens.

Ooh now there is an incentive to check in early!
I like the bulkhead seats.
Would they be better than the seats I have?

Also done several reward flights always in a full cabin (When is LGW 747 not full) and never had a problem.
As far as I can tell the more usual reason to get bumped is because you have booked a certain seat and its broken and out of use.

On my return (reward) PE flight from BGI to LGW I was the first person to check in (the checkin agent commented on my SEQ1 even though I hadn't realised!) and there weren't any bulkhead row seats available, I had to take the seat I had previously, which was the only one available for allocation, so don't bank on them being up for grabs. I think on my flight they were all bar 2 taken by peple with young children.
