Seating no seats available

not sure what will happen in this scenario ?
booked some last minute flights a few days away for me and partner in premium cash booking
we are VS silver and AF platinum
however only one seat is available in premium cabin and that is preferred £75
i am not paying for seating so???

When you get to the airport you’ll get assigned to the bulkhead row which right now is blocked.

Ok thanks the other thing was you can only buy one premium seat on the flight so was hoping for a free upgrade

To point out though, if anyone has requested bulkhead due to bassinet, you’ll most likely take those seats that become available and not get the bulkhead

If you’re only silver, I’d imagine there would be others ahead of you on the free upgrade list.

What’s the flight number and date and we can look at the loads.

Busy flight.

Generally agreed. Although OpUps aren’t just based on status. Things like fare bucket and number of passengers on the PNR are factors too. Getting OpUps as a single gold on an expensive fare is usually the way. VS tends to not split parties up for obvious reasons.

As for bassinets, the reason the bulkhead is empty is that it’s the only place for bassinets (as most know). The check in agents can clearly see who has an infant - staff can pull up the load sheet, select the cabin and filter it to easily see this. It’s uncommon to get given a bulkhead then get kicked out of it because the staff know who really need these seats.
