Why do people on here think that the public will ever shop by comfort over price? Price has become the prime factor for the majority in most purchases. The need to get a bargain supersedes all other considerations for many.
Because they take to Trip Advisor and say how awful the flight was and there was no room to stretch your legs and the seat was too small, plus everything else.
When I attempted to choose my seats, there was an exorbitant charge. The seat configuration is the same as economy as well.
I called BA to question the policy, given the fact I had paid so much more for my ticket, and the HUFFY agent explained I can choose the leftover seat 24 hours in advance for free. This policy is true for all classes of travel with BA. I feel somewhat ripped off and will not fly with them again.
The AA legs of the trip allowed me to choose seats for free.
