Wonderful! I shall have nightmare over this topic if I were to read anymore about it!!!

There seems to be an OBSESSION with some readers over this seating and it is not even from Kelvin Klein!!!

[DisgustedofSwieqi]

I have heard that it is impossible to pre-reserve seat 172K on Yangon Airlines, as this is where the inflight meal is slaughtered.

Any truth in this?

[Potakas]

I don’t know about Yahgon, although wherever i can I will reserve my seat on 60B, must be the least used 😀

[MartynSinclair]

DS is factually wrong, 60B is a reserved for staff, the Captain is staff and since when should any staff member have the authority to give company products/services away foc.

This is very relevant here, as Potokas asked the question about reserving seats on the upper deck. The answer is yes you can, except for the prime seat which on certain flights is designated a staff seat, unless the captain wants, with intent, to give the seat away as a freebie, to a ‘cling on’.

Stop being obstreperous DS, just because you either have been or currently are on occasions a beneficiary of 60B.

Oh for goodness sake MartynSinclair…drop the subject. I am sure that we are all totally fed up with your rants about 60B. We have got the point that you dont agree with it. Now put your teddy back in your pram.

[MartynSinclair]

Quite frankly Disgusted, you should head up the “cling-ons” exec club!

[VintageKrug]

What a ridiculous statement.

Cling Ons would never sit in 60B.

They would obviously prefer 60J/K.

[MartynSinclair]

Ha ha VK – my tickets are paid for – unlike some who have large corporations + expense accounts to support them.

Drive on son, drive on……………

[VintageKrug]

Where or how one earns ones TPs is largely irrelevant; I have qualified for my Gold Card every single year I have had one via personal travel, with my work-related spend merely adding to the pot.

So sorry to hear you neither have an expense account nor a large corporation wishing to employ you. I cannot imagine why that is the case.

Amazing footage of a Klingon in the seat that shall not be named 🙂

Disgusted, you really shouldnt have gone to all that trouble arranging for one of VK’s camera’s crews to film you. You look so, so so DisgustedofSwiegi..

Hey, if you are stuck for work, the Euro vision is coming up.

With your ‘Klingon’ or ‘cling on’ status and VK’s expense account, there could be a good chance of getting some points other than tier points.

Good luck “guys” or “gals” or “inbetween” status.

Dear all,

Whilst I enjoy BA’s on-board product, lounges, and staff for the most part I really think the seating policy is ridiculous compared to the competition. I’ve been BAEC Silver over the last two years, and I’ve been Star Gold since 1999. Given my current travel destinations, and that I manage my own travel budget now I have consider pushing more business across to BA as I will never make the M&M HON level, but I can have BAEC Gold and M&M Senator easily. However, due to my experience with BA seating policy I may reconsider.

For Easter, I wanted to take someone along for a trip to New York. I decided to buy one CW ticket for myself, and giving my travel companion a free ticket on my BA miles. Obviously, putting this in the same PNR is impossible.

So I booked her ticket online, followed my mine and had both show up in “Manage My Bookings”. Went to see seating chart on mine, booked my seats and started working on hers… Of course, “please Mr Senator, you have to pay £160 for this pleasure”. Needless to say, this was out of the question. So I rang reservations, and the BAEC call centre and I get the same story.

This really diminishes the BA experience for me.

[DisgustedofSwieqi]

Senator

I agree.

When you pay a premium, you do not expect to pay a further premium.
