Previously, only BA Silver and Gold card holders and those travelling in First were permitted to choose a seat prior to online check in opening 24 hours before the flight, so in a sense this is a “new” service that wasn’t previoulsy available. Having said that, it is obvioulsy a sign of the continuing trend towards charging for things that previously were “free” (albeit, effectively subsidised through higher fares).

Well, assigning a seat should be free on normal airlines. On budget airlines, you need to pay if you want a particular seat and for a meal. Just like BA.

I can understand paying a fee for additional services but that’s pretty pricey for a few mouse clicks.

They *don’t* do this. I’m having trouble with proofreading and grammar today, lol.
