Changing a British Airways seat after check-in: review the paid-seat conditions

BA offers seat management in Manage My Booking and allows paid-seating changes on those flights subject to availability. A higher-priced choice requires additional payment; a lower-priced choice does not produce a refund. BA publishes a different limitation for a BA-operated flight marketed by another airline: its paid seating cannot be changed under the cited rule. Basic fares also differ from eligible non-Basic fares, because an automatic check-in assignment is not a free choice of another seat. Review the current options for the actual flight and follow the instructions shown after any accepted change. BA can reassign seats for operational reasons, including during boarding. The retrieved page does not establish one final post-check-in change cutoff for every booking, so do not rely on an invented last-minute deadline or assume every channel remains available until departure.
