Seatplans Q&A
We have two seats on BA227 flight from Heathrow to Atlanta on 4 Oct 2010 - departing at 15.00 hrs – enhanced economy.
I am a nervous traveller and would like to see what seats we are booked in and change if they are not suitable. The travel agent that we booked with did not think this option was available any more?
Please can you advise
