Hello does anyone know whether one has to pay two separate seat reservation fees on a BA flight from London to Sydney, one for LHR-SIN and a second for SIN-SYD? Or is it just one fee for the combined journey?
Also Seatguru is saying that the flight is operated by a B777 with the old yin/yang business class seats, not the new seats all of which have aisle access. Can this be correct given it’s BA’s longest flight?
Don’t ever use seat guru
If you want to see what plane is currently scheduled to operate check the seat map if booked or do a dummy booking if you haven’t.
The only 777’s with yin/yang seats left at LHR are the three ex-LGW 777-200’s, which to the best of my knowledge never work to Singapore or Sydney.
Re fees, if you have a single flight LHR – SYD that’s one seat selection fee, even if it happens to stop in Singapore on the way.
If you booked LHR – SIN and SIN – SYD as separate flights that’s two fees.
Edit: Having looked, the Sydney flight is a 787-9, which is the old seats.
Fair enough, I checked two random dates next month and June 2025, didn’t consider seasonal variations.
Either way seatguru is offering duff info! If it’s a 777 then pretty much guaranteed CS on that route, if they swap for a 787 then could go either way.
Can confirm it’s one fee for the full flight if it’s the BA15 route. Think it was about £89 for a WTP.
Seatguruis is dead and gone….anything you can see is old info.
Thank you to you all for your advice. Having booked the SYD-SIN-LHR flight for the middle of December, we now know that it is a 777 with the new club suite so we are taking Rob’s advice (from an e-mail sometime in the past) and not spending even more money reserving seats. Flying outbound as far as Singapore on a BA A380 with the old seats so it’s much more of a risk not reserving seats but we’ll take a decision on whether to spend an extra £100 or thereabouts per person a bit nearer the time.
