While many airlines charge for advance seat assignments in economy nowadays,one of British Airways' most egregious policies is that they also charge for seat assignments in business class.
It's crazy that you can pay $10000+ for a business class ticket and then be asked to shell out further cash just to choose a seat. The cost to assign seats in British Airways business class in advance is as follows:-- Seats in European shorthaul Club Europe cabin start from £20/€24/$30
-- On longer international flights, seats in Club World cabin start from £55/€66/$83As you can see, or those are starting prices. In other words,seat assignments on many longhaul flights will dash you $100+ each way.
I find that policy to be ridiculous, but at the same time having recently flown British Airways' longhaul business class, and I can see one benefit to these fees.
