In reply to Rob. But you can't on the vast majority of their routes. Finnair hold the monopoly in Finland for direct flights. If I want to fly from HEL to UK then its either AY to LHR or Ryanscare to Stansted (and that is never an option).

Will it still be possible to get free seat selection on Business Classic (or Light) if you have BA Silver?

That’s a horrible move I am afraid
I understand they try to cut the costs but everything has limits. Why bother to fly with them if you can get the same with Easyjet or Ryanair?

So demand has fallen and in response they make the airline less appealing.
That’ll work.
