Seq 001 on the 174 tonight. I don't think it counts though as I'm connecting from CLE. It's shooting fish in a barrel when you're automatically checked in 6 hours before everyone else. Still, it's the flight that takes me to Silver for the first time so I'll claim it, even if I am a big fraud

My first time last night LGW - EDI
Seq. 001 Seat 1A, was first on the plane (without trying, just fortuitous timing) and first off the plane (again due to the cabin layout I didn't even need to get out of my seat until the door was opened to achieve this as there was no divider in front), plane was very early back into EDI and to top it all off I got only green lights during my drive home. Managed to arrive home 1 minute ahead of the scheduled landing time. Probably unlikely to manage all elements to combine like that ever again.

So got seq 001 for Saturdays BA287 to SFO. Feel like i slightly cheated though as it is an ex-DUB which takes off the day before, which in turn means that check in opened on a Thursday for the entire outbound journey.
On a side note there was some confusion at check in as the check in lady asked if the DUB-LHR flight I was on is the one that was cancelled today! She asked me if it was cancelled! After we both looked at the BA app on my phone she checked me in. Although the ETA in london has disappeared the flight still shows on time. (BA837).

I got seq 001 for this morning's early EDI-LGW, and was allocated seat 1F, I tried to share my excitement with my work colleagues and was met with blank stares and mutterings if "you really need to get out more"...
