Please see post 2 for the latest lounge guesting offers and requests. Please check ba97.com in the first instance.
As always, PM the person to confirm, as I (Stez) make no guarantees to the accuracy of my updates and the invites may have gone to someone else. Times are presumably local, and is when you are in the lounge or ready to be invited. Usually those offering invites themselves will be happy to be guested into a superior lounge - there is no need to make a combined offer/request (offer GC but want a better lounge).
It'd be great if you could post your lounge guesting/request in the same format as below... OFFER|REQUEST dd-MMM-yyyy / hh:mm-hh:mm / XXX / Terminal Lounge / FlyerTalkName
Eg, OFFER 32-JAN-2010 / 15:00-17:30 / LHR / T5 GC / Stez
Alternatively, angatol created a script which is run in your web-browser using Greasemonkey Firefox extension, and formats your quick reply box with flights from your PNR in the format as above. Just change times to when you are available to guest, and change OFFER to REQUEST/lounge where appropriate. No private information is sent to anyone except checkmytrip.com, it is all executed on your web browser.
To search this thread for any particular dates you are interested in to see if anyone else is offering or requesting, just use the "Search this Thread" function, and put the date in double quotes, eg "30-OCT-2013"
Upcoming BA FlyerTalk Dos:
Possible SYD Do in mid-January...
Maybe one in Cornwall?

Lounge meet up | 2013 master thread
We have created a dedicated thread to accommodate the steady flow of lounge guesting or meet-up requests. However before posting here, do check the excellent BA97 calendar:
http://www.ba97.com/calendar.asp
Hosted by FT’er ba97. ^
If there is nothing shown here then post away – some FT’ers choose not to show their flights on the calendar.

Nice one!
But how about maintaining the first post like they do for the Hilton meeting thread for example:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hilto...ng-thread.html
That would make it much more efficient IMO
By the way, we can guest 3 into CCR on 23/01 from around 9-10am

Actually, this thread is screaming out for a wikipost that can be edited by anyone that then could be updated regularly by the community...hopefully the ability to modify wikiposts by non MOD or Ambassador people will get sorted this year...
Otherwise, a great idea Panny. ^

Here's one waaaaaay in advance - on Wed 1st May, will be able to guest 2 into the CCR from around midday.
I suspect I'll be back to remind on this much nearer the time!

Can guest 1 into GC on Saturday 2nd of Feb at 5.30am (may change if i can move the flights from CE to ET to save some avios!, as my wife will then become my guest rather than getting in on her ticket.)
Of course any offers of GF or CCR would be fantastic!

A very very early request that I hope someone will be able to help me with.
It is still touch and go whether or not I will re qualify for my AA Platinum this year so I would be extremely grateful for guesting into a T5 lounge on Friday 12th April from around 7PM. I am flying on the BA109 LHR-DXB.
It would be great to meet with a fellow flyertalker and talk FT, BA and possibly enjoy a glass of bubbly!
Not expecting anyone to know that far out yet, but on the off chance someone can....
