I humbly request the inclusion of my really excellent TR somewhere, which started on 1 Jan 2015, in the appropriate Index. I don't do 'Live TRs', as they're far too exciting to attempt.

TR Shifted
As my "Work in Progress" TR to St Lucia has already been silently shifted to the TR Forum, I will add a placemark here.
There will be much more to be said about BA in Part 4.
Please follow the Thread there, or here, or both.

Yes. No return for my efforts, as very few people bother to comment over there in TR-Land. Not surprising, given that the huge percentage of US users on FT have absolutely no interest in a BA ex-UK holiday route.
However, that's the anonymous Moderator's decision and I of course accept that.
In return, I will stop bothering to write TRs that just get buried somewhere else on FT whilst I'm in the middle of writing it. At least I was allowed to finish my HNL TR on the BA Forum last month before it was politely moved to the TR forum.
I will now be able to enjoy travelling without endlessly taking photos of food and lounges, and carrying a diary recording all the steps along the way, and spending much of jet-lag day generating the TR for the BA community.
PS. I had either not seen, or completely forgotten, Post #9 by Prospero.

As for enjoying the flights without having to take pictures and notes. I spend little time taking pictures and stopped taking notes years ago....I just trust my memory or make it up as I go along.
Keep them coming and stop being so flippin' huffy.

My reports have always been posted directly to the Trip Report forum without the need of a plug on here....that's just the way I've always done it. I don't care how many comments they get as that's not why I do them. Moomba once made a comment saying he mainly published them for himself as they were a good way of reminding him of his travels. Just the other day I read an old one of mine and enjoyed reliving the trip through the report so I agree with him on that.

I for one always enjoy reading Trip Reports, even if I don't always leave a comment. I do hope that T8191 doesn't feel that nobody is interested, because I'm sure they are. All the TR's are full of useful stuff and I think they help people with some of their planning.
Keep them all coming I say!
I must hunt down HIDDY's contributions, I'm curious now.

Time for another TP run and this time I'm going to try to write the trip report as I go (unlike my last trip to Hawaii where it's still half written on my laptop). As is the norm I'm off to Hawaii, staying for a week so it won't just be a report on all things BA/AA but also a little about Hawaii itself: Another Tier Point/Mileage Run to Hawaii [Semi Live]
I've already written the first chunk, as I'm sat in the lounge at DUB waiting for my flight back to LHR mid afternoon. This gives me a chance to finish the report from August...
