An example?

Wow, beautiful graphics there BotB. Just saw the thread, not ready to bite the bullet yet. But if the souvenir of the the DO is a BP like yours, I'm all in.

I'm also out on the 11th via the BA2772 and back on the 12th via the BA2773, seats 2C booked both ways. Also in the Rad.
So pleased you are coming! We can have our usual drink and chat in the bar

Oops! Will try to get the wiki updated with concise and complete info!

Agree re: boarding passes (too much real estate and size and too personalised), seems it would be something people would like as a memento and 'name badge' for the DO so will tweak it a bit more for the DO and print them out before coming to the DO on thicker card for people to have and do some other graphic for the flights and hotels.

^ Thanks for the feedback, I'll work with T8191 to do a card we can hand out to those attending and they can decide if they want to keep them or not.

Cheers, the real souvenir of the DO are the memories of the beautiful island, great people and nice hosts! (but happily will do some type of the BP for souvenirs as well)

Hope to see you there onobond ^

Ooo, so tempted.

Is best value from booking as a BA Holiday? Quoted £408 including breakfast for a 1 night stay (albeit CE flights) or £498 for two. Looking at booking into the Radisson Blu, both on recommendation of T8191 and everyone else booking into it.

Separately, the cheapest CE flights are around £218 and the Radisson is from £187 (£200 with breakfast) with BA (same room £155 inc. breakfast at the Radisson.com website)
Add £50 if you want the 12:55 party flight.

£349 for a holiday booking / £399 on the party flight.

Around £50 cheaper as a holiday booking....

Or, if you have any Club Carlson points, you can get a room for 10k points + £ 89. A good value IMO. (and what angeloedades and me have booked). ^

£ 218 or £ 223 with CC fees for CE out/back separately.

Put me down as a possible at this stage. I'll need to check my work schedule as well as RFS flights from Glasgow. This DO definitely sounds amazing. After reading about this year's JER DO, it seems like it is the pinnacle of the BA DO calendar.

Excellent. I've been reading your excellent forums more and more and am actually based in Jersey... and live in Castle Quay right next to The Bar. Wanted to come in 2014 but was unable to. Will come along this time!

Excellent, I'm sure T8191 will be along to rope you into helping keep us under control on the day

I can confirm that I will be definitely be able to attend the JER Do.

I've not booked any flights yet but will do so just after the year and I will probably stay at the Raddison.
