Lucky this coincides with no flying and therefore no lounge access with tempting free drinks also.

There are at least two Flyertalkers who don't drink nor smoke so you will be in great company (even if I say so myself! ).

They're a frequent flying newbie, but eager to dive in!

It might be that I'm coming straight from Paris with bag in tow. Will my bag be welcome or is the place too posh for the likes of me?
The one with the beautiful view?

If I am able to attend, I would be coming from Paris as well. Let me know your method of traveling maybe we can go together.. Though as usual my plans are up in the air.

Blimey, this will be crazy, I'll never meet anyone with 100+ people there (channeling my Yogi Berra).

I should know next week if I will be in London. Definitely in Europe, need to line up Italy, London and one more spot and see if I can keep everyone happy and make this shindig, but I am trying hard

At the DO? Nobody goes there any more. It's too crowded.

Looks like I'll be there too, with my other half, who's starting to enjoy FT-enhanced travelling

We're off to Bilbao the next morning, so we'll heading off in time for one of the last Piccadilly line trains down to the HGI Heathrow. Not sure if anyone else has an early departure, but we snagged a fairly good deal there in the current sale!

I tend to forget it's just not received wisdom back in Europe
