I have flown BA for many years and have never had the opportunity to sit in Club and am looking forward to it very much. I wondered how busy the flights might be and at OLCI what seat you would pursue...Thanks for your input. Hope it's a great flight for me. Also-- How many tier points should these flights and return bring?? Thanks again!
Specefically rows 62 or 64 in the upperdeck if available.
The window seats in both are very spacious with the one in 64 being very private.
Remember you will only be able to choose them at t-72 if you have no status or at olci.
If it's the same pnr you should be able to online check in and secure your seat(s) for cai 24hrs before your kax leg at the same time as you are choosing the lax ones-just enter the cai leg and do that after you've cjosen them for lax-lhr.

I fly BA CW LHR-CAI approx six times per annum and even though BA uses a 744 the flight is invariably full every day.

As others have noted, anything on the Upper Deck. Mrs PtF and I always sit in 64J and K (useful to be at the rear of the cabin for a quick disembarkation to be at the front of the CAI immigration queue). 64A is a bassinet position. Given that your itinerary is ex-LAX you have an OLCI advantage over those ex-LHR passengers who can only OLCI at T-24. Be aware that with a half-decent tailwind LHR-CAI can be achieved in 4 hours, so you won't have much time to get too comfortable.

Assuming an all-CW itinerary, as far as I'm aware you should earn 120TPs per flight; 480 in total (4 x 120).
If you need any further advice on CAI - I'm your man!

Of course I'll be careful not to utter "I'm your man" when VC10 Boy is around; it might lead to a sticky ending!

Forget about PUCCI and VC10 Boy - you'll always be Phil the Fabulous to me

Darn it; I wish you'd told me that 48 hours ago and I would have stopped by to say hello when I dropped my sister and brother-in-law off at LGW North Terminal yesterday morning for their BA2227 to ATL.

You didn't let me know you were passing through - unforgiveable
I would've come in early just to see you, or you could have visited the sunrisegirl shack nearby for a coffee. Please do better next time
Hey Sunrise-I'll be passing through LGW next Saturday when I drop my best friend and hubby off for the 2173 JFK-are you around? I'll stop by and say Hi?

Hiya, I'm afraid if you mean the 10th I'll be on a day off and heading to sunny Brighton-by-Sea. It'll have to be next time or coffee at the cat house soon

Indeed?
So I won at Strip Poker and chose you to be my Action Man. You ran away covering your modesty with a business card seized from a London phone box (French Maid indeed!).
You may forget about VC10 Boy - you will always be my No 1 Man on Flyertalk. Well after Spottie as he is special and you are in Egypt.
SunDance - Girl we need to talk. If you want him, you may have him. Unconditionally. However he will never forget me. Ever.
