Hope you can sleep.

You do need a fairly full flight, but on that route it's not unusual.

Thanks! Yes, WTP, which is a rare treat in my line of work. My status is with AAnother AAirline, so UuA is not an option. I fully appreciate that the gate shepherd will look after his own flock first, but BA has been kind to me on more than one past occasion. I will expect nothing, but make a champagne sacrifice to the gods before boarding.
