Excellent, my first hit. Remembering to write on the magazines has been a bit random, I must admit. Am yet to find any others myself.

Can I suggest that you add "www.flyertalk.com" to the graffiti

... it might encourage curious travellers to join in and look us up!!

Just got my first hit today! My handle was apparently spotted in 12C seat by another FT-er!

Are people still playing this game? I've hardly done any flying this year and always forgot to play on the few flights I have taken. I've got a few long haul holidays coming up Oct, Nov and Dec so keep your eyes peeled.

I played it in June thinking it had a good chance of being spotted, given it was only the 3rd so had most of the month to run.
No feedback whatsoever which proves what I've always thought. That Flyertalkers represent about 0.1% of BA customers.

As with lottery tickets, you greatly increase your odds of success if you remember to buy your ticket.

You start writing and we'll keep a sharp lookout

I think that % may be excessively high

But I suspect that we aim for "better seats", emergency exit rows and cabins at the front which narrow the odds significantly.

jamesegrant was sat beside me on the ABZ-LHR this afternoon.

Pen in hand, I was just about to scribble on the HighLife when he asked if it was my bag with the FT label in the overhead locker!!

I reckon that scores here and the "FT luggage tags" thread too ��

ps - both in the emergency exit seats.

Bingo!!

Just boarded the ABZ-LHR bus and in the emergency exit row I find an inscribed HighLife from myself for BRU-LHR on 6 October.
