True true...

I am glad to see that is not just a Heathrow thing then... Honestly... they are sssooo heavy handed sometimes, no wonder things don't work!

Indeed... I often wonder how where and when it happened... And why certain pages... nothing particularly "interesting" on the pages in questions usually!

Yuck!

Anyhow... what seat should we choose? It seems unlikely we'll get a hit, unless we scramble to look through all HL's in a row?

I'm normally the occupier of 1D or 2D if I am travelling CE, depending on the amount of hand luggage (not much = 1D, because 1D doesn't have a seat in front to put my handbag under and I feel really guilty if I feel I am being an overhead locker space hog).

For ET, I try to get the front row of ET in C.

Well last week I had a lot of time sitting at LHR on my return to fill my name onto the map page. Introduced one of the flight attendants to FT and explained what I was doing - which got a chuckle! You can get very pally when you have seven hours together onboard for a one hour flight.

Not that there is some semblance of order being restored that those still flying with BA will be encouraged to play!!

It really was not the best start to the game as it got rapidly buried in snow and cancellation posts

I've been happily defacing HL maps page since my first flight this year (I think it was Jan 6th) mind you - after 6 hours in the B lounge wine bar and 3 glasses of fizz waiting for deicing etc. The one I did in 62K probably wasn't very clear. Since then I've defaced another 62K and a 64K. Realised yesterday that it was pointless scribbling on the 64K I had as it was Feb 1st and the HL was marked as Jan (so I assumed it would get replaced after return to LHR.)

OT: the fifth freedom flight I had EZE-GRU yesterday was great. Proper seat/ bed, AVOD (not that I used it), fizz before take off, 3 course lunch (with 2, count them, 2 chocolates - all for a 2 hour flight. I even got given a Elemis bag thingy (very useful as I'm almost out of toothpaste)

why can't CE be like this? *sigh*

I also did a 62K on LHR-HKG the other night. I think this is the most likely seat to get a hit.

A gentle bump to encourage new players

Think your flogging a dead horse.
