Brand new HighLife in 1F on the morning flight to Zurich today so I finally buckled to peer pressure and graffitid it... Not sure if I did it on the right page and I just realised I put the wrong date but better than nothing!

Also - I make it a point not to sit next to colleagues on 7am flights, it's my only productive period in the week due to lack of interruptions... The day they make wifi available on BA flights and I suddenly have access to FT mid-flight I may as well retire/resign...

Forgot to post i had my first "hit" last thursday on the LHR>GLA shuttle.
Unfortunately the other FTer hadn't included their screenname but they had been on a ABZ>LHR at some point, and had written something along the lines of "where am i today?".
Anyone want to own up to defacing Highlife?

Perhaps, though, what you took as just a random message may have been their handle?

Seems unlikely that it was the user WhereAmIToday.

I write three lines, eg:
www.flyertalk.com
antichef
DUS-LHR 4 July
Then if somebody spots it who is playing the game, they will know what it is. If a casual observer found it and was curious they could probably find out enough to see what we are up to, or send a PM if they sign up.
A bit like finding a tagged bird or fish and notifying the research agency responsible!

You would think that the governing body of such a popular sport would be setting out the exact rules (after recieving bribes for voting for a particular airline to host the next world event )

met and played game with another FTer!
I was on the flight from DUS-LHR yesterday, and had seen from ba97.com that another FTer was on the flight. However his ba97.com handle did not compute as an FT handle, so I could not send an email suggesting a lounge meet.
In the lounge he updated his ba97.com profile with his seat number, so when boarding I was able to say hello! He did seem a little surprised when I addressed him by his handle
I was sitting two rows behind so duly discussed the game and made our entries albeit at this stage of the month the odds are reduced.
At LHR we had a coffee and chat before departing our separate ways. So when Airprox sends me his address I am going to send him a bright yellow FT label!
Nice to meet you ^

The seat was still warm!!
.... but that is PROBABLY because I boarded in LCA.
We knew from another thread that this hit was going to happen, but it is fair to report in here.
Smirnoff was on the 662 yesterday from LHR-LCA, and I was on the 663 from LCA-LHR. Entries duly reported on the map page of HighLife.
As Cyba was also in LCA boarding another (non-BA) flight, all three of us were finally in the terminal at about the same time but still failed to meet up for a drink (ie a mini-FT do)

Are we still conducting this 'sport'? I have had no hits, nor reports of being 'hit'. Still, it's the start of a new month / highlife and with a few flights coming up next week, I'm hoping to change that.

I very nearly ended up playing with myself (steady! ) last month as I defaced a page on the morning flight to JER. Some weeks later I was supposed to be in the same seat (5A) on what I later discovered was the same aircraft.
Sadly, the CE curtain was put back a row and I was, in fact, in 6A. Would that have counted as a win?!
