You could have arranged to meet up with yourself and have a drink in the lounge before your next flight

I gave up... marked several High Life's (mainly DUS-LHR; LGW-JER) and never hit anybody, or have been hit as far as I am aware..

Sadly, I have to report that yesterday I was on the same aircraft and in the same seat as I was a few weeks previously. My graffiti wasn't in the magazine, nor in the magazines seats nearby.

I am forced to conclude that someone felt my autograph was too valuable to leave on board and half-inched it. I feel the odds of success in this game are very low, but I'm still (stubbornly) going to continue playing it!

You can always ask the CC for a pen, I believe. Not sure if that will help, though....

Only just found this - will start playing on my next flight.

... well that will eliminate the allegation that you were playing with yourself

But still curious!

I have managed to discover my own graffiti before, perhaps somebody removed the mag, and replacements have been inserted. It certainly reduces the odds though

Hi all,

I was on the BA0663 on the 11th March and was quite surprised when I opened the Europe pages of High Life to find:

Unfortunately I didn't have a pen to add my details below. But will carry one in future. I also wonder how many hits have ever appeared together on one High Life Page ?

Have to commend antichef for the dedication in continuing to do this! I have to confess I always check, but don't think I fly in seats FTers tend to fly in.

That one was in 1D or 1F, which are usually reserved for GCHs until t-24 IIRC. Actualy I was booked and OCLI'd in 1D the day before but work ran over and I had to get myself offlloaded and shuffled back one day. As I do LCA every month there usually is one of mine marked up. Bear in mind the game was started because three of us here who are regulars on that run realised we all preferred the same seat.

As I did 7 flights between Sun- Sat last week I tend to leave a lot of marks! I also had three other booking and offloaded myself from those flights as I got rerouted and retasked. Slightly busier than the average week, which have been only about 4 flights per week recently

Marking up any seat down the back really is a reduced chance of a hit, but as a lot of posters here would have some status or knowledge of the system they presumably will aim for where there is a higher chance of a strike in the exit rows or the front cabin of CE in "preferential seats", and on CW probably in 64A&K etc.

Do you mean economy? There's a lot of us around here (we're just less vocal than the F and J lot!)

I've marked up a few magazines in Europe in the last couple of weeks. Can anyone find me?

Happy hunting!

Just giving this one a bump for the festive season.

I still haven't had a hit, but I keep trying!
