BA Shop: If you've got kids...
If you've got kids, I highly recommend this toy when you next have an opportunity to buy on board. My 21 month old son loves it.

So do I!

LOL - I read that as 21-year old son!

I was a bit concerned for you for a moment

I am glad he likes it... They are very popular onboard. Usually sell it on most flights.

Got it on the way back form CPH a couple of weekends ago. Asked on the way out and they said there's usually only 1 stocked so we took out chances that we could pick it up on the way home.

I think it's a really good quality toy set and excellent value for money.

You should see the size of the 'little' suitcases and the signs!

Given it says for ages 3+ I'm slightly concerned that your 21 month old son is allowed to play with it.

I'm planning to buy Little Miss P one of these to play with in Cyprus next week.

Are they only available on board? I really hope they are in stock when we fly!!!

By the way, since we visited the Heritage Center a couple of months ago, stayed at the Hilton T4 (just for the hell of it) and spent a good couple of hours on the top floor watching planes take off and land, she has told me several times "Daddy, when I'm bigger I want to drive an aeroplane".

Sure, but you don't get any extra Avios for it as you do for buying onboard

It is very good (but it was only 10 when i bought it a couple of years ago ). jumbodriver must have contributed to the design, because the 747 rotates at Vr

Good tactic, I tried to buy on the way back TATL on Friday and was told that it had sold on the way out.

Very cute ... and an authentic representation of LHR.

Look, there's the A-10 bus ... and a lack of snow-clearing equipment

I was about to buy this, but then noticed it didn't have New First. It's disgraceful that BA hasn't updated it.

I'm never flying BA toy planes again.
