My good friend who I'm going with on Saturday has just made Silver the other day. Does anyone know if his BA Blackberry app showing his status be good enough for access for him and his girlfriend? He'll obviously be able to prove it's him with ID.
Your thoughts would be much appreciated

Thanks very much. There's 6 of us going on the Saturday evening session. 3 Silvers and our better halves. Really looking forward to it - I must be as I'm even going to step foot on a train to get there. A very rare occurrence for me!

I'm just back from the evening session. For those interested in lounge/tent access, they are visually checking cards on the door and then scanning them and checking on a laptop just inside the lounge/tent.
I will post a mini TR tomorrow about Height Cuisine and the lounge/tent and event in general.

Any restrictions on F+B consumption?

None whatsoever...canapés ran short but free flowing beverages. Bibendum were there showcasing their wine offerings for First and this year instead of Loch Fyne BA had another supplier of smoked salmon doing hand carvings.
Had a 20 min chat with Frank VdP who hinted at some upcoming changes to carry on the enhancement of the customer experience. Came across as a great chap who recognises the challenges he has in terms of meeting customer expectations of the overall BA brand.
The layout of the lounge was more spacious than previous years and capacity controls of circa 100 were being enforced due to H&S reasons.
Overall very pleasant experience and much appreciated hospitality from BA...

Was at Taste last night with four colleagues and had a blast. Rain only came down hard right at the end, but be warned wellies are the best footwear. Almost need a second trip as had such a great time at various restaurants only made it to BAEC towards end of event and it was packed.
