Just a quick bump incase people wanted to to meet up at Taste of London

What's the score with the BA tent?

Do you need status to get in?

If so, can you also guest people in?

I guess I could try a bit of DYKWIA on and tell them I have collected over 1,000,000 Avios in the past year

You could try - flash your Lloyds TSB card and see how far you get

How many of those were earned from actually flying

I'm tempted to go but MrsLA isn't, and I can't tempt any of my friends with the free champagne on offer

LondonAndy, does that mean I have to take my card with me to enter BA's tent?

You need your BA card to enter if you purchased your tickets. However, those who won tickets through the very kind raffle BA and Nicci hosted obviously won't need a card.

have fun, wish I could make it

I'm not LondonAndy, but yes you have to bring your card with you to get in.

I am going on Saturday to the late session + 7 (4 GCH and guests )

I'll be there on the Thursday evening.

Last year I went on the Saturday afternoon, which was much too busy and spoilt the whole experience. I've wisely decided to avoid the crowds this year

They will know who you are

When are you going - I can guest you in if you can't find your card

I got VIP tickets 40 each,

This VIP ticket includes fast track entry, priority seating in th Taste Theater, 20 of crowns, a Taste 2012 recipe book and access to the VIP lounge with a complimentary glass of Laurent-Perrier on arrival.
So the VIP lounge isn't the BA lounge, or is it?

Yahillwe, do you not want to say when you are going?

I'll be there 12-3 on Friday - lucky enough to be there in corporate hospitality at The Menu(TM) so not sure how widely I'll be able to explore though. Sadly I don't think that invite also gets me into Tent BA.

Yeah for sure they'll know who I am, they'll close all the gates once they see me marching in flailing my arms all over the place. .


Thanks for the invite LondonAndy, but I am already invited....And I really don't know what day am going, since I am invited and supposedly the ticket will be delivered...

Good lord, is it such a big function? Do we have to get dressed up?
