I do everything I can to avoid them.
Not if your journey begins London!

They provide me with a choice of 4 cabins (with 2 being flat beds) and on a worst case scenario, free booze in Y.

Oh yeah, they also fly non-stop to a few destinations as well.

Taking calls from a panicking idiot like me who somehow convinced herself that she dropped her passport at LHR when it was in fact buried deep among my pile of bags?

(Yes I confirm they were there at 3am some months ago when I committed this stupid act.)

OP what cabin were you in? Do they keep the champagne flowing in this situation in F and J? Also distribute water? tea/coffee? would they let folks in Y sleep on the floor in J just to let everyone stretch out? or let folks use the empty J and F seats? kind of upgrading people just so they can sleep?

Hey there. I was fortunate to be in J. I think the crew was at a loss to some extent. They did serve dinner around 1am while ground staff was being alerted etc. post that I don't know as I didn't want to hang around in the plane till 5am followed by hanging around in the lounge till 1230pm, so I got off and cabbed it home. As far as I saw, everyone was in their seats. And when I got back to the airport and went to the lounge on the B concourse, there were tons of J passengers from my flight sleeping/lounging on the couches. Not sure where the unfortunate folks in Y got to
