:-:Please post your offers and requests in the appropriate format, 24-hour clock please

OFFER dd-MMM-yyyy / hh:mm-hh:mm / XXX / Terminal Lounge / FlyerTalkName
REQUEST dd-MMM-yyyy / hh:mm-hh:mm / XXX / Terminal Lounge / FlyerTalkName
MEET UP dd-MMM-yyyy / hh:mm-hh:mm / XXX / Terminal Lounge / FlyerTalkName

for example, OFFER 12-JAN-2015 / 15:00-17:30 / LHR / T5 GC / Stez

Please also update here: Current to post #2312

The above makes it easy for this wiki to be kept updated and to quickly find the relevant information.

A reminder - those offering guesting are quite happy to be guested to a superior lounge! There is no need to post a separate request with your offer, this is in the interests of efficiency and housekeeping of the wiki.

Please add your details directly into the wiki if you feel confident/have wiki-posting privileges (must be member for at least 90 days/90 posts). Alternatively, please post as normal and someone will be along to add the details here.

Etiquette guidance: Send a (polite) private message to the poster if you want to be guested in, but do NOT pester (I'm sorry to have to spell it out) - take the first answer, it might be a yes or a no. If you are expecting to be guested into a lounge, please don't expect your "guester" to do all the work such as coming to find you, it is just plain rude. The more posts you have on FlyerTalk, the better your chances, as most people do not want to meet a complete stranger. Likewise, it is generally accepted that you do not post on behalf of your friend/relative if you are not going to be there as this is for FlyerTalker users.

Please only post meetups for oneworld lounges. Meetups at other alliance/airline lounges such as SkyTeam/Star Alliance or at the LHR T5 Aspire Lounge etc should not be posted here.

LOUNGE OFFERS/REQUESTS: Requests are in BLUE: Meetups are in SIENNA

If an offer/request is taken, please consider to [strike]STRIKE[/strike] it rather than taking it down, but it isn't necessary.

Some might be willing to guest, as we have mentioned during the discussion. If I were at LHR I would, but alas, I am there on Friday.

I don't know who added that "rule" to the wiki but I don't think there was a definitive agreement on that point. Unless I missed it?

Even the generous people who have offered to host other FTers are not actually required to host QC's daughter. That's up to them, no problem in my opinion either way.

This request was not meant as an offence to anyone. I am sure people can make their own decisions if they wish to guest someone or not.
If only I could have been able to make the journey it would not have been an issue.
However, as she is flying with BA I considered this to be a sensible request. If I had off had time to make her a member of flyertalk for the sake of asking I would have. It was a last minute request.

I thank those who have had the sense to think around this and offer had they been there.

No need for that kind of dig at those who have expressed legitimate concerns.

This thread has got increasingly popular and is almost a default oneworld meet up thread (there is actually ones on the CX and AA boards for example). The idea that people are putting up requests for family members and friends obvioulsy adds to that - and is worse when it isn't explicit until you PM them (you have at least said it is for your daughter).

FT is a community and you get out what you put in, so that is why it slightly irks people that non-FT'ers who have never contirbuted anything would get something out of the community in a lounge meet up. Bearing in mind that this isn't the first time you have requested for your daughter perhaps she should join FT?

I am not saying you absolutely shouldn't have posted your request, just that you need to understand why others have picked you up on it and that they have legitimate concerns.

Having met QC when we were both passing through LHR (and had both offered to guest others in on this thread, hence we turned I into a meet!) I am fairly sure she didn't mean this as a dig but more of an expression of gratitude to those who would have offered to guest her daughter in if they'd been at LHR today.

Ah, ok. I did read it as such, but it might just be my interpretation.

It is clearly a contentious issue and I wouldn't want to discuss it again at length. I just wanted to post to put the other side of the argument and show there are legitimate reasons for that rule in the wiki.

REQUEST 12-JUN-2015 / 14:00-18:00 / LHR / T5 Any / CAlex x2

I am travelling through LHR on 12JUN with 2 kids (4 and 7) and mother-in-law. I land at 13:15 with BA286 and I have ~5hrs until our onward flight BA884. It would be great to spend the time in the lounge, but I can only guest one of them. Last year they allowed me to enter with both kids, after asking nicely about 3 times and eventually promising to keep them in the kids area (which I did).

I am seeking 1 or 2 good Samaritans to guest my mother-in-law and my 7-yr-old son into the F or C lounge at T5 on 12JUN, at ~14:00 or after.

Thank you!

REQUEST 13-JUN-2015 / 11:00-13:00 / LHR / T5 GF/ bsnodin

Will be travelling with 2 colleagues on Saturday, both without status.
I can either guest 1 or dump both (awkward!) so would be fantastic if someone in T5 GF could help out!

Last edited by bsnodin; Jun 11, 2015 at 9:24 am Reason: Wrong date! Could someone please amend the Wiki! Thanks

I have kids almost exact same age, Its worth noting that near gate 6 there is a soft play area. Whilst it wont pass 5 hours it should keep them entertained for half an hour!

It was added by Stez when he updated the Wiki with etiquette details a couple of months ago, after the posts regarding some people being overly persistent.
