If you would like to go to the open day please put your username, number of tickets you may be after, and time you can be there note that I think you have to enter with your offeror so you may need to be flexible. If someone has a spare place on their ticket they can contact you by PM and go from there.

Please do not pester anyone on the thread who has said they would be going - they may not have any spare spots anyway or not want to take anyone.

Please stick to the format: USERNAME - 1000-1300 - X PLACES
If you can be there at any time on Saturday just put ALL DAY instead of a time range.

Surely GGLs will be on the Guest List for the event.

That's why they haven't bothered us with this registration etc.

We just have to walk up and say 'I'm on the Guest List'.

*in denial*

Yes, I'm gutted I havent received an invite!*

BA Ambassadors easily trumps over a GGL/CCR, no?

I am going to just turn up and say I am a BA Ambassador and I am here to em, well, em...................help show/guide folks around

*also in denial*

Seriously though, I wonder if corporate-wage-slave has had an invite?

Well I've had a reply, unfortunately it was none too helpful. I'm sure the intent was there, perhaps they misinterpreted my invitation request as registration?

Dear DAC71,

Thank you for writing to the Club about the British Airways Explore and Discover event.

To secure your tickets for the British Airways Explore and Discover event, you can go to:

If you have any questions about your registration, please contact our team on [email protected]

I hope this information is useful to you.

Please let us know if we can help you with anything else.

If I was BA's marketing department, I'd be recording the BAEC numbers of those who have not been invited but have entered their details into the site. I'd offer them a chance to bid for the final 25 or 50 places with the highest bidders getting places and all monies going to their Flying Start charity.

No additional cost, some good PR for BA. Chris Evans would be proud.

Are you sure? I like many others get the error message if I try to register. I assumed that the link is to confirm you wish to go if you've had an email invitation.
