BA Open Day returns this summer 6th June
What a shame... was really looking forward to going with the family. Last time we left our twins at home but they are now 6 years old and I know they would love it. Very much doubt we fit the invitation demographics....!

Maybe we could start a BA Open Day guesting thread? (assuming the guesting rules are the same as last time). I will happily volunteer to be placed on the list first

The staff (plus family and friends) day is separate from the customer one, being held on Sunday. The ticket lottery for that opens tomorrow so perhaps we'll learn more about the public one then too.

So, just to clarify the one open to the public will be Saturday 6 June and there is one open for BA staff on Sunday 7 June?

It was a fantastic day out too, as well as a fairly regular flyer, I am also a complete avgeek.

If it is how it was done last time, an email went to everyone in BAEC and it was just first come first served via a link in the email itself. Even meaningless Blues such as myself got one.

If they limit that to shiny card holders, they're limiting their marketing reach, when others might not usually be exposed to those products! It makes sense from a business point of view as well as giving everyone a great day out. Hopefully that's how they do it, anyway!
