Last week ET to CE, I was on a b2b finishing an ex-AMS ticket so was doing LHR-AMS-LHR. The CSD saw I was going back to LHR on her iPad and recognised me from previous flights. She discreetly told me a different seat to sit in as I boarded.

Second ever opup... 62K to 5A on today's 289! Given that availability was zeroed out and there were 5 seats showing in first, I thought my chances were pretty good. I noticed by checking the app.

Economy to CW

Got upgraded to 1D CDG-LHR last Saturday evening. Was with a friend who rarely flies so gave the upgrade to them. Kinda made me feel good

Whoop!

W to J at the gate - the magic double beep - LHR to DFW July 20th.

My first time flying upper deck on the 747 and it was everything I hoped it would be. Marvelous.

Friday an upgrade from ET to CE on a LHR-BLQ

And then a LHR-HKG from CW to F

I was dreading flying over the busy summer weekend but it turned out great

Pisa to LGW today ET to CE. I checked in using the BA App. At the gate I got the beep and the agent said there was s change of seat. She had no new BP and said it would take a few minutes to sort out a new printed BP. But Mrs Slotski and I did a quick refresh on our phones and the new seat allocations showed up.

We were in row 7 and noticed the curtain went up to row 8. But row 8 were ET and in front of the curtain! Mrs Slotski reckon there was no slider for the curtain but there was a bracket every two rows hence they couldn't put curtains between rows 7 and 8.

BOS-LHR in WT+ and the woman in the seat next to me was approached by a flight attendant just before takeoff, "Excuse me, please grab your bags and follow me."

So close, so very close.

Mrs S, blue, yesterday to BOS, magic beep at the gate to WTP on an avios ticket. HHA-connected to my 27/5 fiasco or just DUT random?

No CW availability at time of booking and she's coming back on the babybus before you all say how poor a use of avios WT is!!
