OP-Up'd to F AUH-LHR - along with at least 6 others, but many people were moved around in WTP/CW too.
Not bad seeing as I'd paid for WTP!

Nice little bump into 1A today. Admittedly only CE back from GIB, but was quite a nice surprise - I discovered it when I was printing my boarding pass in the lounge, having already appropriated crisps and coke for the Y seat. Though these turned out handy - the trip back from Heathrow took longer than the flight, via national express (excellent), a late train, and bus replacement services.
First time I've had the new CE hot food. The prawns with rice and spinach in CE is very nice. Tasty, though lamentable presentation.

On the BA460 to MAD which is on the 777. Originally selected exit seat at 37K at time of booking. Able to select 22K at T-72 which is WT+ exit seat. SMS this morning asking me to check in hand baggage as flight busy, which I didn’t do. Refreshed app in lounge to find I’ve been moved to 13G which will be a CW seat. Hoping that FLUB will open up and they take pity on me-just to try out the First product for two hours and twenty minutes!

Nice one last night LHR - PHL WTP to CW with CW being half empty so service onboard was fabulous. Seat assignment changed in lounge at 90mins prior to flight.
Probably helped being booked in CW on return on Thursday. Nice stress relief after being on phone to BA US Customer Service at midnight Saturday booking return portion at +355 in CW for our trip to St Lucia on a 241 redemption...now that's stressful being in a queue for 35 mins!!!!

My 13A to 1A seat change ~24 hours before departure wasn’t quite the upgrade I had thought it might be. I was flubbed rather than upgraded to F. More than happy though, no jumping over people to get out during the night, more space etc. It’s better than I paid for!

LHR - SEA March 11th (BA49), took my seat in WTP, and just before push back the CSM asked would you rather sit in Club? It looked like he had picked out about 4 or 5 people from WTP I assume all golds based on bag tags.

BA172 JFK-LHR yesterday, was upgraded from Y to J around 6 hours before the flight. Actually was thinking about purchasing an upgrade to PE, so result!
Not sure why it happened though, as the flight appeared to be only half full an I'm a lowly Silver. Thanks BA!

Oh come on, the bed is an absolute beauty. I've only done one overnight F, but honestly I've never slept as well on a plane (the red-eye from LAS to JFK the night before may have helped though...)
