BA very well done.
Just completed an outbound segment to Dubai ex Dublin with my wife and four month baby.
Crew on the DUB-LHR flight fantastic and helped put my wife and I at ease. Transferring through T5 was easy.
Crew on the LHR-DXB flight, where good but the excellent point came when an hour out from Dubai a crew member came down with a message to say special services would be there to meet us coming off the flight.
I am very surprised they did this and can't really figure out why. There where at least 2 other babies of a similar age. One of whom was in CW with us, parents had gold tags and they didn't get SS. I am just a very run of the mill gold but being whisked through the airport on arrival really made things so much easier.

This has been happening for at least two years.
It would appear BA have purchased a number of Marhaba Arrival Service places, either per day or per flight.
They appear to be handed out by status, therefore if there are very few elites on board you stand a decent chance of being selected

I haven't had it before and from the gold tags floating about I am sure there where more important people than me on the flight.

I should point out that it was directed to my wife, daughter and I.
