Looks like If the flight is over 4 hours and they can justify a "premium fare" it's allowed.

Things have moved on a bit since 2013.. From what I understand it's only allowed if these are the only seats left on a particular flight that is operationally necessary and/or the 'talent' is expected to work as soon as they land on flights over 6 hours.

Had a chat with Motive - nice guy :)

I thought they were doing a TP run as they were out on AY 113 on Saturday (delayed 1 1/2 hours) and back on the AY 108 on Sunday, as I was.

I got impression that DJ John B was an anorak as he goproing the flights and talking geeky to Ulterior Motive...

Loving the Drum n Bass chat - yes do forgive me I once got my genres wrong for Netsky too :)

BarbicanLondon must have been on the same flight as me then back from TLL? Was such a great weekend.

DJ John B has AA ExPlat tag on his bag so not BAEC!

It would appear that I didn't die before I got old. I have no clue who any of these people are. :o

I think Arizona Muse, the model, just left the T5B lounge. No one seems to have given her a second glance...

Helena Bonham Carter just left CCR

If you are in London, she is on the front cover of the Evening Standard and there is an article about her.

Not my cup of tea, but the fashion industry luvvies seem to rave about her. :confused:

While this occurred in 2016 (or earlier), the opening scene of The Grand Tour features Jeremy Clarkson departing for Los Angeles on BA269. Or does it?

Maybe it was a one-off with a stopover in Vancouver? :D

It's quite possible that this scene was filmed before T5 > T3 move in October 2015. The trio signed with Amazon in July that year, so it's not unfathomable.
