Sorry to resurrect this old thread. pJr has his first flight in a couple of weeks, and I wondered whether the log books are still available? I couldn't see them for pre-order online, and I keep forgetting to look/ask onboard.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Don't know if they are available on every aircraft, but yes, still around. Some were being handed out on a JFK-LHR flight I took a few weeks ago.

I think that's probably why it's best to use the BA log books, they may not know you are 37 (or whatever it is). There is one permanently youthful flyer on BA who has found some way of collating all is log books into one, via a professional bookbinder. He thereby gets away with it, because the captains flick back through the entries to see the names of those who trained and worked with them. "Goodness, there's old Biffo, last I heard he was shacked up in Thailand running a fish farm".

They'll certainly do a cockpit visit for her if you ask the CC. Usually easier at the end of the flight but occasionally possible beforehand too. Depends on how the preflight checks are going etc.
The log books are a bit hit and miss - they don't seem to be able to be pre-ordered as far as I was able to tell - you just have to take pot luck as to whether there are any aboard your flight. Which is somewhat unsatisfactory. I have one for my 20m old but it has zero entries in it yet (and he's done something like 12 flights) as they never had any when he was flying, but I managed to score one when on a trip on my own a while back.
So when I get time I am going to write the details of the earlier flights in at least for posterity, even if the skippers haven't been able to sign them.
Good luck

Priceless
The answer is - as everyone has said - yes. What you should do - if you can - is get a photo of your daughter for the front as it personalises it perfectly. I'd get it to the CSD/Purser/SCM as soon as possible, particularly on short flights as the crew may be full steam ahead and not go on the Flight Deck much. Ask the crew if you want one.

Mini-so3003 has his first ever flight this weekend (UK domestic) - chances of getting a logbook for him ex-GLA (to LCY)? Returning from LHR if that makes any difference! He has a few long hauls coming up later in year too if no luck on domestics.

I don't know about domestics but baby thecoogan got his just over a month ago on his first flight to VIE out of LHR without a problem. CC always seem to return the logbook before the flight lands. He has two BA long haul coming up and 4 other flights on different airlines (haven't decided if I should get all flights logged or just BA).

I asked on an LHR-AMS last week and the crew were very happy to dog one out of the black folder. Its seen better days, but its now ready wrh the rest of his travel gear for when we go.

I think it's been replaced a loooong time ago. I'm sure my wings are sitting in a drawer somewhere along with my Pan Am and TWA equivalents. Would love to know where as I can't for the life of me locate them.

Managed to get one yesterday for mini-so3003
Check-in and lounge staff had no idea what I was talking about; GLA-LCY crew knew what I was referring to but didn't have any on board; LHR-GLA had some and made the first entry in what will hopefully become a long log of flights
