BA is very good at keeping the group of passengers [mod: redacted] sweet.
The remaining majority, it couldn't give a toss about.

So did BA actually share any information that may be of interest to those of us on here who didn't get the golden ticket? Or was it just a lovely schmoozing opportunity for those fortunate enough to have been invited?

It was a great evening. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it and we had great company on our table including the F wine buyer.
Had some very interesting conversations including is a burger a F class dish? The F&B chap from BA would dearly love to remove it which gets my support.
Loved the goody bag as well

For those of us not familiar with such social circles, can you advise what passes for 'frivolities' during the coffee course?
Is that basically 'chocolates' rather than the complimentary slap and tickle i'm picturing it as?

PUCCI GALORE has retired so a walnut whip is about as good as it gets these days.

I suppose it would have been inappropriate to cater for the event using those wonderful BoB offerings from M&S, just to show the GGLs how the peasantry lives?

Luxury! For the optimal effect they should send round a disaffected member of mixed fleet with the world traveller ambient snack basket, offering its delectable assortment of microscopic kitkats.
