BAFT being what it is, I'm sure we won't have to wait long for someone to report back.
We don’t have any quite yet, first (G-TTNA) due for delivery to us from TLS to LHR today (10/04). Expect it will go straight into Mx at LHR before commencement into service.

Ah, thanks for the correction, I was a little ahead of myself obviously. My next flights are via LGW, so I'll not be on her anytime soon anyway!

Off topic, but is there a defined moment when an airline officially takes ownership/responsibility? Do BA send a flight crew over to Airbus/Boeing and collect at the factory as it were, or does it get transferred to BA once it reaches LHR, having been flown there by the manufacturer?

Thanks. I clearly need another coffee or three, it didn't occur to me that it would have been discussed before - bit of a fail on my part I'll have a search myself as well.

(And when they do collect it, do Airbus try and upsell the crew on all sorts of extras - stone chip guard, puncture insurance etc )

My FT searching skills are clearly on the blink (I blame the new forum style) but I found this from BA.com: British Airways - BRITISH AIRWAYS TO WELCOME 25TH DREAMLINER

Many thanks, fwiw my own Google-Fu was equally weak and found nothing immediately obvious - I'll also have a read through the arrivals tracker thread when I get a moment, there may be stuff buried in there.

Here is TTNB going through its testing at TLS last week shot by one of my friends, Jonathon Winton.

I see G-TTNA had it's first outing today - BA 502 LHR-LIS and return BA 503.

Was there an FTer on either sector I wonder?

pretty excited, never been on such a new plane.

Would be grateful for confirmation on the (lack of) middle tables in CE.

I fear this forum gives the background BA manager lurkers too many low cost ideas sometimes. A self fulfilling prophecy.

G-TTNA

Travelled from Lisbon to LHR on this tonight. Row 1 was not very different from other LHR A320s. But no centre seat table (just opened up the middle seat table) or video screen. And life jackets have clip fastenings. Did not see the back half of the aircraft with slimline seats.
