Otherwise I'll cancel and forfeit my 25 GBP. Hope not though!


I'd gladly join you, fingers crossed
Sure, keeping my fingers crossed for you
I'm flying back on the Sunday, currently in Flub on the 777, there was a lot of rewards availability a few days ago - keep an eye on it especially from 4am GMT onwards.

EDIT: PARTY PLANE now sorted, 22 on it currently...graphics uploaded to the wiki.

I'm going through the wiki now to see what other flights people mentioned and will update accordingly.

Calendar also updated. (to reflect past A350 flights that went but also to show the 11th morning rotation now confirmed and the next expected morning rotation of next Thursday, the 15th Aug.

Safe travels,
Brilliant. Thanks!

looking forward to the flight- although after a long day in the heat of MAD and a flight to RAK the following day I may just sleep in my suite with a glass of NF Champagne!

Can through TFW, my CCR guest spot is already taken I'm afraid. With that many FTers flying through I guess we'll camp in the GF anyway

Welcome to FT (at least as a poster rather than a lurker)...it's great to see a suite door made you come out of the 'closet' so to speak!

May you have a brilliant time on the FT party plane on Saturday and may we hear more from you once you have, great to have you with us.

I'll take this opportunity to say I have finally caught up to all of the movements today (phew) so wiki updated to this point, including the graphics (and B3rad is included in the PP graphic)...

19 days left, 24 FTers on the party plane now, 10 on the pre-party plane...care to join the MADness?

Wow 24 in J on the 10th, I was going to join but as it’s the last of my Avios stash I’m going hang on for a more substantial trip than a B2B, as fun as it would be.

God help BA if they have to do an last minute aircraft swap to an A321

You might end up only forfeiting £0.50.
I also had only one avios one way booking (15k avios + £25) for MAD A350 flight, which I had to cancel.
To my surprise, when I went to cancel it, cancellation fee was shown as £0.50, and £24.50 was refunded to my card.

Done ^ welcome to the MADness...350 seats for you to choose from!

I'll do a graphic for that flight tonight or tomorrow when I get the chance.

Great to have you on board.

Anyone else? You know you want to...
