P.S. the images are not editable, they are effectively a picture so only option for those reading this and wanting to join any flight that already has such a graphic (picture) is to put the flight number and your name before/after the image in the wiki and I'll see that and add you when I get a chance. (or post in the thread as bisonrav has done.) ^
While this does mean I am the sole person with the power to edit the images and the contents, and is far more power than any one mere mortal should have, I try not to let it go to my head!
Safe travels everyone, anyone else? 18 days after today left only, now 25 people on the party plane!
EDIT: wiki up to date to this point (calendar and graphics for the meet-ups)

I made a few of the crew aware of the 'Party Plane' this coming Saturday, but none of those I spoke to will be onboard.
They will however pass the message/warning onto their colleagues!

Not a chance, at least champers, on the 787 party plane it ran out before everyone was served in CE and there weren't as many in CE on that plane! Food should be sorted, but can't wait to hear the status wars that go on about not getting first choice as one of the 20 Golds on board! 
I really hope they don't have to substitute a 319 in for the A350....

Can't directly help, hope someone else may be able to meet up with you and share a drink (regardless of where)...have you checked if anyone is in T5 around the time you are on the 'normal' meet up thread?

Thank you! Managed to move my F seat to K window before it was nabbed on my return.
Interesting, they seem to have populated all of the A350 flights for next week up to the 17th (inclusive). The two morning rotations are confirmed now. (15th and 17th Aug). I'll update the calendar to reflect that. ^^
Thanks for the kind words, glad you like them. ^ As to Espresso, a good question. In some BA planes in F they have the ability to do a Nespresso Espresso, not sure if the A350 has that or not...from pictures of the rear galley they don't but then again they don't serve the CW cabin from there...maybe someone can check that tonight or in the next days and report back. A good question (I'd love that if they do offer it).
My pleasure, although no one is showing as flying from T5 on that day, it sometimes happens that last minute plans or those that do not want to post their movements have contacted me and we've shared a drink and a laugh. YMMV, but never hurts to try. If someone knows you are around you may get the invite. Have a great flight in any case. ^
