Same here, and that opened up RFS seats on the return. I got assigned 1A automatically on the way back 
I'll add myself to the wiki. EDIT: Actually there's no lists anymore, so I won't.
(Sorry @BotB you might have to change the graphics for that one, I'm not a GGL, just a lowly Gold
)

) No worries, I'll update the wiki with the latest round of additions/changes. There are still some flights listed on there in list form (including mine) as they didn't yet have 3 people which is the criteria for an FT mini-DO and for a graphic...although the waiting time for graphics to be changed for standard golds is longer than for GGL's you'll understand! 
OK, please add 3 to flight 464 tomorrow Aug10. looks like we will do the 464/465 turn!

please PM if anyone can guest 1, 2, or all 3 of us into the GCL?
we each have BA Gold cards but nothing beyond that...
we're crazy Americans who have flown yyz-tpa-iah-scl-eze-gru-gig-gru-bog-yyz-ewr-yyz-zrh-led-dme in the last 6 days. we don't know how we are getting to LHR tomorrow. hopefully not direct
In a lounge or onboard, ask us about the last party plane/meet up we were on.... and the subsequent consequences.
PS;: can someone print up or at least bring enough blank stickers/name tags in case anyone wants to list their FT username?

The one I'm in is usually the best seat regardless of number! If it is still free, not sure it can be called the best seat
(10 A K are good for wing engine views and a nice location, away from bassinets and close to the club kitchen and loos but not beside them! )Enjoy, all of the flights tomorrow are going to be something as the weather, holidays, party planes and such mix...what a glorious cocktail...hope it doesn't have a nasty hangover! Wishing all those tomorrow a great flight. ^

I’m now all checked in for Party Plane tomorrow and the return on Sunday. Seq025 and Seq001.
Looking forward to 10K. Then to decide where to sit on the return.

From the dedicated seat thread for the A350: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/brit...on-thread.html
Row 1: A K have two windows
Row 2: A K offset windows mean less than 2 full windows at seat
Row 3, 4: A K have one window only
Row 5, 6: A K offset windows mean less than 2 full windows at seat
Row 7: A K have one window only
Row 8: A K offset windows mean less than 2 full windows at seat
Row 9, 10: A K have two windows (10 A K have great views of the wing/engine)
Row 11: A K have one window only (and great views of the wing/engine) Closest to door 2 if that is used to disembark.
Row 15: A K have two windows
Row 16: A K have 2 full windows at seat, one window has a part view of the engine.
Row 17: A K have one window only
I'll do a wiki update now as well...

There were empty seats in CE today on the 464. Customer Service manager was going round finding all the Gold members in ET and moved them into Club to experience the new suites! So I was lucky enough to get club today and tomorrow (as booked) too . So perhaps you'll get that treatment too.
Seems like the WT+ cabin is being used for staff to relax and heard them going around showing each-other different things to get familiar with.

18th now showing as A350 on all four flights. £90.44 returns available.
Good luck on the party flight tomorrow. I hear service in CE is clunky as crew get used to things. Food served but only time for one drink....
