Will add you to the graphic as well in a few minutes. Welcome to the MADness ^
The expert flyer seat map for the 465 PARTY PLANE is as follows: (curious why 1, 8, 15 and 16 E are blocked...surely no seat blocking for golds in suites? (great to see BA filling up the cabin but so much for the A321 loads!!)
Back in WT the map looks like this (WT+ blocked for crew as posted elsewhere)...Interesting that no bassinet seats are taken
A question from me for those that have done the long day layover in MAD...did any of you book a day room in the end? I've seen the Hilton and Pullman are available but wondering if anyone has done that yet and if so, how was it? Thanks in advance!
I'll update the wiki and graphics / calendar to this point now, safe travels to all those on the flights today, enjoy the MADness....

Landed earlier, and with the winds it felt like we were on one of the airline..scary landing....videos.
Just transfered to T5 now and headed to first wing security.
Is anyone able to guest one or more of us into the Concorde room? Mostly to say I've been there

Has to be done....
It's now:
hours until the 464 departs...people of FT, prepare your livers and start your beverages of choice...we're expecting turbulence from here on in so best if you buckle up, it might get rough...

@allturnleft - Great A350 go-around photos. Glad the skilled BA pilots didn't scratch up our bird for this afternoon/evening.
My son was watching other landings earlier from the new Hilton Garden Inn T2/3. Unfortunately we couldn't find ATC audio. Is there a feed here (we use liveatc.net in the US)?
Currently in the Galleries first lounge with my family on the first couch immediately after 1st wing's security checkpoint. We can guest in two more besides the one FTer I promised via PM.
Though I may have to consider taking a piece of cardboard to make into a sign in front of the CCR saying please guest me.. That wouldn't cheapen BA's product at all, right?
