Does one of tomorrow's flights now officially carry the 'Party Plane' mantel? Really sorry for everyone who was disappointed today – can you get on to any of tomorrow's flights? There is plenty of availability...

I got automatically rebooked on 457 tomorrow morning. Seat by the toilet, as forward cabin is full. I was able to check in on app but on a website it tells me to confirm change and then doesn't go through. Not sure if I want to spend half of the evening on a phone to BA to confirm I'm ok to fly, if I checked in via app but not confirmed change on website.

Interesting...from the video posted up thread it was quite clear the go-round was initiated relatively early in the approach....certainly before Twickenham rugby ground hoves into view out of the window. So perhaps not a weather related go-around, but a technical one??

That's such a shame for everyone on the evening rotation today 
I wonder if tomorrow mornings rotation will stay a 777 - I doubt the evening one will, I can see me being busted back down to an 319. Ah well, still get a little trip to Madrid.
