Rebooked for 464/465 on the 25th. Which as others have probably already noted also happens to be the BA anniversary date so probably an interesting day to travel (it was the day of the abortive 747 domestics).

Great to see the latest round of MADness...thanks for posting, I'll update the wiki this afternoon. ^
Welcome, the 25th seems very popular today! ^ You may want need an FT handle change after your A350 trip? 
(I'm so having to tell myself to behave...Desperately want to post that this person was me and let the rumours fly! 
It isn't for the record...)
Nicely done, sounds like a very sensible plan to enjoy the food, weather and lovely new aircraft. ^^
Heh, you did tell her that the second ticket wasn't actually meant for her didn't you? Enjoy! Welcome to the party! ^ Hope you (both) have a brilliant time!
and
^ Thanks, I'll update the appropriate wiki bits this afternoon. ^
Safe travels everyone...I'm starting to get my own anticipation ramping up now as well...looking at the seat map, I'm currently in the aft CW cabin for my 465 return tomorrow, still undecided whether to stay there and try it out or go back to row 1/2...
It isn't for the record...)A quick update - booked on both the 456 and 464 on 25th August (need to decide if I can face an early start!) and 465 return on 26th August (found an avios sat today). Booked one night at the Axel hotel for Sunday night so hopefully two days of sun and some, vino, tapas and Spanish chorizo ;-p

Done it on 11th... short walk to the transfer security which was empty and very quick at this time of the day, then you're go down the escalator and arrive next to Iberia lounge. Had enough time for a drink and a bite, then boarding started. Short walk back to the gate and back on-board.

I enjoyed my trip on 464 yesterday. Apologies if my 9 month year old bothered anyone but the club suite does make a good play pen with the door closed and the bed flat! I’m big fan of the smaller cabin at the back.
My only complaint would be that it was a bit warm for me. Hopefully my flight back on Saturday will be cooler.

glad you enjoyed the flight, the playpen comment gave me a good chuckle
