I'm taking advantage of a cheap (£91) deal in economy (shudder
). Perhaps some of those up front will send down some scraps from their tables to those less fortunate wretches at the back 
Otherwise, is a lounge meetup planned in MAD?I had a good wander around the cabin on Thursday and the Y seats did look a bit cramped, but we'll see...

I'll update the wiki graphics later this evening, thanks for the updates, great to see...I need to spend some time with the wife or she'll start to think I'm online dating!
Hope the evening rotation tonight is fun, safe and enjoyable for all involved.
BTW: those on the 464 yesterday must have left quite the impression as a cabin crew member mentioned there were some 'frequent flyers from a forum' (in a good way)... ^

Flight out on the 777 was pleasant this afternoon in club but it was very busy. I think an earlier Madrid flight had been cancelled so this obviously picked up those stranded.
Looking forward to the A350 home tonight ��

I flew the A350 back from Madrid on Thursday (1055 departure). Crew in CE very chatty and helpful. Club Suite itself though is a bit of a tight squeeze to get into. Already a fair few scuff marks on the plastic fascia by the door where passengers are accidentally hitting there feet against as they enter or leave the suite. I found the seat itself really good and the suite a big improvement on the old ting/yang arrangement. Aisles are very narrow though- too narrow to be able to pass someone without encroaching into another passengers Club Suite. Only 1 forward galley for 14 rows of club. Wouldn't want to be at the back and waiting for my drink/meal on a flight to Dubai or Toronto. 3 toilets in club and each very spacious.
