Waiting to board her as we speak. Pretty late substitution as was an A321 at 6:30 this morning when I OLCI’d & running at least 50mins late so not sure what materialised there but happy to have one final trip.
Edit: Just had a chat to FO on jet bridge who was supposed to be operating the 321 having positioned last night & he had no idea what had happened beyond being told he was now a passenger!

As 767’s on these routes are being replaced by A320’s or A321’s, obviously with less capacity, does this mean that there will be less seats available on these routes? Or will BA squeeze in an extra flight?
I remember those 767’s ex AMS and ex FRA being quite full (if not fully packed).

A great trip on 428/429 today with one of the last two (BZHA) doing the honours, BZHB being the second frame remaining in use for now, slightly turbulent at times but nothing too bad.
Both the flight crew mentioned this being the last 767 service from Amsterdam and also allowed a brief chat with a few of us whilst on stand in Amsterdam.
Cabin crew were also brilliant and made the lack of sleep the night before definitely worthwhile!
The question is... do I book on the last rotation... can I do a b2b... and do I need sleep?

Booked trip on BA428 on Tuesday to get what I thought would be my last BA 767 flight – only to now receive an alert from ExpertFlyer that my BA460 flight LHR–MAD on Sunday has been changed to 767. So looks like I get to fly twice on BZHA this week. It does give me some joy.
However, apart from making my AMS trip rather unnecessary (but at least I got to get on LCYI on the way back to finally add the E170 to my list), it obviously means no CW seat on a 777 to MAD. :-(

My pasta was nice but rather flat as the cabin crew stacked all the meals on the trolley on loaded them onto the trays when we ordered. While it saved time, it did nothing good for the presentation.
