Not good enough. Thanks for providing info. I don't want to hijack the Celebs thread, but just to add, good on you for feeding this back to BA and I hope you get well compensated. Maybe the presence of a celebrity threw them.

Lewis Hamilton, Richard E Grant and David Furnish all in F on last nights’s BA 268 (and an army of Special Services to meet them all on the jet bridge at LHR). Only one of them got all the autograph requests from the crew.

He didn't get a Special Service escort to the plane which surprised me, he was in the Group 1 boarding scrum with everyone else. David Furnish got the full Special Service treatment on boarding, and then Special Service gave me a long "we're sorry we didn't have time to escort you through security" speech while totally ignoring Lewis Hamilton across the aisle?!?

Actor Bill Nighy in the LHR T5 BA Galleries First Lounge during my transit there.
I remembered him from the Underworld Series.

Sorry for the somewhat late report...
Princess Beatrice in 4A on BA177 January 14th.
Mandy Patinkin in the temporary CCR dining area at JFK morning of January 17th. I was sure I would see him again in F on my flight (178) but I didn't, so he was either in J, or wasn't flying BA but they let him in...

Not quite on BA but spotted Willie Walsh and his wife in a restaurant in Barcelona last night.
Seemed very pleasant.

Greg Fisher (the actor who played Rab C Nesbitt) in the CCR now. An extremely pleasant and courteous gentleman. No string vest though!
