Whole Upper Deck blocked off BA66 PHL-LHR 28th May
First time I have seen on Expert Flyer all Upper Deck seats on tonights BA66 are blocked off.
Could that be due to Crew sickness and the’ve had to close the cabin and move booked passengers to down stairs? I suspect there will be some unhappy pax tonight if moved from Upper Deck window to centre seat downstairs. Club availability is now zero tonight.

Also showing J0. Perhaps it is a crewing issue which would explain blocking out the whole cabin (rather than simply being reserved).

This must be a technical fault. I was due to be on the BA116 JFK-LHR on this frame last night and the cabin was blocked out and my seat reassigned.
Luckily I was able to move to an earlier flight with a seat on the upper deck.

On that particular sector they could probably fill UD with grateful CWers happy to get no service, no interruptions on a short overnight flight. I'm sure they could provide tea and water on request.

Things are not what they used to be...
When I was left school, my first summer job was loading the catering onto 747's out of PIK for NWA
I use to have to carry the bars (They were large equipement carriers rather than trolleys) to the upper deck via the spiral staircase at door 1... they were heavy and you could only just fit your hand round the containers and had to be careful not to catch your knuckles on the vertical supports of the banister.
H&S would have a fit these days.

On the 116 return on Monday night they informed me at check-in that I needed to move to the main deck. Gave me 17K with 17J left empty - was actually perfect having rarely flown on the main deck i really didn't mind it - higher ceiling and felt like there was better air circulation. 15 minutes waiting for the bathroom however wasn't fun.
