FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: JapesUK
Important reminder: please do NOT post guest offers or requests


Recap of the posting guidelines
1) Use this thread to mention you will be travelling through an airport such as LHR T5 on a given time and date. You can also mention non airport locations if you wish. A brief sentence or two will do, but please use this wiki format:
5-MAY-2019 / 17:00-19:00 / LHR T5 / FlyerTalk username / Maybe late arriving due to connections
2) Do NOT mention lounge guesting, hosting or requesting in the wiki or thread. Just say you'll be (e.g.) at T5. In a change to the rules for 2020, you may also mention the lounge you are planning on visiting, but again please do not post guest offers or requests. It will be assumed you are airside unless you say otherwise.

3) Edit the wiki entry if you can, but if you cannot edit it one of the many volunteers here will happily do it for you, just post your information below in the above format, be sure to include date, time and location. You can edit wikis after 90 days and 90 posts.

4) Use Private Messages to fix arrangements and rendez-vous location. One PM to the person mentioned in the wiki only, please, no repeats and definitely no hassling. If you don't get a reply, then that's life, not everyone has the time to attend to FT matters immediately, so try a PM to someone else instead.

Feel free to edit your own entry directly here, or post in the thread below instead and someone will assist. You need 90 posts and 90 days membership before you can edit the wiki.

* Flight cancellation has meant rebooking with a painfully long layover, so I am likely to stretch my legs rather than sit in one place for 7.5 hours! But I would be very happy to meet fellow FTers if any are passing through T5 next Saturday 9th.

I've added this to the wiki, but also gone back a page or so to add info that is still relevant (i.e. in the future!) from firstclassnewbie post #150 and PGberkshire post #145.

I know travel is still down on previous yers, but it nonetheless feels as if this thread is much quieter than it used to be. Have people simply forgot that it exists, or have we become less sociable about meeting new people given the presence of an airborne respiratory virus?

I had forgotten about it for a while. It definitely is much quieter, agreed! All my flights this year-ish have been in but I haven't met up with anyone yet. Shame I'm not flying on the 9th, it'd be nice to see you again!

Likewise, we could perhaps invite lost_in_translation to join us for a kebab too? ;-)

Oh, did you get a preview of the CCR menu items for next month?

Due to a royal cock-up on the part of BA and the fact that I have too much to do to head into London, I will be in T5 GF for the next 14 hours.

FYI currently:
- printer is only working from phones, not laptops
- BA WiFi is down (HAL wifi works, however there are some dead zones within the lounge)

And also:
- The first 5 outlets I've tried do not work
- There was a piece of chipped ceramic in my teapot (?!) that I poured into my cup and nearly drank as I wasn't paying attention to the contents of my cup
- They are out of mushrooms

If you'd like to put me out of my misery join me, feel free to drop me a note.

After an incredibly frustrating 1hr20 in Flight Connections/South security - including witnessing some shockingly poor behaviour from some security guards that left one woman in tears - Im T5 airside for the next 7 hours.

Very happy to meet anyone else who is here, as Im rather bored already!

Meeting-up....

I start flying again in early August, busy period at work between then & Christmas, mainly LHR - Scandinavia and return. 10 flights booked already, so I'll post them up here as I go along. Can't put them on the wiki, I haven't got 90 posts to my name anyway (strange rule??). Look forward to meeting any regular users of ARN/CPH/HEL/OSL lounges (SAS Gold). I'm the guy sitting there with a champagne or a G&T! (or both!!).......

If you have the dates already and are prepared to put them in a regular post, like TedToToe above, one of us with editing rights will be happy to add them to the Wiki for you. It makes our lives easier if people use the same date/Information format for those posts, as we can then simply copy-paste.
