Crikey! I had a feeling this idea would, err, 'fly', and I wasn't wrong. Didn't check this thread for a while and I am delighted with the response!
Amazingly there are still 6 cheap seats bookable on BA.com, so they must have a 'dynamic' curtain
I am sure this trip will prove a success; what better than a 'do' that includes lounges, flying club and european sightseeing/drinking/eating - with tier points and miles to boot eh?! And all for the princely sum of £144 ^
I look forward to seeing you all on the 12th November

A quick reminder, as GregM noticed and posted in another thread, the £144 offer ends today, so anyone else wanting to come along has until midnight to book!

I hope they have enough mint/white headrest covers......

Very good - but then of course it comes as no surprise, given that good yield management seems to be a large part of BA's commercial success.

Outbound J8 C7 D6 I6 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 R9 V0 N0 L9 S9 Q9 O9
Inbound J9 C9 D9 I9 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 R9 V9 N9 L9 S9 Q9 O9
Interestingly, despite all the bookings on the return journey, the availability has not changed at all. Outbound was up and down like the Syrian empire.
On the inbound, I can see that apart from 3 of you (who probably had no choice) eveyone has chosen the A and C seats. There are 6 rows of club on the AC side and 7 on the DEF side.
Is that enough info?

However only 3 hours or so for those who are interested last minute before the flight goes up £100.

I'm a newbie and a bit of lurker so pls excuse me, but I've taken the plunge and booked this for a shade under £145. Of course no decent seats left but hey it's only 2 hrs. I'm just a silver so if someone feels so inclined to 'invite' me to join them in the F lounge I would be ever so grateful. I work in the wine trade and so could really bore everyone to tears about champagne. See you all soon.

There are quite a few Gold's to go around, I don't envisage any problems!
Welcome aboard - glad you could make it in this, the 11th hour!
I'll add you to the list!
