Indeed! A rather surreal afternoon tale involving identically named superheroes who could transport afar many people in very convulted ways for very little.

Despite the whole service in general working great, I just wondered if anyone else has had any issues with the GGL recently? For example anything promised that they let you down on, or anything that GGL did and someone else undid, or any big inconsistencies between what different individuals can/will do. I will not go into more detail here except that I still have what I consider to be an unresolved issue. If any other GGL folk want to PM me, I would be happy to (and it may be useful to) share information.

There is a subjective element, and I too know of cases where <3000TPs were enough. See my earlier post in this thread. I simply don't think it's rules-based. A bit like the old Amex Centurion card - no firm rules, so it's not like you could go and "demand" one.

Sorry nothing negative to say from this end so far. I tend to deal directly with my agent at the moment unless they are closed or it’s a miles issue. I am very well looked after by the BA team and think it would be unfair of me to comment otherwise. I just hope I make it on next year
Keep up the good work folks

So has there been any new additions to the GGL over the past few months ??
I think I am in for another year although have not been advised either way. The 3000+ stage was passed ages ago so I guess im safe.

I got my TLV F seats booked for October 2008 by waiting up past midnight on the day the availability opened. Of course you do have to plan these things a little bit in advance.
I'm now well north of the GGL entrance criteria, although will now not hit 4,500 TPs after all this year, as MHL's been a little bit sick and is grounded from long haul (but thankfully not shorthaul) flights while he gets checked out by those nice men in white coats.
My problem is that I've only met the entrance criteria for one year, so am not expecting a nice letter from Sarah Keyes any time soon. I was thinking of asking the executive assistance people, but don't know if they'll be able to help with this.

How do we get to know if we are on the GGL for another year ?
Should I take it that as my points are equal to last year I am through the door ?
I called them to ask twice this week but gave up after waiting 15-20 minuets on hold. I presume there are now thousands of new members using the service making it busy.
Has anyone joined or left ?
