Could somebody please PM me the email address for You First as I'm currently out of the country and want to try and avoid an expensive call to the UK?
Many thanks,

The email states it is a trial for FIRST customers. It doesn't mention that it is only for the select few.
If they were really intent on having it for the select few then they could check when you call against your BAEC number.
I don't see the problem.

I can now confirm that you can book the Cabanas, quite a while in advance, by phoning 'You First'.
I just did so and got a confirmation of that it is booked, for a outbound flight in December. ^

Also just booked a Cabana for Monday afternoon, lady at You First made a quick phone call & called me back 5 minutes later to confirm it was booked.
Very good service. ^
Must remember my tool kit for the AC though.

It isn't to do with worry over whether or not it is a restricted service, even if it is. It is plain and simple inverted snobbery, you feel you are special and you are not about to share that with any of us. This is not Willie Wonka and the chocolate factory and the hunt for the golden tickets. I ask because I am a first class passenger and naturally wish to ease my family through the stressful bits. We are paying good money to BA and they are playing a good game and you have swallowed it hook line and sinker.
I am pissed at BA and will take it through the channels.
Cheers,
Mick

I have made changes to my flights booked in F through the usual channel and received good service, so all is not lost - just phone them up using the normal number, it may even be quicker. ^

You First Trial
I just got to wonder why this is a trail... as opposed to being an offered service in the first place ? (excuse the pun).
Anyway off NYC way in First in 2 weeks. Could a member please PM the number as I don't have the email either.
Regards
J

When you speak to BA "through the channels" if you could be so kind as to ask them to clarify whether the "You First" contact details can be shared with fellow EC members and post back?
Many thanks.

Theories why some people haven't got the email:
1. BA are doing a limited trial and you unfortunately weren't selected for it due to some random factor.
2. Overzealous spam filter somewhere along the line which has eaten your email.
3. You've selected not to receive marketing emails from BA.
4. You don't have any F flights booked during the trial period.
Your BAEC status doesn't seem to affect whether you get the email or not. I've dropped down to Blue and I got the email but I had a F flight booked to return me to the UK the other day. I'd hazard a guess and say my CIV is incredibly low so its not that either.
