Should I stay and enjoy October magazines in Y or go to C and listen to miles and points höpöhöpö

I received the same message. I think I'll stay in Y and enjoy enough champagne and food at the lounges.

HEL - LHR got upgraded. Could be worse.

EDIT: Seems like 10 seats are still not yet taken in J on the flight to LHR.

I've been waitlisted for upgrade (with voucher) since Oct already.. How did you get the upgrade? At least there is no quota left according to online tool.

And sent PM to you about tomorrow.

On AY839 there are still J4 C4 D4 I4 for sale. In the seat map there are still 8 seats unoccupied in C.

On AY996 there are still J4 C4 D4 I4 for sale. In the seat map there are still 19 seats unoccupied in C.

Just keep asking tomorrow at the checkin, at the gate...

The pre-party has begun at the suite on 10th floor of Quality Arlanda airport hotel. 10 ms after I announced the minibar was complimentary, gwaigwai dived head first into it and raided it like there was no tomorrow.

Will you semi-ARN-lovers (who are flying in tomorrow) hit the lounge or will we see you at gate?

Note of advice on your excursion to the BA lounge, dine in the CX one instead as the BA lounge has a poor hygiene rating.

Of course. No eating there. Only take away salads from there.

The CX lounge may be new and all, but only the BA lounge has a written statement saying it is OK to take two teabags in one go.

You can't really compete with such classiness.
