Only 44% so I didn't even made it to the leaderboard.

Who cares, it was economy tickets anyway!

I will actually be in London tomorrow and am thinking of trying to get down there.

Has anyone of the winners found out if it is possible to UUA ??

No upgrades, no Avios, see part of T&C below...

A few of the T&Cs (from my winner's letter ):

3. Only one entry per person is permitted per day and BA reserves the right to wholly disqualify (and withdraw any tickets won) any person who attempts to enter more than once or who is otherwise found to be ineligible.

5. Once a player has won a pair of ticket, they are no longer eligible to win any more tickets for the duration of the seven day competition. [Shame, I was enjoying playing the game! ]

9. ... All flight taxes, fees and charges are included. Tickets cannot be upgraded [boo! ], transferred, sold or exchanged.

10. Flights are subject to capacity controls... BA reserves the right to limit the number of travel seats available on any flight. It is possible that there will be no prize travel seats allocated on a particular service or the flight may be fully booked for prize travel seats even thought other seats are still available in the same cabin.

18. Prize flights cannot be used in conjunction with any Avios programme ....Avios will not be awarded for travel under this promotion.

Clause 10 is interesting. I wonder if seats come from the redemption pool?

Smile Win!

Thanks BApilotinsider for the heads up on this!

I made a special trip to Victoria to participate and won my session today (2 tickets to Sri Lanka) with a score of 57.

Thanks BA! Great promotion and perfectly executed. Had a really nice chat to one of the BA Ambassadors while waiting.

Congratulations! I made a special trip today too, and after the 8.00 leader was something like 67 I decided to wait for 8.15 and came third (at the point I left) with 56. That score would have won most sessions earlier in the week, so there are obviously people getting a bit of practice in!

Thank you to BApilotinsider from Mrs Dark Horse (her especially!) and I.

Now, at the risk of stirring slightly (moi?!), I wonder how the FT reaction might have been different had the promotion been at Paddington for LHR destinations?

I also wonder how little that matters to BA, given that this was clearly aimed at a very different target audience to the 'average' FT'er?

Speaking as a longtime fan of BA at Gatwick, I might add...

BA is back at London Victoria this week with another LGW promotion. I didn't have time to stop at the stand but it's in the same place as last year, and I understand BA will be there until Saturday.

My 49% wasn't enough to win

57 this time, third place at that moment (leader had 59). There were pretty high top scores before my round: 63, 73 and 60.
