  Finally one I should be able to make

  Fingers crossed I can actually get a ticket 🙂

  Is it only 10 years? Feels like it’s been longer.
  Congrats team! I look forward to checking in every morning for years to come.

  I sadly can’t make it as I’m in Iceland for summer solstice. Hope you all have a blast.

  Fingers crossed I can get a ticket, do people reveal their pseudonyms in person?

  • Froggee says:

    24 May24 May 08:30

    Sorry – people use pseudonyms here?

    We have historically offered name badges to guests but purely as a way of breaking the ice. Up to you if you take one or indeed what name you put on it.

      I wonder if anyone would own up to being “Paul the destroyer?” 😂

        Shame, I was looking forward to meeting Paul Pogba

    Congratulations on the milestone HfP. Been a fan for some years and hope to make my first HfP event. Exactly my thought re etiquette linking person in front to the poster! What to/not to do?

  ‘As you have probably heard by now…Barclaycard have launched….’ – no, I’ve been on a trip to Mars for a few months, literally the only place news of the launch had not yet got to. 🤣

  Are the HFP Private Dinners set for a return too?

  • Rhys says:

    Nothing in the pipeline yet but I hope so!

      The one we did pre-covid was a trial, which was due to lose a lot of money until Reward Flight Finder jumped in as a sponsor at the last minute. The only way it works, financially, is to find a sponsor looking for some small scale market research. This would allow us to run a 3-course dinner with wine etc for, say, £50 at a top London restaurant with the sponsor covering the (substantial) extra cost, with say 6 people per table inc one from the sponsor.

      Few people actually understand the cost of private dining. Canapes for St Pancras are £4 each, for example – if you eat 10 during the party, that’s a £40 bill we’ll get (which luckily Barclaycard will pay). Obviously the £4 includes waiter costs etc.

      Me too – that was fun!

      BJ – are you able to make the party?

        Not many make it down from EDI l think, thus the call for a north of England Scotland one. Great to see some of them sometime in the future.

  OMG! 10 Years! I can’t believe it! It really doesn’t feel that long, but then I’ve been on Flyertalk for 22 years and it doesn’t feel that long their either!

  Thanks to Rob and team for highlighting (and sourcing!) some fantastic deals over this time.

  Here’s to the next 10!

  • Rob says:

    24 May24 May 10:15

    Yes, it’s scary. I think my Flyertalk registration date is 2004.

  If I bring my Barclaycard rejection letter do I get free entry ?

  • Rob says:

    24 May24 May 10:09

    No, but you can personally ask the head of Barclaycard UK to reconsider (or, in your case, for a job 🙂 )

      I’ve now uploaded all documents to Barclaycard 4 times and still I get we can’t use the income documents I’ve uploaded so it looks like my account will be cancelled next week.

  Wow, a whole decade now – congratulations!

  Sadly no chance of making it down to London for a weeknight but enjoy!

      @Polly I think that was Amex drinks. Hopefully we can sort an Edinburgh one sometime 😝
