Jaunted

On the way back from work yesterday, we found a 20-minute line of people waiting to land at St Lucia's Hewanorra Airport. It was harder than it looked! There's lots of curves where you have to steer the plane through the hoop, and then flick the landing gear down as quickly as possible.

We got 43% accuracy—pretty bad, right? Not so much as we came fourth in our 15-minute segment. We were vanquished by a 60%er, which apparently was a very high score. The member of cabin crew we spoke to got 23% when he first tried. That’s another great thing, by the way—the stand is staffed by BA “ambassadors”—workers from across the company. Our delightful cabin crew member, Simon, was so excited about the competition that he was doing this during his annual leave.

If you can’t get to London, never fear; you can play for a holiday (ie not just flights) to the daily destination on BA’s Facebook page instead.

But if you can, then they’re there at Victoria Station 8am-8pm every day until 3 February. Future destinations (they'll change every day) are top secret, but are all long-haul and will be revealed every morning on the Facebook page. Today's is Marrakech, which we guess is technically longhaul, but hopefully there will be better ones as the week progresses.
