V-Flyer

Seq 1, third time running.

the advantage of having a home in the US and flying on a friday

You should get yourself some luggage tags with that on !

That's a shame, looks like we will miss you by a day

Congrats! I fully intend to try and achieve this great result on one of my flights this year! We shall see!

Sorry, I don't understand - what does seq 1 mean?

It's a little code printed at the bottom of the boarding pass and tells you where you are in the line of checking in.

So SEQ1 means you were the first person to checkin for that flight!

A coveted achievment for some and a desired achievement for others! (me!) :0

Don't forget, it also entitles you to a free bottle of Champagne once on board. Just show any member of crew your boarding pass and say the magic phrase: "I'm SEQ 1, and I claim my free Champers!".

i shall tell the FSM that no less a Vflyer legend than mdv says so !! i still think i may be waiting all flight though

I managed to get SEQ 1 on both legs of a flight to GLA recently (not quite the same as VS i know). FLYBE allow online check in 36 hrs before departure so as I was only going for 24 hrs I checked in for the return leg before even leaving !

Now I want a SEQ1 even more! LOL

Atleast vflyer will get some exposure to CC who haven't got a clue what it is yet!

I expect a rise in the number of disruptive pax reports on VS flights on aviation herald now !

'As the pax was escorted off the plane they were heard to shout 'I am SEQ1 and I demand my Champers''

No!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously??? Does that include online check in???

Thanks to you lot when printing my boarding pass out to LHR the other day I felt quite gutted I was seq 18.
I work on checkin and see these silly little numbers everyday yet when it came to mine it was all different!

Yes. I guess these days you can only get SEQ1 by doing OLCI.

I have a file full of online printed boarding passes and where I have got SEQ1, I keep a copy...sad or what...lol

I was checking in for my EI flight to Vienna last week. Dead on the dot I clicked on to the "Check-in" button to be told it was not yet open. Refreshed the page a couple of times with the same message and finally scored......

was that online, or by mobile check-in
just wondered if mobile is faster

Well, I am mortificated (a word I have just invented and it seems appropriate).

I have just looked through previous holiday files. I have found one of our two boarding cards ( and, sadly, the only one I kept) from our holiday two years ago and it is ....

....seq2.

What does this mean? Was the other one seq3? Or, bugger, was it the Holy Grail?

Oh, woe is me.

Ye gods, I'm already finding myself wondering about trying to do this now

It was on-line.

Actually when I went to check my booking a bit before OLCI opened, I noticed a new feature on the EI website which allowed Advanced OLCI of 30 days and 30 hours before the flight (ordinary OLCI starts 30 hours before departure with EI) I looked at it, thinking I would try it but when I logged on it was only available if I had selected and paid for a seat. Given that this is free once OLCI opens apart from exit rows and the first five rows and that OLCI was due to open within the hour, I declined.

It is perfectly possible that the first three before me had chosen that option but it takes away the fun of the chase )
