He’s a little shy but we felt it is an appropriate time to introduce everyone to Little Ted. He’s been travelling with us for four years and always gets into our photos, but to date he has been low key when it comes to social media. The thing is, he made such a hit with the BA staff today that we thought it was time to introduce him and share the photos with you.
The crew on the flight from Heathrow to Seattle were so taken by him that they took him to visit the cockpit and meet the Captain and First Officer, tour the First Class lounge and they even made a Superhero Ted outfit for him while he was away from us. They also showered him with a range of gifts and gave him his own travelling logbook.
I was a big hit with Customer Services Manager Shelagh
This is me with Simon and Nichola. We are on first names you know
Time to take control of the controls
I am now the proud owner of my Skyflyers logbook and 100 years BA celebration badge. Even my mum and dad don’t have these
So what did Little Ted make of all this fuss? He confided: “I had a super time away from my parents. I think I should travel First Class in future. The BA staff have given me a taste for it.”
Will you grace our travel blog with your presence in future LT? “Hmmm, that depends on what exciting plans my parents have for me. I am new to this social media thing, so it also depends on how many ‘likes’ I get for my appearance today. Do you think they will like me mom?” I’m sure they will love you Little Ted. Goodness, we haven’t even reached the US and he is taking on Americanisms.
Meanwhile his mum and dad had a good trip out, despite the threatened strikes and are much looking forward to their days in Seattle before heading to the west coast and south to San Francisco.

Well, well, well! Such a lucky young man. I had to wait until I was in my 60’s before I was able to travel First Class, jealous such. Looking forward to seeing more of your travels!!
Thanks Diane. Indeed he is lucky. We didn’t even get into First Class. Not long until we see you again. S&J
Well this is very exciting. I think you have a descendant of our Little Bear who used to travel with us when we were all younger! However, we were not as far flung, although I do recall her and her cousin Tessa Bear getting lost briefly at the Needles on the Isle of Wight! I will try and find a photo….
Enjoy your journey and I look forward to hearing all news …

Thanks for your comment Liz. We were just thinking of you today when we visited the largest (or perhaps one of the largest) bookshops in the world – in Portland. It has millions of books but not the Princes in the Tower that you recommended. Best wishes, Sue and John.
