Does anyone know who to write to at BA to request a jump seat ride? I am travelling to America next month to do some flying and am hoping to get a look at what my future office mite look like! :-)
Any info on what to put in the letter would also be a great help! :-)

Take a letter with you onto the plane, and ask a flight attendant to hand it to the captain. Check out:

Yep, a nice reading letter to the captain (presented as you board) should do the trick. There's no point writing before hand as it's totally down to the side of bed the captain awoke the morning of your flight!
Try not to waffle - keep it short and sharp. I enjoyed a jumpseat ride (complete flight) from Munich to LHR yesterday on a Lufthansa A320, after asking an attendant upon boarding to give a nice little note the captain. Which was nice. . .
Enjoy!
