Once after crossing the pond on a BA B747 I was allowed to visit the flight deck no problem but the captain said I couldn't take any pics. We had a great time sitting up there chatting but he still didn't let me take any pics. But... why?

If it was post S11, he probably didn't want you to take pics because of the possibility of them getting around and him getting into a lot of trouble.

I send up a data sheet to the pilots on every flight I take. On the form I ask to visit the flight deck after landing, and have never been refused. I have been allowed to take photos on about 90% of my visits (with a 10% success rate when it comes to editing ).

I usually send off an email beforehand for carriers I don't know (for example SQ, and they told me they don't allow flight deck visits, and Air NZ a few years ago, which was fun cause the email was forwarded to the chief pilot for the 767's and he took the flight that i was on, upgraded me and so on. was a bit of a thrill, but a seriously rare experience, about 5 or 6 years ago i think now).
The worst they can say is 'no', so there's no point in not trying! Nick

Thanks again for all the replies everyone!! I'm not flying until March (down to Melbourne for the air show) so I have plenty of time to write some letters
