I’ve enjoyed my first significant trip in over 18 months: Using Verifly to manage all of the covid-related requirements worked really smoothly and airlines were happy to review the app during check in. Wearing masks all through my flights was a real chore. I experienced the new BA Club World suite for the first time […]

Even though I emailed the valet team the previous day, my car wasn’t prepared for me at T5 M&G, so I was walked to where it had been stored.  No apparent issue with the car considering the alarm went off on the day I dropped it and the window was reported as not being closed […]

When I got to T7, I checked in with BA who gave me new boarding passes.  The AA boarding passes won’t work with TSA Pre-Check for some reason, even though the TSA Pre-Check isn’t much to talk about in T7.  I’ve never understood why they don’t implement it properly.  Security was a joke as usual, […]

That special place is of course Starbucks in the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT).  When I got there the queue was enormous and the staff seemed to be working really slowly.  I thought I would end up using all of the available 2 hours (before my next flight) queueing for a coffee! Luckily things seemed […]

I ordered an Uber at 5:30pm – I always get to the point of thinking I may as well get on my way.  Why wait any longer?  Glad I did.  The Uber was fine and got me to the airport at around 6pm.  I headed to AA check in since I couldn’t check in online […]

I woke at around 2am which wasn’t too bad for me.  Earliest Starbucks to open is 4am and is the one I have visited a few times, normally on a walk to Diamondhead.  That was the first planned event for the day.  This was my rest day so I needed to take it easy!  😊 […]
