Another Tier Point run! This one took me to Helsinki overnight, and I really mean overnight literally in the airport – I hadn’t done that before.

At Non-Schengen Arrivals, we jogged to Passport Control, to see what sort of impact the Ryanair flight arriving ahead of us would have.

I woke at 3:45am. with a bit of a jolt. My phone alarm was on full blast; my watch alarm is so much more relaxing. Mental note for next time!

Looking forward to getting home after a tiring first Sofia B2B. I can't believe I have another 7 of these trips planned!

My first B2B at Sofia since Bulgaria moved into the Schengen zone. It was a new experience and was subject to some risk!

A very early arrival at Heathrow T3 for my first flight to Sofia in this series of trips. Breakfast tends to be a highlight and certainly a talking point on this occasion!

The start of my first B2B to Sofia in this series of flights, but what an ungodly hour to get things underway? Alarm set for 2:30am and on the road by 2:45am.

My daft octet of trips commence today. These were all constructed using the old cheap £210 return fares in Club Europe which earned 160 TPs a pop.

Is it a daft idea to book eight B2Bs to Sofia over 29 days? I guess we will find out!
