My flight to Dallas was scheduled to depart from Gate 5 at 2:30pm, and by this point I was very much looking forward to completing the leg, checking into a hotel room, and finally getting some proper sleep.

Over the course of my many walks around airports on this trip, I’d noticed a common theme: they all seemed to be in a constant state of change — perpetually being refurbished, extended, or reimagined.

Gate 148 turned out to be the perfect place to arrive — without question. It did take a little while for the airbridge to be attached, but once it was, I was first off through door 2L.

I was invited over to the First Check-in desk at counter 9 in The First Wing (TFW). I asked the agent to check my passport and then see whether she could change my seat assignment on the LAX–JFK flight.

It was great to see James at home that morning. He’d stayed over the night before on his way to an all-day business meeting in Chipping Norton.

I was first off the aircraft, heading straight up the airbridge from door 2L. Gate 409 turned out to be very conveniently located for border control, which was a welcome bonus at the end of a long day.

I arrived at Hamad International Airport just after 11am. I was hoping to find an AA agent that might be able to change my seat on the LAX-JFK flight, after some favourable seats had opened up.

I had been looking forward to wandering around Doha and along the Corniche that morning. There was plenty to see, and it was great to be out walking alongside the locals.
