My first time flying with anyone to Malaga. I was only interested in connecting to another flight, but could I work it all out in a new airport for me?

Arriving into Heathrow T5, with additional flights still to fit in, I look forward to enjoying a Starbucks. This time I also had to exit from T5 airside using the train.

I can normally rely on BA making me feel at home on the New York JFK to London Heathrow flight. Was it going to be another trip to solidify their reputation?

Flying in First Class with AA on the transcon is normally something to look forward to. The service is normally excellent and the food good. I wondered whether AA would live up to my expectation.

A little sad to be heading back to the UK, but looking forward to seeing the Vickster and the kitties. First leg Tucson to LA.

Ever since getting into iFit and following Yuri Hauswald, I've wanted to visit some of the places in Arizona he rode his bike through. One of those places was Mount Lemmon.
