Always a great experience being on the Finnair A350 flying between Helsinki and London Heathrow. It might also give me an opportunity for a half-decent kip!

Another chance to experience the Malaga to Helsinki Finnair red-eye on a uncomfortable A320. I could only hope I had time to pick up a Starbucks before my follow-on flight.

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.
