My B2B at Dublin T1 was a piece of cake this morning. As per the recent BA initiative to get Heathrow BA flights away on time, BA pushed back 5 mins ahead of schedule at Heathrow and BA0832 arrived at DUB T1 Gate 204 about 5-10 mins early.

Having not spent much time in San Jose, I was looking forward to a few days looking around. An opportunity to see somewhere new!
