Tier Point Run to Sofia in Jan 2024

This is another installment of my series of TP runs to Sofia. In June, July and Dec of 2023, I did a number of trips out to Sofia, just to collect TPs. There was another opportunity in Jan 2024 to collect more cheap TPs, so here I am!

The Sofitel is the place to be when staying at Heathrow. It's not cheap, but it's so convenient. It's also got a decent selection of restaurants on site.
