My first B2B at Sofia since Bulgaria moved into the Schengen zone. It was a new experience and was subject to some risk!

A very early arrival at Heathrow T3 for my first flight to Sofia in this series of trips. Breakfast tends to be a highlight and certainly a talking point on this occasion!

The start of my first B2B to Sofia in this series of flights, but what an ungodly hour to get things underway? Alarm set for 2:30am and on the road by 2:45am.

My daft octet of trips commence today. These were all constructed using the old cheap £210 return fares in Club Europe which earned 160 TPs a pop.

Is it a daft idea to book eight B2Bs to Sofia over 29 days? I guess we will find out!

As my TP run draws to an end, the final step took me back to my car ahead of the drive home to Drayton, Oxfordshire.

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.
