So back in the F lounge I grabbed a bit of scran - this time it was the Pork Belly with red cabbage and some potato cube things. Quite nice - I think the pork had been there a while so it didn’t taste that fresh. Nice enough though.

I waited about 20 mins at the Fast Track boarding queue to get back on the plane. I informed the gate agent what I was doing so me diving under the barrier didn’t cause any concerns.

I have only 3 flights to go to complete my massive TP run. Next stop Brussels. I did toy with the idea of missing this out and just heading back to MAN - easy enough to do, but I don’t want to blot my copybook just yet.

So, before the flight to London City, I needed to get across New York city which sounds a lot easier that it really is. The number of people that you end up fighting with to get a seat, get some air (in some cases) it’s amazing.

So, this was my last time in the Flagship Lounge at LAX for a while. I’ve never thought of it as being that special, but it has turned in to my base on this trip - I’ve been in to this lounge/airport 4 times now in just a few days. So I’ve grown a little fond of it.
