I’ve wanted to do a Round the World (RTW) trip for as long as I can remember. It was always one of those “one day” ideas — something the Vickster and I might build into a future Australia trip, or perhaps save for a milestone year.

It was also unusual to arrive at T3 in the light. The front was lit up attractively on my recent visits. A very different feel to the place with the sun up.

After just 3 days away from Sofia, the start of Lap 4 beckons. After today, it's only another 3 days before my first of two B2B2Bs (Fri and Sat B2Bs).

The flight back to Heathrow was a bit of a drag. It was a longer flight because of fighting against the jet stream, and by that stage, the novelty had worn off a bit. I felt tired as well, and I just needed to get home.

Having arrived at a gate on the other side of the concourse, we got a different level of service on arrival. The airbridge was connected, and there was a short delay whilst the arrival team got themselves prepared.

I found T3 in a similar state as i did over the last few Saturdays. It was plenty busy, with passengers waiting for check-in to open.

I was looking forward to the start of Lap 3 on my eight B2B mega TP run to Sofia (and back). It was another early start, which was the bit I wasn't looking forward to.

I jogged across the front of T3 and down the steps to head to the tube. My jogging paid off as I just caught a train on the way into Central London.

At Non-Schengen Arrivals, we jogged to Passport Control, to see what sort of impact the Ryanair flight arriving ahead of us would have.
