Hawaii again? Needed to keep my TPs ticking along so that I hit Gold for Life in the next 12 months or so (GfL).

After a quick walk using the travelators back to Passport Control and only waiting a few mins for a shuttle bus to take me to Business Parking, I had to find my car!

It was just 30 seconds after getting off the aircraft before I ended up being first in the queue for getting back on. Another 30 seconds later and gate staff arrived and they started filling the boarding pen up as we watched the remaining passengers continued walking up the jet bridge.

The friendly bus driver dropped me at Heathrow T3 and I headed into Fast Track Security. The access point had been moved - I guess as a temporary measure whilst they make changes. It certainly wasn't fast today either!

Another chilled out start to the day, although I was up earlier than I would have hoped. Too many thoughts about performance issues that are a big challenge at work and which need to be sorted by midday on Tue, with no clear way of resolving them at this point.

This seems to be a common theme now: I book the BA flights which are timed early in the morning and as a result of their seasonal adjustments, BA changes the flights to the afternoon. If they know that's likely to happen, why not just set those times to start with?

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

It was the normal jog down the corridor from Gate 23 down to arrivals. It always seems a bit odd avoiding passport control when arriving from Ireland, especially considering they still check passports in the process of leaving Ireland.

Running like the bolt, I was lucky to find no one at passport control, so I was straight through, and no one in the queue for fast track security.
