T5 was dead when I arrived onto the departures level. I had to wake someone up to allow me to verify my passport details.

My alarm went off at 3am and I headed into the shower. It's a shame I had to wake myself when I was 'so away with the fairies'.

Another trip booked months ago, then subject to a flight change, so I was able to rearrange my trip to any date/time as long as there was seat availability.

Another TP Run under my belt. I’m managing to sneak these in and take advantage of the guaranteed AA schedule changes to minimise the impact on my working life. Another enjoyable trip – my second in just over two months after a long gap due to the pandemic. Some points worth highlighting: Verifly helped again […]

There were two buses waiting at stop 28 and one of them took me directly to POD Parking. The trip up the M40 back home didn’t seem to take that long. It was great to get a hug from Vick, although I’m not sure the cats were that bothered to see me.

It was all very uneventful at Amsterdam at Gate D18. We boarded about 30 mins before departure and the load was light for the flight back to Heathrow. I think that summarises the position for all of my flights on this trip. On board and into my normal seat 01F. The cabin crew asked whether […]

There was no queue for security when I got there. When I approached Millionaire’s Door, the BA staff member checking boarding cards didn’t have a clue about how to check access. She initially indicated I could use the First Lounge. When I explained I had access to the CCR, she asked whether I had a […]

From the Air Train, I went down on the escalator (in the middle) for a change (rather than using the lift at one end) and it took me into a tunnel before I needed to cross the road. It felt very different to my normal walk when arriving into T7 and heading to the Air […]
