Yet another trip to Phoenix for a couple of nights via Bucharest, Heathrow, LA and New York. This one doesn’t include the Helsinki shuffle.

I had decided to reserve a hire car for this trip - I managed to get a half-decent deal, it should avoid costly taxi costs to get around town and give me more scope for seeing the surrounding area.

Looking forward to my final outward flight of this trip and reaching San Jose. Got a few days to recover and do some touristy things before the trip back.

It still feels a bit odd walking into a joint BA/AA check-in area at JFK T8. But everyone is warm and welcoming, so it's a good place to be.

I was greeted at TFW with a huge queue to get into security. BA were only allowing paper boarding cards, so there was obviously an IT problem somewhere. Apparently it was an airport security system issue rather than a BA IT issue.

My B2B at Dublin T1 was a piece of cake this morning. As per the recent BA initiative to get Heathrow BA flights away on time, BA pushed back 5 mins ahead of schedule at Heathrow and BA0832 arrived at DUB T1 Gate 204 about 5-10 mins early.

The first day of flying is always exciting, especially when there's a B2B involved and a seat in First Class!
