The CCR was very quiet.  I had just short of 2 hours before my flight to New York.  My Starbucks was really satisfying and I caught up with the Vickster who had been partying in my absence. After writing up my notes for the blog, I checked on gate info and noticed that my flight […]

When the sun rose, it became clear that the mist had stuck around overnight.  I wondered whether that might have an impact on flights.   As it happens it seemed to have absolutely no effect on flights into or out of CDG.  Perhaps partly due to having fewer scheduled flights just now? I wandered back to […]

Woke at 6am – I had set my alarm for 7am.  Felt fairly rested even considering the very soft mattress. The hotel is fairly worn, but has big rooms.  It doesn’t seem too busy, but there were a lot of rooms on floor 4 which were being used – I could tell by all of […]

The First Lounge was fairly busy – about as busy as I remember it pre-covid. On entering the CCR, I didn’t need to show my CCR card, so that was available from a scan of my boarding pass. The CCR has been spruced up a little with new, slightly more modern furniture. Again, it felt […]

I said my goodbyes to Vick and the cats just before 1:30pm and drove down to Heathrow T5 Meet & Greet. I was a little apprehensive having not really travelled in the post-covid world, other than a brief visit to Italy about a year ago. Not exactly in the same league of complexity however. T5 […]

Preparations Nice quiet day today ahead of the start of my first trip in 18 months or so. Not flying until late in the day, but decided to take the day off to avoid any last-minute stress and to make sure I’ve got everything in order, including all of the covid testing procedures. I took […]
