Having reached the Hampton Inn Dallas/Irving–Las Colinas not long before midnight, I didn’t turn the light off until around half past twelve. The bed was really comfy, but I just couldn’t switch off.

Gate 205 is one of the furthest gates from border control at the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT). I was one of the last business-class passengers to deplane, but it didn’t take long to catch everyone up.

Friday 06 February 2026 was a very long day — at least as far as I was concerned. For me, it seemed to go for an eternity.

From the open-air boarding and deboarding area, I followed the Transit signs and was promptly intercepted by a lady who affixed a sticker to the back of my passport.

My flight was due to leave from Gate 59, which wasn’t too far from the lounge. The terminal was noticeably quieter at 1pm than it had been at 9am earlier in the day — which meant fewer people getting in my way.

From Gate 35, it was a long walk to transfers and immigration. The signage was excellent and it was easy to find the route to International Transfers — in fact, I appeared to be the only passenger using the facility.

I’d enjoyed a relaxing day in The Pier First Class Lounge at Hong Kong Airport. It certainly wasn’t the most exciting day of the trip, but it was exactly what I needed ahead of a mega stretch of flights.

Unbelievably, the hotel assigned me the same room last night that I’d had on my previous stay. Considering the place has around 6,000 rooms (or something close to that), that’s one heck of a coincidence.
