Over Easter 2014 we took a trip to Helsinki – our first visit to Finland. It was partly to allow us to try out the CCR at Heathrow T5 and partly just to get away.

I decided to go Flight Connections route for a change. It seemed to cause a stir as the staff didn't really know what they were looking for on my boarding pass and were getting confused between domestic connections and international connections.

After a quick dash to passport control, it was fairly evident it was a quiet time for the airport. There were no other aircraft sat at the 200 gates and the corridors were empty. I think I woke up some of the border team when I got there.

Heathrow T5 was fairly quiet after taking the lift up to Departures on level 5. I thought about popping into The First Wing (TFW) check in area to get my boarding pass validated, but due to the queue, I decided to head straight through security.

The start of another trip beckons and another few days away from home. Hopefully, the Vickster can shake the cough that she now has, and fit in some exciting stuff to keep her mind off me not being at home.

It's all been relatively straightforward for this trip. I originally booked this trip back in June, on the basis that I was almost guaranteed to see an AA flight change sufficient to allow me to better manage my time on this trip.

To continue the build of my Tier Points in my next British Airways Executive Club membership year, I am heading over to Palm Springs to (hopefully) see some sun!
