As expected, I didn’t get much sleep. I was awake at before 2am and I just knew that there was no chance of me going back to sleep. Where did I put that melatonin? Considering I have only just arrived, I had to start thinking about my trip back home. Two things I needed to […]

Into the lounge and AA were obviously continuing with some renovations; this time the other side of the Flagship Lounge was closed. [In my last TP Run (to Hawaii) the other half of the lounge was closed] My flight to San Francisco was due to leave from Gate 159 in TBIT – the incoming flight […]

It was seriously cold at JFK when I left T7 and headed to the Sky Train. It was also eerily quiet, as if there had been an announcement that the airport would be closed today, so no one had turned up. I just missed an Air Train that would have taken me to T8 but […]

T5 was nice and quiet at 5:15am and I was pleased to find The First Wing (TFW) open, so my progress through security was easy. Although I noted that my liquids bag got picked up again. I asked why that might be, but no real explanation was offered. I got a warm welcome at the […]

I had set my alarm for 4:30am, on the basis that the first train to T5 would be leaving Hatton Cross at 5:05am. In the end I was awake about 20 mins early, but thought I might as well get up and have a leisurely start to the day. As a result of the refresh, […]

I have not stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn for a very long time – a symptom of covid and the pandemic I guess. Whilst I have been away, they have refurbished the place – looks much nicer in the public areas and even the guest rooms have had a bit of a makeover. My […]

I wandered up and down an empty concourse at Amsterdam and then headed back to Gate D18 to wait for boarding to commence. On the way back to Heathrow, I was back in my normal seat (01F). When I walked through the galley, the cabin crew did a double-take and immediately asked whether I was […]

I arrived on the bus from POD parking into bus stop 28, just outside the lifts, which I took up to level 5 and departures. T5 didn’t appear to be too busy and within 3 or 4 mins I was standing outside The First Wing (TFW). I already had my two boarding cards for the […]
