Another Tier Point run! This one took me to Helsinki overnight, and I really mean overnight literally in the airport – I hadn’t done that before.

It was the normal jog down the corridor from Gate 23 down to arrivals. It always seems a bit odd avoiding passport control when arriving from Ireland, especially considering they still check passports in the process of leaving Ireland.

Running like the bolt, I was lucky to find no one at passport control, so I was straight through, and no one in the queue for fast track security.

From passport control, I headed out and into the Arrivals Lounge. It was nice to get a shower, even though the facilities left a lot to be desired.

I discovered something this evening that doesn't inspire confidence in security procedures at JFK. I don't know whether it's just BA flouting the rules or other airlines do it as well. More on that later...

Although I was keen to try out a trip to the Eagle's Nest - I now see why it's not such a great place to arrive into or depart from!

After getting back to my car, I decided to seek out another Starbucks. I had been thinking about food for most of the walk back from Vasona Lake.
