Photos from Day 4 which included my flight from Heathrow to Los Angeles, a very tiring wait at LAX and my flight from Los Angeles back to New York JFK.

I was invited over to the First Check-in desk at counter 9 in The First Wing (TFW). I asked the agent to check my passport and then see whether she could change my seat assignment on the LAX–JFK flight.

The BA Lounge agent at Terminal 3 was perfectly polite, although she didn’t ask whether I wanted an invite into First Dining — supposedly one of the perks of being Gold Guest List.

I’ve wanted to do a Round the World (RTW) trip for as long as I can remember. It was always one of those “one day” ideas — something the Vickster and I might build into a future Australia trip, or perhaps save for a milestone year.
