Tier Point Run to Tucson in Oct 2024

Back in the air, to continue adding to my Tier Point pot. Somewhere new for me this time: Tucson in Arizona. The only time I have ever come across Tucson in the past is courtesy of Chandler in Friends.

A mighty view in Yellowstone National Park

When I got to T7, I checked in with BA who gave me new boarding passes. The AA boarding passes won’t work with TSA Pre-Check for some reason, even though the TSA Pre-Check isn’t much to talk about in T7. I’ve never understood why they don’t implement it properly. Security was a joke as usual, […]

Tier Point Run to Hawaii in Nov 2021: Day 2 – New York JFK

For once, the Hilton Digital Key worked like a dream. I was prompted that it was available; it allowed me to use the lift up to my room and allowed me access to my room as well – it was dead easy to use. Really useful if only it worked consistently across all Hilton properties! […]

The CCR was very quiet. I had just short of 2 hours before my flight to New York. My Starbucks was really satisfying and I caught up with the Vickster who had been partying in my absence. After writing up my notes for the blog, I checked on gate info and noticed that my flight […]

Tier Point Run to Hawaii in Nov 2021: Day 2 – Paris CDG to Heathrow

When the sun rose, it became clear that the mist had stuck around overnight. I wondered whether that might have an impact on flights. As it happens it seemed to have absolutely no effect on flights into or out of CDG. Perhaps partly due to having fewer scheduled flights just now? I wandered back to […]

Tier Point Run to Hawaii in Nov 2021: Day 1 – London LHR to Paris CDG

The First Lounge was fairly busy – about as busy as I remember it pre-covid. On entering the CCR, I didn’t need to show my CCR card, so that was available from a scan of my boarding pass. The CCR has been spruced up a little with new, slightly more modern furniture. Again, it felt […]

Tier Point Run to Hawaii in Nov 2021: Prep

Preparations Nice quiet day today ahead of the start of my first trip in 18 months or so. Not flying until late in the day, but decided to take the day off to avoid any last-minute stress and to make sure I’ve got everything in order, including all of the covid testing procedures. I took […]
