Tier Point Run to Palm Springs in Dec 2023: Day 1 – Dublin DUB to London Heathrow LHR

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.

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.

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.

My B2B at Dublin T1 was a piece of cake this morning. As per the recent BA initiative to get Heathrow BA flights away on time, BA pushed back 5 mins ahead of schedule at Heathrow and BA0832 arrived at DUB T1 Gate 204 about 5-10 mins early.
