Another enjoyable, if slightly frustrating, trip earning Tier Points, which included my first ever overnight delay caused by a flight cancellation.

My flight home was due to depart from Gate C126. United Airlines (UA) advertise they start boarding 50 mins before departure time, so I headed down there early.

Well this wasn't the trip I thought I would be doing today! Stuck in New York due to (primarily) a BA IT cockup which held me up by over 4 hours

So, this was my last time in the Flagship Lounge at LAX for a while. I’ve never thought of it as being that special, but it has turned in to my base on this trip - I’ve been in to this lounge/airport 4 times now in just a few days. So I’ve grown a little fond of it.

So I now had the challenge of getting across New York from JFK to EWR. If you look at a map, the two airports are (roughly) equidistant from Manhattan and (roughly) on the same level.

Shouldn’t be scary this one - I’ve done overseas trips on my own before (well once), and I’ve worn the t-shirt, and watched the video, and read the book etc. No big deal.
