We went down to London for the weekend to see the ATP World Tour tennis finals at the O2. We had a fab time with Sharon and Simon and saw Djokovic, Federer, Wawrinka and Nishikori.

Always a great experience being on the Finnair A350 flying between Helsinki and London Heathrow. It might also give me an opportunity for a half-decent kip!

Another chance to experience the Malaga to Helsinki Finnair red-eye on a uncomfortable A320. I could only hope I had time to pick up a Starbucks before my follow-on flight.

I jogged most of the way to Passport Control. A number of the Schengen gates along the way were very busy, but Passport Control was dead.

Malaga airport looked OK. Nothing special, but it had a Starbucks and a Giraffe restaurant, and that's just based on what I could see around Gate D42.

I had forgotten how nice the Platinum Wing is at Helsinki. That's the top Finnair lounge, located close to the 50+ gates in the non-Schengen area of the airport.

I whizzed through to T5 Flight Connections and got on the first T3 bus. It stopped at T5B, but by that stage, it was a squeeze to get anyone else onboard.

Passport Control (allowing access to the non-Schengen gates) was really busy with a long queue tailing around a tensa barrier structure.
