Every year there tends to be a route that offers good value for money when chasing BA Executive Club Tier Points (TPs). For a while now, Sofia (SOF) has been a great place to earn (relatively) low cost TPs.

I turned the light out at around midnight – perhaps a little after that and I set my alarm (optimistically) for 6am.

Another trip booked months ago, then subject to a flight change, so I was able to rearrange my trip to any date/time as long as there was seat availability.

Good quality sleep I did get, but just for about 4 hours or so. I was wide awake at midnight and decided to do some covid tests and see whether I could check in for my flights back home. By the time I had stopped messing around it was coming on for 4am and that […]

I woke at around 2am which wasn’t too bad for me. Earliest Starbucks to open is 4am and is the one I have visited a few times, normally on a walk to Diamondhead. That was the first planned event for the day. This was my rest day so I needed to take it easy! 😊 […]

I slept ok for about 4 hours, but by the time New York hit midnight I was wide awake. I decided not to fight it – I struggle sleeping in at the best of times, so when I have critical timed stuff to do, there’s no chance. It’s the third day and I haven’t gone […]
