Holiday Washington DC in Nov 2025

We haven't been back to Washington DC for years, so we decided it was time for another visit. Following the debacle of the BA Executive Club demolition, we decided to blow some Avios and a Companion Voucher.

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! 😊 […]

On check in, the desk asked to see my Safe Travels ticks. They assigned me room 1456 which was a bog-standard city view room. No upgrade. I couldn’t be bothered pushing – I really wanted to crash at this point. After a quick shower, I decided to head out and revisit a few haunts. I […]

Tier Point Run to Hawaii in Nov 2021: Day 3 – New York JFK to Los Angeles LAX

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 […]

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! […]

Tier Point Run to Hawaii in Nov 2021: Day 2 – Early Morning in Paris

Woke at 6am – I had set my alarm for 7am. Felt fairly rested even considering the very soft mattress. The hotel is fairly worn, but has big rooms. It doesn’t seem too busy, but there were a lot of rooms on floor 4 which were being used – I could tell by all of […]

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 […]
