On the way home today! It was a very early start, but I'd had a good amount of sleep in my comfy bed at the Hampton Inn & Suites.

Having left the aircraft first, I was on my way up the airbridge, when I heard "Mr Billingham" from an AA rep that was now behind me. I had to double back and take a boarding pass from her.

I was awoken abruptly by the alarm this morning - I was clearly in a deep sleep. I caught the 5am Hoppa Hotels bus and bypassed the e-ticketing system, which failed miserably over the last couple of days.

This trip is based on one of the latest good value trips, originating somewhere in Europe and ending in Spain. For some reason, this open jaw arrangement reduced an already relatively cheap trip by a few hundred pounds.

When I finally got out of the baggage hall, I headed up the escalator to departures and popped into the First Checkin area to see whether I needed to exchange my BA boarding pass for an AA boarding pass in order to get me into TSA Pre-Check.

From Gate A21 I whizzed around into Arrivals and found the automated passport kiosks completely empty. Consequently, I was straight through. What was all the fuss about over the last few years?

Another exciting trip to Hawaii that I booked months ago to take advantage of a 180+ day low-cost fare basis. Out of all of the Hawaiian islands, I always choose O'Ahu if I am travelling on my own. There's so much to see and do in Waikiki and I don't need to book a hire car to get around.

My first trip to Hawaii in more than 12 months - I'm getting withdrawal symptoms! This trip starts in Amsterdam and follows the well-trodden path of flying over to Hawaii via London Heathrow, New York JFK and Los Angeles LAX. I start with an initial positioning flight from Heathrow to Amsterdam.
