I discovered something this evening that doesn't inspire confidence in security procedures at JFK. I don't know whether it's just BA flouting the rules or other airlines do it as well. More on that later...

Although I was keen to try out a trip to the Eagle's Nest - I now see why it's not such a great place to arrive into or depart from!

It still feels a bit odd walking into a joint BA/AA check-in area at JFK T8. But everyone is warm and welcoming, so it's a good place to be.

I was greeted at TFW with a huge queue to get into security. BA were only allowing paper boarding cards, so there was obviously an IT problem somewhere. Apparently it was an airport security system issue rather than a BA IT issue.

Having not spent much time in San Jose, I was looking forward to a few days looking around. An opportunity to see somewhere new!

It took me about 5 mins to walk from Gate 31 to the Chelsea Lounge in Terminal 8. The lounge dragons welcomed me in. It seemed a lot quieter than it was on my outbound, last Fri.

As it happens, the Starbucks queue at TBIT wasn't long at all. Since they opened the second store further up the concourse, perhaps it has distributed the volume of passengers wanting a Starbucks.

Approaching the T8 premium check-in area, I noticed the First Class check-in area to the right hand side, so I decided I would give it a try.
