My flight to JFK left from Gate 46B in the heart of the T4 bubble at the end of the pier.  I was treated to the Concierge Key treatment at the gate when a petite Asian woman held a tablet up with my name on it.  She told me I could pre-board ahead of group […]

It was seriously cold at JFK when I left T7 and headed to the Sky Train.  It was also eerily quiet, as if there had been an announcement that the airport would be closed today, so no one had turned up. I just missed an Air Train that would have taken me to T8 but […]

T5 was nice and quiet at 5:15am and I was pleased to find The First Wing (TFW) open, so my progress through security was easy.  Although I noted that my liquids bag got picked up again.  I asked why that might be, but no real explanation was offered. I got a warm welcome at the […]

Preparations Managed to sneak this trip in during Jan.  It was originally a June booking that was impacted by flight cancellations, so at the start of Jan I decided to take advantage of my ability to rebook my trip avoiding all of the original restrictions: as long as there is flight availability.  That allowed me […]

When I got to T7, I checked in with BA who gave me new boarding passes.  The AA boarding passes won’t work with TSA Pre-Check for some reason, even though the TSA Pre-Check isn’t much to talk about in T7.  I’ve never understood why they don’t implement it properly.  Security was a joke as usual, […]

That special place is of course Starbucks in the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT).  When I got there the queue was enormous and the staff seemed to be working really slowly.  I thought I would end up using all of the available 2 hours (before my next flight) queueing for a coffee! Luckily things seemed […]
