Tier Point Run to Tucson in Oct 2024

Back in the air, to continue adding to my Tier Point pot. Somewhere new for me this time: Tucson in Arizona. The only time I have ever come across Tucson in the past is courtesy of Chandler in Friends.

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 […]

I ordered an Uber at 5:30pm – I always get to the point of thinking I may as well get on my way. Why wait any longer? Glad I did. The Uber was fine and got me to the airport at around 6pm. I headed to AA check in since I couldn’t check in online […]

Into the AA lounge and I found that the Flagship Lounge isn’t open right now – so it’s just a standard Admiral’s Club. I scanned my boarding card and up the steps to the Hawaii pre-clear desk, which ended up being a bit of a struggle. I showed the guy all of my details including […]

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: Prep

Preparations Nice quiet day today ahead of the start of my first trip in 18 months or so. Not flying until late in the day, but decided to take the day off to avoid any last-minute stress and to make sure I’ve got everything in order, including all of the covid testing procedures. I took […]
