Another TP Run under my belt. I’m managing to sneak these in and take advantage of the guaranteed AA schedule changes to minimise the impact on my working life. Another enjoyable trip – my second in just over two months after a long gap due to the pandemic. Some points worth highlighting: Verifly helped again […]

It was all very uneventful at Amsterdam at Gate D18.  We boarded about 30 mins before departure and the load was light for the flight back to Heathrow.  I think that summarises the position for all of my flights on this trip. On board and into my normal seat 01F.  The cabin crew asked whether […]

There was no queue for security when I got there.  When I approached Millionaire’s Door, the BA staff member checking boarding cards didn’t have a clue about how to check access.  She initially indicated I could use the First Lounge.  When I explained I had access to the CCR, she asked whether I had a […]

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 […]
