I wandered up and down an empty concourse at Amsterdam and then headed back to Gate D18 to wait for boarding to commence.  On the way back to Heathrow, I was back in my normal seat (01F). When I walked through the galley, the cabin crew did a double-take and immediately asked whether I was […]

Another trip that I am looking forward to immensely began with a relatively mundane drive to Heathrow. Left home just before midday and I had to take Vick’s car due to the missus needing to drive up to see her dad in Lichfield on Sat with her brother.  Not a big deal to me, but […]

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 […]

I’ve enjoyed my first significant trip in over 18 months: Using Verifly to manage all of the covid-related requirements worked really smoothly and airlines were happy to review the app during check in.
