Haven’t I just been to Tallinn? On a TP run to Estonia via Heathrow and Helsinki? Yes I have. This time I’m taking Vick to actually walk around the place and see whether it’s as nice as everyone says it is!

I arrived at Hamad International Airport just after 11am. I was hoping to find an AA agent that might be able to change my seat on the LAX-JFK flight, after some favourable seats had opened up.

The BA Lounge agent at Terminal 3 was perfectly polite, although she didn’t ask whether I wanted an invite into First Dining — supposedly one of the perks of being Gold Guest List.

When we arrived at The First Wing (TFW), we found it fairly quiet. We had received an email from BA advising of changes being made to TFW and the First Lounge. So, we were quite interested to find out what they were changing.

The day that we depart on holiday to the USA is always a great day, but it had been tinged with a bit of sadness and guilt due to our pussies not liking the noise of the fireworks. Last night was particularly bad, and although Mango seemed to deal with the noise ok, poor old Chutney was not a happy cat.

We always look forward to a holiday in the US. But we have grown accustomed to flying with lots of leg room! This time it would be another BA flight, which pains me nowadays due to their betrayal of their most loyal travellers in pursuit of corporate profits.

We haven't been back to Washington DC for years, so we decided it was time for another visit. Following the debacle of the BA Executive Club demolition, we decided to blow some Avios and a Companion Voucher.

The hotel hoppa buses appear to turn off their tracker as they arrive at Heathrow, which means passengers have no idea that there is a bus ready to go. Why do they do that?
