Tier Point Run to San Francisco in Jan 2022: Day 5 – Amsterdam AMS to London LHR

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 […]

Pushing back at Heathrow T5 on my way to Amsterdam AMS

Tier Point Run to San Francisco in Jan 2022: Day 5 – London LHR to Amsterdam AMS

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 […]

From the Air Train, I went down on the escalator (in the middle) for a change (rather than using the lift at one end) and it took me into a tunnel before I needed to cross the road. It felt very different to my normal walk when arriving into T7 and heading to the Air […]

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 […]

I had set my alarm for 4:30am, on the basis that the first train to T5 would be leaving Hatton Cross at 5:05am. In the end I was awake about 20 mins early, but thought I might as well get up and have a leisurely start to the day. As a result of the refresh, […]

I have not stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn for a very long time – a symptom of covid and the pandemic I guess. Whilst I have been away, they have refurbished the place – looks much nicer in the public areas and even the guest rooms have had a bit of a makeover. My […]

Tier Point Run to San Francisco in Jan 2022: Day 1 – Amsterdam AMS to London LHR

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 […]
