This is another installment of my series of TP runs to Sofia. In June and July of 2023, I did a number of trips out to Sofia, just to collect TPs. There was another opportunity in Dec 2023 to collect more cheap TPs, so here I am!

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 […]

There were two buses waiting at stop 28 and one of them took me directly to POD Parking. The trip up the M40 back home didn’t seem to take that long. It was great to get a hug from Vick, although I’m not sure the cats were that bothered to see me.

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 […]

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, […]
