Our night's sleep at the Hilton Heathrow T5 was not the best. Our alarms woke us at 3:50am, which is an ungodly hour even for me!

From Gate B37, I was first off, having photographed door 2L being opened at 13:59:47. I thought that may have been important for my UK261 compensation claim.

The countdown continued to me getting home. This was my last flight of the first phase of my trip and the last flight before I was reunited with my beloved wife and bestie.

I was invited over to the First Check-in desk at counter 9 in The First Wing (TFW). I asked the agent to check my passport and then see whether she could change my seat assignment on the LAX–JFK flight.

It was great to see James at home that morning. He’d stayed over the night before on his way to an all-day business meeting in Chipping Norton.

I was first off the aircraft, heading straight up the airbridge from door 2L. Gate 409 turned out to be very conveniently located for border control, which was a welcome bonus at the end of a long day.
