Back in the air, to continue adding to my Tier Point pot. Somewhere new for me this time: Tucson in Arizona. The only time I have ever come across Tucson in the past is courtesy of Chandler in Friends.

Story: Holiday to Indian Wells in Mar 2025

Another chilled out morning for two retired folk in our cafe. That's us by the way, if it wasn't that obvious. Chutney was all over Vick as normal. Mango has been a little less interested in a warm lap, but she was happy to sit on the arm of my chair.

The Vickster is looking forward to this one. Her first time visiting Indian Wells for the ATP/WTA Masters 1000 tournament. She has already completed her grand slam of the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open.

From most gates at T3, it's a bit of a trek to Passport Control. Gate 32 is no different.

Whilst we were waiting to reboard, I was asked by the despatcher what the weather was like at Heathrow. A bit breezy, I said, which I guess was a bit of an understatement.

Lap 8 started with a jolt. My watch battery had run out, so my phone woke me abruptly. Due to the tube signalling issues last night, the Piccadilly line was shut, so I had to fork out £25 for an Uber to T3.

It was a different despatch team to the normal crew, but they were happy to let me through the glass door. I was on my own for the Lap 7 B2B. Billy-no-mates!

T3 wasn't too busy. Fast track Security wasn't busy either, so I was soon wandering over to the Cathay Pacific lounge.
