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.

It was an unusual start to a trip, with our first stop being a lunchtime visit to friends in Reading.

I was second off behind the first officer, and it took a while to work out my bearings in the airport. I was concerned about going too far and missing transit security, but it became pretty obvious.

I got into the CCR and went for a shower to freshen up. The lounges felt pretty busy, but I managed to find a quiet seat.

A short shuttle bus to the Tom Bradley International Terminal, and we were soon heading through TSA Pre-Check. Once through, we headed straight into the Qantas First Lounge and found some relaxing recliner seats.
