When I got to T7, I checked in with BA who gave me new boarding passes.  The AA boarding passes won’t work with TSA Pre-Check for some reason, even though the TSA Pre-Check isn’t much to talk about in T7.  I’ve never understood why they don’t implement it properly.  Security was a joke as usual, […]

The CCR was very quiet.  I had just short of 2 hours before my flight to New York.  My Starbucks was really satisfying and I caught up with the Vickster who had been partying in my absence. After writing up my notes for the blog, I checked on gate info and noticed that my flight […]

When the sun rose, it became clear that the mist had stuck around overnight.  I wondered whether that might have an impact on flights.   As it happens it seemed to have absolutely no effect on flights into or out of CDG.  Perhaps partly due to having fewer scheduled flights just now? I wandered back to […]

The First Lounge was fairly busy – about as busy as I remember it pre-covid. On entering the CCR, I didn’t need to show my CCR card, so that was available from a scan of my boarding pass. The CCR has been spruced up a little with new, slightly more modern furniture. Again, it felt […]

I said my goodbyes to Vick and the cats just before 1:30pm and drove down to Heathrow T5 Meet & Greet. I was a little apprehensive having not really travelled in the post-covid world, other than a brief visit to Italy about a year ago. Not exactly in the same league of complexity however. T5 […]
