We haven't been back to Washington DC for years, so we decided it was time for another visit. Following the debacle of the BA Executive Club demolition, we decided to blow some Avios and a Companion Voucher.

I turned the light out at around midnight – perhaps a little after that and I set my alarm (optimistically) for 6am.

I don't think my heart has ever beaten so fast as I jogged with a full rucksack out of T7, over the road, up the stairs and onto the Air Train platform.

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.

My flight to JFK left from Gate 46B in the heart of the T4 bubble at the end of the pier. I was treated to the Concierge Key treatment at the gate when a petite Asian woman held a tablet up with my name on it. She told me I could pre-board ahead of group […]
