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. Another enjoyable trip – my second in just over two months after a long gap due to the pandemic. Some points worth highlighting: Verifly helped again […]

Tier Point Run to San Francisco in Jan 2022: Day 5 – Amsterdam AMS to London LHR

It was all very uneventful at Amsterdam at Gate D18. We boarded about 30 mins before departure and the load was light for the flight back to Heathrow. I think that summarises the position for all of my flights on this trip. On board and into my normal seat 01F. The cabin crew asked whether […]

Pushing back at Heathrow T5 on my way to Amsterdam AMS

Tier Point Run to San Francisco in Jan 2022: Day 5 – London LHR to Amsterdam AMS

There was no queue for security when I got there. When I approached Millionaire’s Door, the BA staff member checking boarding cards didn’t have a clue about how to check access. She initially indicated I could use the First Lounge. When I explained I had access to the CCR, she asked whether I had a […]

Tier Point Run to San Francisco in Jan 2022: Day 1 – Amsterdam AMS to London LHR

I wandered up and down an empty concourse at Amsterdam and then headed back to Gate D18 to wait for boarding to commence. On the way back to Heathrow, I was back in my normal seat (01F). When I walked through the galley, the cabin crew did a double-take and immediately asked whether I was […]

Tier Point Run to San Francisco in Jan 2022: Day 1 – London LHR to Amsterdam AMS

I arrived on the bus from POD parking into bus stop 28, just outside the lifts, which I took up to level 5 and departures. T5 didn’t appear to be too busy and within 3 or 4 mins I was standing outside The First Wing (TFW). I already had my two boarding cards for the […]

Preparations Managed to sneak this trip in during Jan. It was originally a June booking that was impacted by flight cancellations, so at the start of Jan I decided to take advantage of my ability to rebook my trip avoiding all of the original restrictions: as long as there is flight availability. That allowed me […]
