In Mar 2014 we went on our weekend away with friends to the Peak District. We always had a great laugh on our weekends away.

I almost always end up staying at a hotel like this on a trip out to the west coast. That's one where I arrive really late, and I am due to fly out again really early the following day.

I decided to go Flight Connections route for a change. It seemed to cause a stir as the staff didn't really know what they were looking for on my boarding pass and were getting confused between domestic connections and international connections.

It's all been relatively straightforward for this trip. I originally booked this trip back in June, on the basis that I was almost guaranteed to see an AA flight change sufficient to allow me to better manage my time on this trip.

I discovered something this evening that doesn't inspire confidence in security procedures at JFK. I don't know whether it's just BA flouting the rules or other airlines do it as well. More on that later...

Although I was keen to try out a trip to the Eagle's Nest - I now see why it's not such a great place to arrive into or depart from!

It still feels a bit odd walking into a joint BA/AA check-in area at JFK T8. But everyone is warm and welcoming, so it's a good place to be.

I was greeted at TFW with a huge queue to get into security. BA were only allowing paper boarding cards, so there was obviously an IT problem somewhere. Apparently it was an airport security system issue rather than a BA IT issue.
