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 […]

From the Air Train, I went down on the escalator (in the middle) for a change (rather than using the lift at one end) and it took me into a tunnel before I needed to cross the road.  It felt very different to my normal walk when arriving into T7 and heading to the Air […]
