Another Tier Point run! This one took me to Helsinki overnight, and I really mean overnight literally in the airport – I hadn’t done that before.

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 […]

I’ve enjoyed my first significant trip in over 18 months: Using Verifly to manage all of the covid-related requirements worked really smoothly and airlines were happy to review the app during check in. Wearing masks all through my flights was a real chore. I experienced the new BA Club World suite for the first time […]

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, […]

That special place is of course Starbucks in the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT). When I got there the queue was enormous and the staff seemed to be working really slowly. I thought I would end up using all of the available 2 hours (before my next flight) queueing for a coffee! Luckily things seemed […]

I slept ok for about 4 hours, but by the time New York hit midnight I was wide awake. I decided not to fight it – I struggle sleeping in at the best of times, so when I have critical timed stuff to do, there’s no chance. It’s the third day and I haven’t gone […]

For once, the Hilton Digital Key worked like a dream. I was prompted that it was available; it allowed me to use the lift up to my room and allowed me access to my room as well – it was dead easy to use. Really useful if only it worked consistently across all Hilton properties! […]
