Enjoying getting back into flying after the awful last few years. Managed to sneak in another trip in Feb with Las Vegas in my sights.

The CCR was very quiet. I had just short of 2 hours before my flight to New York. My Starbucks was really satisfying and I caught up with the Vickster who had been partying in my absence. After writing up my notes for the blog, I checked on gate info and noticed that my flight […]

Preparations Nice quiet day today ahead of the start of my first trip in 18 months or so. Not flying until late in the day, but decided to take the day off to avoid any last-minute stress and to make sure I’ve got everything in order, including all of the covid testing procedures. I took […]

So, before the flight to London City, I needed to get across New York city which sounds a lot easier that it really is. The number of people that you end up fighting with to get a seat, get some air (in some cases) it’s amazing.

So, this was my last time in the Flagship Lounge at LAX for a while. I’ve never thought of it as being that special, but it has turned in to my base on this trip - I’ve been in to this lounge/airport 4 times now in just a few days. So I’ve grown a little fond of it.

So I now had the challenge of getting across New York from JFK to EWR. If you look at a map, the two airports are (roughly) equidistant from Manhattan and (roughly) on the same level.

Once we got the call to reboard, we were back on the plane within a minute, and it was only another 5 or 10 mins before we were taking off for JFK. I didn’t notice the time, but it felt like we were about on time.

Well just days to go now, and I’m getting prepared for my long trip. Itinerary has been printed; flight bookings printed; hotel bookings printed; maps to get me across London, and across NYC printed; and I’ve got my ESTA, Global Entry and travel insurance details printed as well.
