The AA Lounge at the low-B gates was packed again. I'm sure it was never this busy when I frequented Phoenix years ago. Perhaps there are more passengers with status? Perhaps I have been unlucky with timing?

Starbucks was very relaxing, and I needed the caffeine to top-up and breakfast. The staff were friendly, which was a bonus.

I had already worked out where all of the key places were at Sky Harbor before I left the aircraft. My flight to Palm Springs was due to leave from Gate B12, the AA lounge was located around Gate B5 and Starbucks was located at Gate B17.

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.

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.
