My final flight of the day was a significant one in more ways than one. It was my first time flying with Fiji Airways, my first time crossing the International Date Line, and the first moment I would truly find myself on the other side of the world.

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 […]

I woke just before the alarm at 4am, so another 3.5 hours kip which I was impressed with. I had a shower and dropped my key in the drop box in the following 20 mins. I concluded that ordering an Uber to take me to the airport was the best thing to do. The BART […]
