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.

I took the opportunity of having a chat with the Vickster by phone whilst I waited for Gate 3 to open to passengers.

The escalator in the BA check-in area was cordoned off for some reason, so a minor detour was required to get up to the first level and access to Fast Track Security.

Another relaxing start to the day, ahead of my first TP run of 2024. For a change, I had a lie-in! I didn't wake up until almost 6am. The cats were not impressed!

Another visit to Heathrow T3. Lots of good quality lounges to choose from.

This is another installment of my series of TP runs to Sofia. In June, July and Dec of 2023, I did a number of trips out to Sofia, just to collect TPs. There was another opportunity in Jan 2024 to collect more cheap TPs, so here I am!

I was pleased to finally get back to my car at T5 Long Stay. It felt like it had been a long day and I was keen to get home to reaquaint myself with the Vickster and the moggies.

I always jog through Dublin airport - it just doesn't make sense to assume all will be well with passport control and security. You never know what you might find.

I got through Passport Control kiosk first time, although it took a lot of whirring to confirm I was OK to enter the UK! From there, I headed up to the Arrivals Lounge for a shower.
