We haven't been back to Washington DC for years, so we decided it was time for another visit. Following the debacle of the BA Executive Club demolition, we decided to blow some Avios and a Companion Voucher.

Luckily I was first off the bus when it arrived at T3, but that didn't help with my attempt to convince the passport kiosks to accept my passport.

Sofia is one of the easiest places to do a B2B at. Arriving passengers are decanted into the departures area, so departing and arriving passengers mix.

Having checked in online, I headed up to Fast Track Security where there was a minimal queue. The 3D scanners had not arrived at T3 as yet, so it was the normal "everything out" approach and the slow move of trays through the scanner.

The day got off to a fine and chilled start: coffee in the cafe, whilst I reviewed the footage of our first test of a wildlife 4K outdoor camera.

In doing final prep for this trip, I noticed that BA had changed not only the times of both flights I was due to be on today, but also the Heathrow terminal I was due to depart from.

Every year there tends to be a route that offers good value for money when chasing BA Executive Club Tier Points (TPs). For a while now, Sofia (SOF) has been a great place to earn (relatively) low cost TPs.

The last in a trilogy of trips to Hawaii has concluded and it was another enjoyable one. Everything went according to plan and none of the flights (10 in all) were subject to any material delay.

After getting through passport control, I wander up to the north end of T5 and up the left set of lifts to the fourth floor. Need to remember that the right set of lifts only visit specific floors, excluding floor 4.
