Heading back to Miami to finish off our trip to Miami to watch the tennis at Crandon Park to watch some tennis!

On check in, the desk asked to see my Safe Travels ticks. They assigned me room 1456 which was a bog-standard city view room. No upgrade. I couldn’t be bothered pushing – I really wanted to crash at this point. After a quick shower, I decided to head out and revisit a few haunts. I […]

Into the AA lounge and I found that the Flagship Lounge isn’t open right now – so it’s just a standard Admiral’s Club. I scanned my boarding card and up the steps to the Hawaii pre-clear desk, which ended up being a bit of a struggle. I showed the guy all of my details including […]

I slept ok for about 4 hours, but by the time New York hit midnight I was wide awake. I decided not to fight it – I struggle sleeping in at the best of times, so when I have critical timed stuff to do, there’s no chance. It’s the third day and I haven’t gone […]

For once, the Hilton Digital Key worked like a dream. I was prompted that it was available; it allowed me to use the lift up to my room and allowed me access to my room as well – it was dead easy to use. Really useful if only it worked consistently across all Hilton properties! […]

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 […]

When the sun rose, it became clear that the mist had stuck around overnight. I wondered whether that might have an impact on flights. As it happens it seemed to have absolutely no effect on flights into or out of CDG. Perhaps partly due to having fewer scheduled flights just now? I wandered back to […]

Woke at 6am – I had set my alarm for 7am. Felt fairly rested even considering the very soft mattress. The hotel is fairly worn, but has big rooms. It doesn’t seem too busy, but there were a lot of rooms on floor 4 which were being used – I could tell by all of […]

The First Lounge was fairly busy – about as busy as I remember it pre-covid. On entering the CCR, I didn’t need to show my CCR card, so that was available from a scan of my boarding pass. The CCR has been spruced up a little with new, slightly more modern furniture. Again, it felt […]
