I said my goodbyes to Vick and the cats just before 1:30pm and drove down to Heathrow T5 Meet & Greet. I was a little apprehensive having not really travelled in the post-covid world, other than a brief visit to Italy about a year ago. Not exactly in the same league of complexity however. T5 […]

Tier Point Run to Hawaii in Nov 2021: Prep

Preparations Nice quiet day today ahead of the start of my first trip in 18 months or so. Not flying until late in the day, but decided to take the day off to avoid any last-minute stress and to make sure I’ve got everything in order, including all of the covid testing procedures. I took […]

Tier Point Run to Hawaii/San Juan in Feb 2014: Day 9 – London Heathrow LHR to Manchester MAN

So back in the F lounge I grabbed a bit of scran - this time it was the Pork Belly with red cabbage and some potato cube things. Quite nice - I think the pork had been there a while so it didn’t taste that fresh. Nice enough though.

Tier Point Run to Hawaii/San Juan in Feb 2014: Day 9 – Brussels BRU to London Heathrow LHR

I waited about 20 mins at the Fast Track boarding queue to get back on the plane. I informed the gate agent what I was doing so me diving under the barrier didn’t cause any concerns.

Tier Point Run to Hawaii/San Juan in Feb 2014: Day 9 – London Heathrow LHR to Brussels BRU

I have only 3 flights to go to complete my massive TP run. Next stop Brussels. I did toy with the idea of missing this out and just heading back to MAN - easy enough to do, but I don’t want to blot my copybook just yet.

So, before the flight to London City, I needed to get across New York city which sounds a lot easier that it really is. The number of people that you end up fighting with to get a seat, get some air (in some cases) it’s amazing.

So, this was my last time in the Flagship Lounge at LAX for a while. I’ve never thought of it as being that special, but it has turned in to my base on this trip - I’ve been in to this lounge/airport 4 times now in just a few days. So I’ve grown a little fond of it.
