To continue the build of my Tier Points in my next British Airways Executive Club membership year, I am heading over to Palm Springs to (hopefully) see some sun!

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.

I arrived at Gate 18 in time to board alongside the last passengers. Of course, I got a red "no no" when scanning my face at the gate; BA needed to check my passport before I could get on.

The AA Lounge at the low-B gates was packed again. I'm sure it was never this busy when I frequented Phoenix years ago. Perhaps there are more passengers with status? Perhaps I have been unlucky with timing?
