This was a new one for me: a TP run to Estonia via Heathrow and Helsinki. This was better value than my normal TP runs to Hawaii, so I doubled up on the excitement by doing a nested TP run.

I had the recurring discussion with the lounge agents at Millionaire's Door as to whether I wanted the business class lounge, or was I a GGL member.

Another trip booked months ago, then subject to a flight change, so I was able to rearrange my trip to any date/time as long as there was seat availability.

Another TP Run under my belt. I’m managing to sneak these in and take advantage of the guaranteed AA schedule changes to minimise the impact on my working life. Another enjoyable trip – my second in just over two months after a long gap due to the pandemic. Some points worth highlighting: Verifly helped again […]

From the Air Train, I went down on the escalator (in the middle) for a change (rather than using the lift at one end) and it took me into a tunnel before I needed to cross the road. It felt very different to my normal walk when arriving into T7 and heading to the Air […]

My flight to JFK left from Gate 46B in the heart of the T4 bubble at the end of the pier. I was treated to the Concierge Key treatment at the gate when a petite Asian woman held a tablet up with my name on it. She told me I could pre-board ahead of group […]

I woke just before the alarm at 4am, so another 3.5 hours kip which I was impressed with. I had a shower and dropped my key in the drop box in the following 20 mins. I concluded that ordering an Uber to take me to the airport was the best thing to do. The BART […]

As expected, I didn’t get much sleep. I was awake at before 2am and I just knew that there was no chance of me going back to sleep. Where did I put that melatonin? Considering I have only just arrived, I had to start thinking about my trip back home. Two things I needed to […]
