I flew out to Hawaii on a week long tier point run, including a side-trip to San Juan. Sounded mad, but was great fun.

Doing a back-to-back (B2B) at Amsterdam is just so easy! From Gate D28, I ambled up and down the terminal building before heading back to the gate.

T5 was dead when I arrived onto the departures level. I had to wake someone up to allow me to verify my passport details.

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 … Read more

It was all very uneventful at Amsterdam at Gate D18. We boarded about 30 mins before departure and the load was light for the flight back to Heathrow. I think that summarises the position for all of my flights on this trip. On board and into my normal seat 01F. The cabin crew asked whether … Read more

There was no queue for security when I got there. When I approached Millionaire’s Door, the BA staff member checking boarding cards didn’t have a clue about how to check access. She initially indicated I could use the First Lounge. When I explained I had access to the CCR, she asked whether I had a … Read more

I wandered up and down an empty concourse at Amsterdam and then headed back to Gate D18 to wait for boarding to commence. On the way back to Heathrow, I was back in my normal seat (01F). When I walked through the galley, the cabin crew did a double-take and immediately asked whether I was … Read more
