Another Tier Point run! This one took me to Helsinki overnight, and I really mean overnight literally in the airport – I hadn’t done that before.

Preparations Managed to sneak this trip in during Jan. It was originally a June booking that was impacted by flight cancellations, so at the start of Jan I decided to take advantage of my ability to rebook my trip avoiding all of the original restrictions: as long as there is flight availability. That allowed me […]

I’ve enjoyed my first significant trip in over 18 months: Using Verifly to manage all of the covid-related requirements worked really smoothly and airlines were happy to review the app during check in. Wearing masks all through my flights was a real chore. I experienced the new BA Club World suite for the first time […]

Even though I emailed the valet team the previous day, my car wasn’t prepared for me at T5 M&G, so I was walked to where it had been stored. No apparent issue with the car considering the alarm went off on the day I dropped it and the window was reported as not being closed […]

When I got to T7, I checked in with BA who gave me new boarding passes. The AA boarding passes won’t work with TSA Pre-Check for some reason, even though the TSA Pre-Check isn’t much to talk about in T7. I’ve never understood why they don’t implement it properly. Security was a joke as usual, […]

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 […]
