Tier Point Run to Hawaii in Nov 2021: Day 2 – Early Morning in Paris

Woke at 6am – I had set my alarm for 7am. Felt fairly rested even considering the very soft mattress. The hotel is fairly worn, but has big rooms. It doesn’t seem too busy, but there were a lot of rooms on floor 4 which were being used – I could tell by all of […]

Tier Point Run to Hawaii in Nov 2021: Day 1 – London LHR to Paris CDG

The First Lounge was fairly busy – about as busy as I remember it pre-covid. On entering the CCR, I didn’t need to show my CCR card, so that was available from a scan of my boarding pass. The CCR has been spruced up a little with new, slightly more modern furniture. Again, it felt […]

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.
