T5 was nice and quiet at 5:15am and I was pleased to find The First Wing (TFW) open, so my progress through security was easy. Although I noted that my liquids bag got picked up again. I asked why that might be, but no real explanation was offered. I got a warm welcome at the […]

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 […]

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, […]

That special place is of course Starbucks in the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT). When I got there the queue was enormous and the staff seemed to be working really slowly. I thought I would end up using all of the available 2 hours (before my next flight) queueing for a coffee! Luckily things seemed […]

I ordered an Uber at 5:30pm – I always get to the point of thinking I may as well get on my way. Why wait any longer? Glad I did. The Uber was fine and got me to the airport at around 6pm. I headed to AA check in since I couldn’t check in online […]

Good quality sleep I did get, but just for about 4 hours or so. I was wide awake at midnight and decided to do some covid tests and see whether I could check in for my flights back home. By the time I had stopped messing around it was coming on for 4am and that […]
