I’m headed straight for a connecting flight to Dublin after landing from Boston. For a change this isn’t a trip to Dublin to start a tier point run, or to bag a cheap business class flight deal. It’s for a…

Madrid, Business and Pleasure
Like many companies, my travel policy allows business class travel for longer flights, in this case over 4 hours. Below that and it’s economy class. With BA at least, the tier points earned for economy class travel are generally paltry,…
Two Days in Luxembourg
This trip is part of a 14th birthday treat for Jamie, one of my three sons, who has a love of all things historical. It will be his first time in Luxembourg, but strictly speaking not mine. I’d driven through…
Helsinki, There and Back #4
This is going to be my fourth and probably final trip to Helsinki in 2019. With tier points earned so far, and future tier points from travel already booked, I should have enough now to exceed the 5000 I need…

Back to Vegas Part 3

AA Re-routing…again! Most of the multi-segment itineraries I book in advance with American Airlines seem to end up being subject to schedule change and re-routing, and this Vegas run is no exception. A few days before the trip, when going…
Helsinki, There and Back #3
A week after the last Helsinki trip and I’m back at Heathrow Terminal 3, again after an overnight at the Hilton at Hatton Cross. It’s another booking made some time ago in BA’s sale, and at 160 tier points return…
Helsinki, There and Back #2
This is the second of several trips to Helsinki in 2019, flying out on Saturday and back to Heathrow on Sunday. It’s another 11:00 flight from Heathrow Terminal 3, so for a stress free start to the day I’ve got…
Prague
Prague is a perfect destination for a long weekend; after London, Paris and Rome it welcomes the most international visitors of any European city. The flight time is relatively short, and the city extremely pretty with some great architecture. It’s…
