Nantes is a seasonal route for BA, who operate some flights over the Summer months. The city is situated on the Loire river, about 30 miles from the coast and is the sixth biggest city in France. I’d booked this…

JFK to Heathrow
Traffic to JFK is moderately busy, slow moving and stationary in places, but there are no severe hold ups. We arrive at Terminal 7 about 3 hours before our flight, the BA172. We collect boarding passes, and breeze through security…
Heathrow to Washington DC
I took my father to New York City back in December 2017, and he’d loved the city and I knew he’d like a return visit. But rather than just repeat the same trip, I decided to weave in a short…
Dublin, Malahide & Lana del Rey
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…
Boston in June
Mid June, and I’m travelling back to Boston for another visit to check-in on the team there. Heathrow to Boston (140 Tier Points) Heading to Heathrow by cab late on a Saturday afternoon, and the traffic is free flowing. Things…
Madrid, Business and Pleasure

Back to Vegas, Part 1
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…
A Week in Boston Part 1, Heathrow to Boston
One of the teams I manage is in Boston Massachusetts, so I tend to visit the city at least once a quarter to checkin with them and get some proper facetime. Nowadays Boston, like many cities in the US, is…
