It’s time for my final flight of 2025! It’s not a particularly interesting flight by itself, but I got some pictures of the Delta SkyClub in Boston, so I figured it would be worth including! This was also my last flight as a Delta Platinum Medallion member; in 2026, I only have Delta Silver Medallion,Continue reading “2025 comes to a close with a final regional flight: RIC-BOS”

Another 2025 transcontinental journey on Delta Airlines but without DeltaOne
To the surprise of no one, my last big trip of the year is a multi-week trip to the East Coast! In this case, I’ll actually be flying Delta back once again. I had expected to fly Alaska Airlines like last year on the direct flight to DC from SF, but that flight was, asContinue reading “Another 2025 transcontinental journey on Delta Airlines but without DeltaOne”
2025’s big trip: India! Part 5A: LHR Concorde Room
It’s finally time to finish up the trip to India! I’ve been in the process of moving locally for the last month and so have been bogged down by that, so these have been coming out a bit more slowly than I would’ve liked, but here we are: British Airways First Class from London toContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India!

2025’s big trip: India! Part 5: MAA-LHR
After a week in India, it was time to return to Europe. I don’t generally leave reviews of hotels or destinations, and this time is no different. The summary of my trip is that I really enjoyed visiting the granite temples of Mahabalipuram and really did not like the Somerset Greenways Chennai. The Leela PalaceContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India! Part 5: MAA-LHR”
Interrupting 2025’s India trip again to add in another flight: LAX-SFO
While getting working on the review for the return flight from India, I actually came across a second flight that I had missed from earlier this year. This flight is from back in July (and was, in fact, the only flight I took in either July or August). I had driven down to LA withContinue reading “Interrupting 2025’s India trip again to add in another flight: LAX-SFO”
2025’s big trip: India! Part 3: BHD-LHR
This next flight is the beginning of my ticket to India: Belfast to London. You’ll notice that I had previously flown into Dublin. I didn’t actually spend any time in Dublin but rather immediately got on a bus to Belfast. Had I booked the same Dublin-San Francisco-Dublin ticket starting instead in Belfast, it would’ve costContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India! Part 3: BHD-LHR”
Interrupting 2025’s India trip to add in an old flight
I looked back through my flight logs for this year, and I found an interesting pattern of a lot of premium transcontinental flights crammed early in the year, followed by a lot of regular (i.e. non-premium) transcontinental flights in the middle of the year, and then a lot of British Airways flights in the FallContinue reading “Interrupting 2025’s India trip to add in an old flight”
2025’s big trip: India! Part 2: LHR-DUB
Upon arriving in London and clearing security, I made my way directly to the Galleries First Lounge, which has been featured on this blog numerous times before and will likely continue being featured on this blog for a while because it is the Oneworld Emerald lounge for British Airways at Heathrow. This will be myContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India! Part 2: LHR-DUB”
2025’s big trip: India! Part 1: SFO-LHR on an A380
As readers will probably notice, it’s now travel season for me again! My next set of trips is to India for a wedding. All the flights on this trip were on British Airways, so I’m planning to mix up these flights up with some other posts, so everything is going to be a bit outContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India!

Spring break to Europe! Part 2: Aer Lingus across the Irish Sea
It’s very uncommon that my second post from a trip is the beginning of the return trip to the United States. But that’s the situation we find ourselves in with this next report. I spent about a week in Europe, but there wasn’t a lot to report on for this blog. To get from London to Paris,Continue reading “Spring break to Europe! Part 2: Aer Lingus across the Irish Sea”
