After a great three days of hiking in Utah with my friends Alex and Ben, it was time to go see my family in Virginia. Like with many things these days, finding a convenient flight was not the easiest task. Since we were in southern Utah, St. George (SGU) was the closest airport, but it’sContinue reading “An Autumn Escape (part 6A/B trying to get to Richmond)”

An Autumn Escape (part 5: to Vegas! briefly…)
After a nice two days in San Francisco, it was, unfortunately, time to bid farewell to my friend Valerie and make my way to Las Vegas. No, not to go gamble, but rather to get picked up by my friends Alex and Ben and go visit Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park in southern Utah. Continue reading “An Autumn Escape (part 5: to Vegas! briefly…)”
American Airlines Flagship Business Transcontinental (JFK-SFO 2020 Review)
After arriving at New York’s JFK airport in terminal 7, I made my way to terminal 8, the American Airlines terminal. As is the case with all international to domestic connections in the US, I manually transferred my bags. Terminal 8’s check-in counters were mostly closed. American Airlines was condensed to a single aisle, splitContinue reading “American Airlines Flagship Business Transcontinental (JFK-SFO 2020 Review)”
London to New York on British Airways in Club World (2020 flight: an autumn escape part 3)
After a nice overnight layover in London, I was off on the next leg of my trip! This time to the United States for the main part of my trip. It took a couple tries to get this trip booked correctly because flights kept getting cancelled or moved. In total, three flight changes happened, andContinue reading “London to New York on British Airways in Club World (2020 flight: an autumn escape part 3)”
An Autumn Escape (part 2: Sweden to London)
After the last flights, we spent a nice, serene four days in Stockholm. We went to the zoo and to the Vasa museum. The Vasa museum was particularly noteworthy; the ship had capsized on its maiden voyage in 1628 and then sat preserved for over 300 years before being raised and then having a museumContinue reading “An Autumn Escape (part 2: Sweden to London)”
An Autumn Escape (part 1: to Sweden)
It’s now been about seven months since the first round of lock downs were announced in the UK. Obviously, travel is still way down given the quarantines or testing requirements that are often necessary to change countries. I planned this trip back in April, at a time where it was generally hoped that by October,Continue reading “An Autumn Escape (part 1: to Sweden)”
Back to the UK on Finnair!
Hi everyone! Krister and I had a nice trip to Finland. I spent most of the time sitting outside in the sun and the rest of the time working from home, so not a bad trip overall. But alas, it was time to return to the UK and resume normal(ish) life. Learning from last time,Continue reading “Back to the UK on Finnair!”
Finnair Eurobusiness during the pandemic
Well, it’s been a long lockdown, but Europe is slowly starting to reopen and allow more travel. For this trip, Krister and I are in Finland specifically to visit his parents (15 July – 26 July). This is the first time we will have seen them since we got engaged, and Finland is now allowingContinue reading “Finnair Eurobusiness during the pandemic”
Lufthansa A340-600 Premium Economy Chicago – Munich (2020 Review)
Sorry for the delay everyone! I’ve been playing catch up now that I’m back from the field. And with the chance of the university shutting down, I figured I’d have time when working from home to work on this. Low and behold, Liverpool has cancelled classes, so I now have time! Upon arrival into ChicagoContinue reading “Lufthansa A340-600 Premium Economy Chicago – Munich (2020 Review)”
United Domestic Regional First Class: ELP-ORD (New Mexico Part 4)
I’m back in the UK now after the trip to New Mexico to collect some rocks! Annique and I brought back over 200 lbs of rocks in 5 checked bags between the two of us (all free!). Amazingly, at the premier access check-in at El Paso airport, they didn’t even bat an eye. The TSAContinue reading “United Domestic Regional First Class: ELP-ORD (New Mexico Part 4)”
