After my short pseudo-Finnair flight to Helsinki, I had an intentionally short layover at Helsinki’s Vantaa airport before connecting onto my Finnair A350 flight back to London. The London Heathrow to Helsinki route is my most commonly flown route in Europe, so I am intimately familiar with the various flight options on this route. FinnairContinue reading “Finnair A350 old style business to London”

Finnair wet lease by Danish Air Transport
I know from experience that very little is open on Sundays in Denmark, so I decided to spend my day enjoying some nice flights instead. I booked my return flight from Copenhagen on Finnair via Helsinki, which might have actually been even more ridiculous than my flight from Berlin to Warsaw to London, haha. FromContinue reading “Finnair wet lease by Danish Air Transport”
TAP Air Portugal Porto to London
For the ‘Early May Bank Holiday’, I took a short trip to Porto for the Bachelor Party of a friend of mine. I booked flights from London to Porto on TAP Air Portugal. I had a few choices of carrier from London, including Ryanair (which my friends flew) from Stansted, British Airways from Heathrow, andContinue reading “TAP Air Portugal Porto to London”
Easter trip to Berlin (part 4: WAW-LHR)
After going the exact opposite direction of London from Berlin to Warsaw, I was ready to go to London. Once inside Warsaw airport, I made my way toward the non-Schengen border control. I stopped by the duty-free store and then had an extremely friendly and efficient border guard who gave me my first Poland stamp! Continue reading “Easter trip to Berlin (part 4: WAW-LHR)”
Easter trip to Berlin (part 3: BER-WAW)
I had a great long weekend seeing my friends in Berlin and getting to know some new friends of friends (who are now friends). Unfortunately, come Monday, it was time to leave them and return to work. They were staying a few more days to go to more events (and because they had much fartherContinue reading “Easter trip to Berlin (part 3: BER-WAW)”
Easter trip to Berlin (part 2: ZRH-BER)
After my chance to try out the A220, I connected directly onto a Swiss flight to Berlin. I had booked myself a 45-minute layover, since I’d read that Zurich airport was very efficient. The incoming flight was delayed by about 10 min, but I wasn’t too worried because I figured I’d either make it orContinue reading “Easter trip to Berlin (part 2: ZRH-BER)”
Easter trip to Berlin (part 1: LCY-ZRH)
While I was in Boston, the two friends I was visiting told me that they were heading to Berlin around the Easter weekend. I have a general policy that if any of my friends show up to Europe, I’ll join them for the weekend. Normally it’s because I haven’t seen them for a while, butContinue reading “Easter trip to Berlin (part 1: LCY-ZRH)”
Weekend trip to Dublin (Storm Eunice edition)
For my first trip of 2022, now that travel restrictions have been eased again with Omicron largely under control. I decided to keep it simple with a short weekend trip from London to Dublin. I picked a great weekend for flying. On the Friday, my flight took off after Storm Eunice had just passed throughContinue reading “Weekend trip to Dublin (Storm Eunice edition)”
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)”
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!”
