One of the things I’ve found interesting living in the UK is that there are two bank holidays in May—one at the beginning (roughly corresponding to May Day) and one at the end (usually overlaps with Memorial Day in the US). For the Early May Bank Holiday, I went to Portugal. This year, however, theContinue reading “Memorial Day/Jubliee trip to the US”

Spring trip to the East Coast (round 1: London to Miami) on an A380 in Club World
For spring break this year, my parents invited me back to Miami. Before COVID, my parents and I used to go to Palm Springs each March to go watch the Indian Wells tennis tournament. Because of COVID, we haven’t been able to, so instead we decided to go to Miami because a) it was lessContinue reading “Spring trip to the East Coast (round 1: London to Miami) on an A380 in Club World”
Washington Dulles (IAD) Polaris lounge review
The first trip report of 2022 is going to be a bit different from the others! This report covers my trip from Washington DC to London, and I decided to do something a bit different because I slept for the entire flight and so can’t comment on the inflight service. Originally, I had been planningContinue reading “Washington Dulles (IAD) Polaris lounge review”
Ending 2021 on a great note: United Polaris London – DC
After a long year, I have one final flight to report on. For those who’ve been keeping track of my flights this year, it’s been quite the roller coaster. I started the year in Finland. I flew in First Class on British Airways and back on American to go get a vaccine. I then cameContinue reading “Ending 2021 on a great note: United Polaris London – DC”
MIA-LAX Flagship Business Transcontinental
After a short stay in Boston, I joined my parents in Miami to sit by the beach and play some tennis. Generally when I travel, I’m either staying at a friend’s place or only around for a day or two, so I don’t usually write hotel reviews. We stayed at the Ritz-Carlton in Key Biscayne.

An Autumn Escape (part 8: back to Europe)
After my overnight stay in New York (and watching the election), I got an Uber to New York’s JFK airport to finish up my trip, with two flights from JFK to London Heathrow to Helsinki. This is the second half of my initial ticket from Stockholm to San Francisco, so it was booked in businessContinue reading “An Autumn Escape (part 8: back to Europe)”
An autumn escape (part 4: New York to San Francisco)
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 “An autumn escape (part 4: New York to San Francisco)”
An autumn escape (part 3: London to New York)
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 “An autumn escape (part 3: London to New York)”
