After a stay at the Berlin JW Marriott Hotel, it was time for me to begin my return trip to the US. Last time I went to Berlin, in April 2022, I flew from Berlin to Warsaw to London in Business Class on LOT that I had purchased as a United award ticket. At thatContinue reading “Berlin to Warsaw: the sequel”

Tiny French Airport back to London: Ryanair
After Valerie and my short time in Carcassonne, which is a very cute city, it was time to return to London. In both Toulouse and Carcassonne, we stayed in pretty generic hotels, and so I don’t have much to report. This flight was approximately as eventful as the TGV ride to Carcassonne, which is toContinue reading “Tiny French Airport back to London: Ryanair”
London to Toulouse two different ways
Following trip to Bucharest, my best friend Valerie arrived from the US. She and I planned a short trip to southern France as part of her visit. We went to Toulouse (for the Airbus factory) and Carcassonne (to see the walls). The best flights we found were on BA to Toulouse and Ryanair back fromContinue reading “London to Toulouse two different ways”
Heathrow Terminal 3: Qantas lounge and flight to Billund
After finishing at the Cathay Pacific lounge, I decided to check out the Qantas lounge. The Qantas lounge is right next door to the Cathay Pacific lounge, so I didn’t have to go far. I’ve previously read that the Qantas lounge is on par with or better than the Cathay Pacific lounge, but I wasContinue reading “Heathrow Terminal 3: Qantas lounge and flight to Billund”
Spring trip to the East Coast (round 3: little hop to DC)
After a long weekend in Boston visiting some friends, it was time to hop over to DC for another adventure. The flight from Boston to DC is one that I’ve done a few times in the past. Flights on this route (along with Boston – New York LaGuardia and New York LaGuardia – DC) haveContinue reading “Spring trip to the East Coast (round 3: little hop to DC)”
Guest post: San Francisco to New Orleans and back!
Today we’ve got a guest post from Valerie, who recently flew from San Francisco to New Orleans (and back) for a long weekend. On the way out, she flew on United flight 2462, which was a 737-900ER (registry: N66803). Valerie is not one to spend longer at airports than needed, and so she didn’t botherContinue reading “Guest post: San Francisco to New Orleans and back!”
Return to London during Storm Franklin
After a nice weekend in Dublin, where I saw some friends, stayed at the Aloft Dublin City, went on the Guinness tour, and went shopping, it was time to return to London. I flew from Dublin to London Gatwick on an Aer Lingus A320 (EI-GAM). At the time of booking this ticket, Aer Lingus flightsContinue reading “Return to London during Storm Franklin”
October 2021 domestic flights round up
During my October trip to the US, I took a handful of ‘normal’ domestic flights. These flights were: LAX-IAD on United, RIC-CLT-CLE on American, and CLE-EWR-RIC on United. During the pandemic, I have generally booked first class flights because the prices haven’t been that much higher, and having a little extra personal space is extremelyContinue reading “October 2021 domestic flights round up”
London to Boston– one of the shortest transatlantic flights
After the brief hiatus due to changing jobs, I managed to get a few trips in. Since planes are now a bit more full (especially in the pointy end), I haven’t been able to find flights that are quite as exciting as earlier this year (at a reasonable price point). This trip to the USContinue reading “London to Boston– one of the shortest transatlantic flights”
(Surprise trip) back to Finland… in two flights
I hadn’t expected to be writing another post so soon after my trip to the US. However, life happens, and Krister and I needed to go to Finland for the holiday season. When we went to book the trip, there were a couple of options, but all were rather expensive. Initially, the flights on SaturdayContinue reading “(Surprise trip) back to Finland… in two flights”
