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.

Given how little Krister and I do that involves large groups of people (except flying, but the risk there is quite low), weContinue reading “An Autumn Escape (part 9: the end/back to work)”
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)”
Trip to New Mexico- part 1 (UA80 MAN-EWR)
I’m currently on my trip to New Mexico for field work in the Florida Mountains with Dr. Annique van der Boon! We’ve finished up days 1 and 2 of field work now, and we’ve just put together our plan for day 3. It’s going pretty well so far! Here’s the first of our flights forContinue reading “Trip to New Mexico- part 1 (UA80 MAN-EWR)”
