Now it’s time for the main event. British Airways First Class from London to San Francisco! I got to the plane relatively late in the boarding process because of the amount of time that it took to get from the Concorde Room to the C gates (and wanted to take some additional pictures before headingContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India!

2025’s big trip: India! Part 5A: LHR Concorde Room
It’s finally time to finish up the trip to India! I’ve been in the process of moving locally for the last month and so have been bogged down by that, so these have been coming out a bit more slowly than I would’ve liked, but here we are: British Airways First Class from London toContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India!

2025’s big trip: India! Part 5: MAA-LHR
After a week in India, it was time to return to Europe. I don’t generally leave reviews of hotels or destinations, and this time is no different. The summary of my trip is that I really enjoyed visiting the granite temples of Mahabalipuram and really did not like the Somerset Greenways Chennai. The Leela PalaceContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India! Part 5: MAA-LHR”
2025’s big trip: India! Part 4: LHR-MAA
After an overnight layover in London, it was time to continue the journey to India! Because of the way the upgrade voucher works, the previous leg from Belfast was free, and this flight was simply a continuation of that ticket. I spent the night at the off-site Sheraton that is a short bus/uber ride away. Continue reading “2025’s big trip: India! Part 4: LHR-MAA”
2025’s big trip: India! Part 3: BHD-LHR
This next flight is the beginning of my ticket to India: Belfast to London. You’ll notice that I had previously flown into Dublin. I didn’t actually spend any time in Dublin but rather immediately got on a bus to Belfast. Had I booked the same Dublin-San Francisco-Dublin ticket starting instead in Belfast, it would’ve costContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India! Part 3: BHD-LHR”
2025’s big trip: India! Part 2: LHR-DUB
Upon arriving in London and clearing security, I made my way directly to the Galleries First Lounge, which has been featured on this blog numerous times before and will likely continue being featured on this blog for a while because it is the Oneworld Emerald lounge for British Airways at Heathrow. This will be myContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India! Part 2: LHR-DUB”
2025’s big trip: India! Part 1: SFO-LHR on an A380
As readers will probably notice, it’s now travel season for me again! My next set of trips is to India for a wedding. All the flights on this trip were on British Airways, so I’m planning to mix up these flights up with some other posts, so everything is going to be a bit outContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India!

Spring break to Europe! Part 1: BA
For our next flight adventure, we’re heading to London on British Airways. As readers will know, this has been a very common method for me to get to Europe since I moved to San Francisco in 2022. In the case of this trip, my destinations were London, Paris, and Manchester, so this flight, once again,Continue reading “Spring break to Europe! Part 1: BA”
Around the world part 2: London to Madrid
After a few days in London, it was time to head to Madrid to continue the around the world trip! There were one and a half reasons for flying to Madrid. The biggest reason was that it made the long flights (i.e. London to New York and San Francisco to London half the price). TheContinue reading “Around the world part 2: London to Madrid”
Around the world part 1: San Francisco to London
Here begins my next exciting Thanksgiving trip: my first around the world trip! Like a lot of my trips, this trip started at San Francisco International Airport. This initial flight was supposed to be from San Francisco to Phoenix to London so that (a) I’d arrive a bit earlier and (b) earn an additional 40 TierContinue reading “Around the world part 1: San Francisco to London”
