After my short flight from Manchester, I headed for passport control. Unfortunately, my flight arrived at about the same time as flights from the United States, so the “other” passport line was extremely long and slow. I explained to the agent that I had come in from Manchester and was on my way to the United States,Continue reading “Spring Break to Europe Part 2B: Aer Lingus to SFO!”

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”
Backtracking through New York. This time on American!
On the way back from DC, I was once again heading through NYC. This time, however, I was flying American Airlines, which can only mean one thing on this blog. Yep, it’s another Flagship First Transcontinental review! This review is split into two parts because I’ll use this first part as my review of theContinue reading “Backtracking through New York.

DeltaOne Transcontinental Part 2: DeltaOne Lounge (JFK-DCA)
After arriving at JFK off my DeltaOne flight, I made a beeline for the DeltaOne lounge. For many years, Delta only offered SkyClubs as its lounge option, even for international Business Class. However, this changed in 2024 with the opening of the first DeltaOne lounge at JFK. Two more quickly followed in Boston and LosContinue reading “DeltaOne Transcontinental Part 2: DeltaOne Lounge (JFK-DCA)”
DeltaOne Transcontinental: SFO-JFK
Just a couple weeks after my short trip to LA, I had my next (actually planned) trip! I had found the tickets for this journey several months in advance. My favorite time to travel is late January/February because the flights are usually cheaper, less full, and more upgrades are available. For those keeping track, asContinue reading “DeltaOne Transcontinental: SFO-JFK”
San Francisco to LA, two ways on Alaska Airlines
After returning from the East Coast, I didn’t even make it two weeks before it was time to fly again. This trip was just a short weekend trip to Los Angeles. I booked it the night before the flight, so as soon as I paid for the ticket, it was time to check in. TheContinue reading “San Francisco to LA, two ways on Alaska Airlines”
2024 retrospective

I use a webapp, BA97.com, to capture all my flights, some of which don’t actually make itContinue reading “2024 retrospective”
Around the world part 4: Seoul to Tokyo
After a few days of hiking and shopping in Seoul, it was time to return to the United States. My onward flight left from Tokyo Haneda airport, so I needed to get there with enough time to spare to clear transit security, and in addition, I was unsure if I would need to collect andContinue reading “Around the world part 4: Seoul to Tokyo”
Around the world part 3: Madrid to Seoul
After an overnight stay in Guadalajara, Spain (which is near Madrid), it was time to head back to the airport. I had arrived in Spain at around 6 pm and then my flight to Seoul departed at 9 pm, so I was in Spain for just over 24 hours. I enjoyed my time at theContinue reading “Around the world part 3: Madrid to Seoul”
