Mister Airmiles

The reflections of an infrequent frequent flyer

Month: July 2016

Episode 2 – The first wide-body and the perfect airport hotel

We had arrived onto the plane and a short delay turned into a big one. We had missed our slot and there was an issue with a door that wasn’t closing properly which needed to be check out by Engineering. Once cleared, we took off about 90 minutes late. The plane was an Iberia A340-300… Read More Episode 2 – The first wide-body and the perfect airport hotel

MummyAirmiles joins me on a wide-bodied jet tour of Europe

The last time I went on holiday with my Mum was August 2007.

Accelerating to another bonus with IHG

I wrote about my last IHG Accelerate promotion here. I didn’t do well, as I didn’t read the T&Cs carefully enough. It boiled down to a points and cash night tracking for that part, but not as one of my total nights stayed, meaning I missed out on the completion bonus. It wasn’t too serious… Read More Accelerating to another bonus with IHG

When things don’t go to plan – my first experience of IRROPS

Irregular operations occur when things go wrong for whatever reason. In my case, it was the cancellation of my flight back from Nice. A planned air traffic control strike meant that BA were asked to reduce some of their services the day before, which meant us. I got a text and email at about 1600… Read More When things don’t go to plan – my first experience of IRROPS
