Like any Geographer, I am always intrigued to take a look at a map, and the map of My Flightpath is no exception. Tucked away in the corner of the Executive Club home page is a little collection of the flights that you have taken on British Airways. It pulls together some fun statistics and… Read More Exploring My Flightpath
This was my final day of flying for #7flightstoABZ, having flown into Heathrow the day before. It was an early start to drive my hire car back to the airport, but it was a smooth journey, both to Heathrow and through security to the North lounge. The lady on the desk told me that the… Read More #7flightstoABZ – Day 4 – LHR-AMS-LGW-JER-LGW
My few days in Fife had come to an end with an early start and a 0633 train up to Aberdeen and on to Dyce for the airport. The station is just behind the airport so it is necessary to get a transfer. On the way out I took a taxi because it was the… Read More #7flightstoABZ – Day 3 – ABZ-LSI-GLA-LHR
I used JustPark for my parking at Gatwick recently. I had been slightly dubious about the exit procedure, given the fact that the instructions on then website don’t make sense. I got in touch with them to clarify what the procedure was. I felt they were quite slow in getting back to me via DM… Read More JustPark worked – just
I hire a car a few times a year; usually from Nice or Aberdeen and have become familiar with their set up. Both are fairly well connected to the terminal and have good Avis Preferred areas meaning it’s very quick to get behind the wheel. But I think I’ve found an even better one… Avis is… Read More Is Avis at T5 the best car hire set up ever?
Having flown from Gatwick out to Jersey, and then across to Amsterdam and back to Heathow, I stayed the night at the Sofitel Heathrow T5 before embarking on my second day travelling. I had a text message and an email from BA telling me that the flight was very busy and that I could check… Read More #7flgihtstoABZ – Day 2 – LHR-GLA-LSI-ABZ
As part of my #7flightstoABZ trip, I am flying from Glasgow to Heathrow with British Airways on an A320. I had selected an exit row seat at the time of booking for free thanks to my Silver status in the Executive Club. I am not in a rush at the other end, so would always… Read More Is this an unpublished additional benefit from British Airways status?
I am one who likes to plan – I will book 355 days in advance if I can. Usually this is a good way to save money and get the best deals. For example, I know that my room in Yosemite later on this month has gone up by about $100 since I booked. I… Read More Is it always better to book ahead?
I wrote a couple of days ago about why I gave up my Curve Card. It wasnt that there was anything bad about the card, but having had it for a while, I just felt that it didn’t work for me, especially as the Supercard is now back. A little while after the post was… Read More Chatting with Curve
Le Club is the loyalty programme of the Accor hotels – brands like Mercure, Sofitel and Ibis to name but a few. It is not a chain that I am particularly familiar with, but I have been working my way through a number stays to try them out! The loyalty scheme is free to join… Read More Want a free upgrade?!
