Readers will know that I am London based, and that I love the Heathrow Express, so it will be odd to discover that rather than heading home for the night, I checked into a hotel. My rationale for another ‘micro-break‘ was that I was arriving late and leaving early, which would be difficult on public… Read More #7flightstoABZ – Day 1 – Sofitel Heathrow T5
Arriving in from Jersey, I had to negotiate the transfer process which was relatively painless. Without my carry-on suitcase it was easier. I made my back to the lounge and followed the same procedure as before. There were several people Turing up with their Priority Pass cards and being turned away if they did not… Read More #7flightstoABZ – Day 1 – LGW-AMS-LHR
My alarm clock went off at 0400 which is, in anyone’s book, too early. But needs must. As I wrote here, I decided to drive to the airport instead of take the train, and found a great deal on parking with JustPark. The drive to Gatwick took just over an hour and at that time… Read More #7flgihtstoABZ – Day 1 – LGW-JER-LGW

Good question.… Read More Why take one flight when you can take seven?!

It’s similar to the Supercard, except that it does have foreign exchange fees and you can use an American Express. The ‘game-changer’ for this… Read More Ahead of the Curve? No – I’m leaving it behind!
Normally I take the train to the airport. It’s so quick and easy; regular readers will know how much I love the Heathrow Express! I have an upcoming flight leaving Gatwick at 0715, which probably means being at the airport by 0600. I’ve taken a taxi from home before, but that was about £45 and… Read More JustPark – leaving your car at the airport is cheaper than you think!
