The reflections of an infrequent frequent flyer

Vegas2017 – Part 2: The Manchester stop-over

I wanted to start this trip in Copenhagen to save money, but also need to be in Manchester to get to Wakefield fora family party. I therefore took advantage of the <24hr stop-over rule which meant that I could depart on a flight from Manchester at 11am as long as I arrived into Manchester after… Read More Vegas2017 – Part 2: The Manchester stop-over

Vegas2017 – Part 1: The Copenhagen Shuffle

As I wrote here, I had decided to head to Las Vegas in the Easter holidays for some sun, warmth and to explore a bit of the area that I had not seen when I went before. I booked the trip starting in Copenhagen, with a detour to Manchester for an unmissable family commitment before… Read More Vegas2017 – Part 1: The Copenhagen Shuffle

MisterAirmiles’ guide to 36 hours in Tallinn

Tallinn is the capital of Estonia and one of the newest routes on British Airway’s network. In the run up to the launch (and presumably unrelated!) there was a superb fare, offering a return business class fare for about £235, earning 200TP if routed via Helsinki as opposed to the 80TP if direct to Tallinn.… Read More MisterAirmiles’ guide to 36 hours in Tallinn

GUEST POST – MummyAirmiles Reviews her West Coast trip

Mum has been reporting back on her trip round the western USA, encompassing many of the things I have done, and some more besides! I have asked her to reflect on the trip and to let us know what she might do differently or keep the same if she were to do it again. Our… Read More GUEST POST – MummyAirmiles Reviews her West Coast trip

GUEST POST – MummyAirmiles finally arrives home!

My IHG status gave us the benefit of a late checkout, which was ideal as our flight home was at 1930. We took a taxi from the hotel to the nearest BART station (Bay Area Rapid Transport) near Union Square, where for $8 .50 each we were whisked to the San Francisco International airport, a half… Read More GUEST POST – MummyAirmiles finally arrives home!

GUEST POST – MummyAirmiles does San Fransisco

Heading for San Francisco from Yosemite was a drive of about 5 hours. It was OK, but several hours out the traffic started to build up and it seems that it was a very large city, sprawling for miles. Actually it isn’t, but the surrounding  areas of Oakland,  San Jose etc made it seem neverending. … Read More GUEST POST – MummyAirmiles does San Fransisco

GUEST POST – MummyAirmiles sees Sequoia

Our next stop was Sequoia National Park, high in the hills. This was a 4 hour drive which involved a police diversion, which worked pretty well and we saw some lovely countryside. The road was very twisty, but good as we climbed ,eventually, to 7500ft. We stayed at Wuksachi Lodge, booked via our travel agent… Read More GUEST POST – MummyAirmiles sees Sequoia

GUEST POST – MummyAirmiles lodges at Tenaya

So far, we have had a wonderful trip round the ‘grand circle’ of the American west. I consider this ‘part 1 ‘ of our trip, culminating in a 2 day stay in Vegas, and a trip to the Hoover Dam. Moving on to’ Part 2′ was a trip to Death Valley, where we knew it… Read More GUEST POST – MummyAirmiles lodges at Tenaya

GUEST POST: MummyAirmiles arrives in Las Vegas

Las Vegas – well, what can I say?! Extravagant, gaudy, OTT. Certainly an experience! And… I spotted a Starbucks! 9 days in the USA and this was my first glimpse! Contrary to belief they are not on every corner! We were staying at the Venetian. An enormous hotel with thousands of suites (all rooms were suites)… Read More GUEST POST: MummyAirmiles arrives in Las Vegas

GUEST POST: MummyAirmiles explores Zion National Park

Zion National Park is lovely. It’s a small park restricting visitors to parking outside the park and using shuttle buses inside. We approached Zion from the north, having just come from Bryce Canyon. The last few miles… Wow! What a drive! Down through red rock on a twisty road cut through the rock, with steep… Read More GUEST POST: MummyAirmiles explores Zion National Park
