The reflections of an infrequent frequent flyer

Is Avis at T5 the best car hire set up ever?

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?

#7flightstoABZ – Day 1 – Sofitel Heathrow T5

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

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

Episode 1 – Afternoon tea over the Irish Sea

The first part of the trip was, for me, heading back to London. As usual, MummyAirmiles is writing in italics. As readers will know, MummyAirmiles is joining up with MisterAirmiles on a few days’ jaunt round Europe, experiencing different planes and their various versions of business class travel. Bring a retired lady of leisure and… Read More Episode 1 – Afternoon tea over the Irish Sea

Is my £225 on airport transfers good value?

The Heathrow Express is one of many ways to get to the airport but it is my favourite. Last year I wrote an article on it with a comparison to other options, and it has got even better. There is now the option to buy tickets in advance and the further ahead you book, the… Read More Is my £225 on airport transfers good value?

Booking a flight that doesn’t exist

I was chatting to some friends at the weekend who had been to New York in the half term. Naturally, after hearing about their trip, I asked who they flew with; I was not expecting Kuwait Airways to be the answer! This is surprising for a number of reasons; not least because the flight shouldn’t… Read More Booking a flight that doesn’t exist

Could booking as a group save you money?

I have recently been trying to plan a school trip to New York. As a geography teacher, I firmly believe in the positive benefits of a field trip and how travel can broaden peoples’ mind sets. Sadly it was not possible to make it happen this time, but I am hoping that a trip closer… Read More Could booking as a group save you money?

GUEST POST: MummyAirmiles is back on UK Soil

Currently sitting in the Concorde Room thanks to the inbound leg in First and a connection up to Edinburgh having had a very pleasant flight from Rio. Best sleep on an airplane I’ve ever had! Sadly no photos from the front of the plane. It was a full 14 passenger’s complement this time. We took… Read More GUEST POST: MummyAirmiles is back on UK Soil

GUEST POST: MummyAirmiles shuns the Concorde Room

The Sofitel Hotel at Heathrow is very convenient for T5. We had a large room, with a very comfy bed. The downside was the air conditioning was a bit noisy, so we switched it off and consequently roasted during the night!  Not the best night’s sleep we have ever had. Breakfast in the Club Millesime was delicious,… Read More GUEST POST: MummyAirmiles shuns the Concorde Room

GUEST POST – MummyAirmiles jets off again

Clearly 3 months is too long for my parents to go without a holiday, so it is with pleasure that I introduce the next instalment of MummyAirmiles and her travels – South America is on the cards this time. A new large suitcase has been bought for this trip, and managed to 22kgs in it.… Read More GUEST POST – MummyAirmiles jets off again
