Earlier in the year I attended a conference in Manchester and I chose to stay at the airport because I knew that I would get parking, could take the train into town and that I would get a cheaper room than in the city centre. I wrote about my time at the pub next to the… Read More My trip on Concorde
We purchased a 5 day New York Pass for think $299 each (There is currently $50 off here). DaddyAirmiles reckoned we saved $150 each on entrance fees so it was well worth it. We bought them months ago and they arrived a week later in the post. This allowed Daddyairmiles to work out a full… Read More GUEST POST: MummyAirmiles’ buys an Access (almost) All Areas NYC Pass
So, here we are on board the Boeing 747 to JFK. It left from satellite gate C and we managed to find our way to the walkway rather than the train. Having walked the walk with MisterAirmiles on our European trek, I knew exactly where to go (it’s not difficult!) We seemed to be the… Read More GUEST POST: MummyAirmiles hops over the pond
MisterAirmiles recently reported on his 36 hours in Copenhagen. We were there also, and staying in the same hotel, so I won’t go into that. Having lived in Denmark for 2 years including a year in Copenhagen, I am reasonably familiar with all the tourist attractions, so chose to spend quite a bit of our… Read More GUEST POST: MummyAirmiles returns to Denmark

Cable Car Museum Whilst the cable cars themselves are expensive, at $7 per ride, the museum on Washington and Mason is free. This… Read More San Free-cheaps-co
As part of the road trip, we stopped in Monterey, on the Pacific Coast, about 120 miles south of San Francisco. I chose this as the main coastal stop off in part because of the distance and in part because I knew that having an InterContinental meant it was where I would like to be.… Read More MisterAirmiles’ guide to 36 hours in Monterey
As it happens, I have taken a return transatlantic flight for the last two years and all have been First Class. Well, 2014 saw me fly on my first First using Avios and a 2for1 voucher in an open jaw LHR-IAD//JFK-LHR. Last year, I flew First from LHR-JFK on my way to Las Vegas. The… Read More How I survived a transatlatic flight – in business class
I needed a hotel for the night when we arrived into San Francisco – the plane landed after midnight UK time, and I didn’t want to be driving having got off a plane where I would have been drinking. There were several options, but I was able to pay for the hotel using points, making… Read More Crowne Plaza San Francisco Airport – not pretty, but excellent.
My trip to California started in Denmark to take advantage of a great sale fare combined with the benefits of ex-EU flying. Initially I had thought about doing a back to back, or spending the night at the airport, but a change in work commitments meant that we were able to have a bit… Read More MisterAirmiles’ guide to 36 hours in Copenhagen
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
