Entering Terminal 7 from the AirTrain, I headed to the far left hand side where the first-class checking area is located.

As most of my flying originates in London, I rarely go through flight connections.

It struck me the other day that, with the purchase of flights for Christmas 2018, I have… Read More I’ve just spent my millionth Avios!
