DFW Skylink – simple transiting

23/09/2014 by Kevincm

BA T1 Domestic Lounge

Good morning from London Heathrow Airport, where I'm in the middle of a longer transit that I've had at Dallas Fort Worth. Oh, and additional thanks to American Airlines messing with the equipment. What was booked for a 777-300 turned into an older 777-2000... and  they desperately need to begin refurbishing those old 777-200s urgently. Yet, transiting DFW on a domestic to … [Read more...]

The Road to BAcon – American Airlines 55 to Las Vegas

22/09/2014 by Kevincm

American Airlines 55

After doing a transit through Chicago O'Hare in 40 minutes (which lets be honest, I should had brought a lotto ticket when I got off the plane), I was in Row 8 of an American Airlines Boeing 737-800. American Airlines 55 is one of those classic US style flights, which operates from an international point to a US point, then has a domestic hop on a totally different … [Read more...]

Want to visit Canada? That’ll be $7 please…

18/09/2014 by Kevincm

One thing I hate when travelling are things like the USA ESTA programme, Australia's ETA programme, or things that pretend not to be a visa when they so blatantly are. Well, it seems from April 2015, you'll be asked to cough up C$7 for what they call an "eTA" to enter the Dominion of Canada. The publicity blurb states that travellers will be able to apply online, and … [Read more...]

17/09/2014 by Kevincm

Aer Lingus Check in at BHX.

Good evening from Dublin's Fair City. Or rather the outskirts of it as I'm in an airport hotel. A quick wrap up from my first flight - with Aer Lingus. Check In. The Serviair team were in good form tonight, with the check in staff joking and chatty. Always a good sign. Even better when they offer you an window seat in an exit row. Security was its usual BHX self - not … [Read more...]
