DEN: The trip in a few lines….

06/12/2011 by Kevincm

Well I'm home from the run. And I'm still tired out from it. So I'm going to quickly review the run in one-line sentences. Aer Lingus - Did the job fine... as usual. United (Continental) DUB-EWR - Pre-clearance is great. A fully loaded 757 is not great for the elbows United (Continental) EWR-LAX - An empty middle seat is an amazing thing. And good company too. United … [Read more...]

DEN: A Belfast Morning

05/12/2011 by Kevincm

Good morning from Belfast international airport/shed. I'm awake...ish, and almost ready for the day. I think a diversion to a coffee shop and wifi may be the best idea... And I can start putting together some of the happenings from this trip. More later on. … [Read more...]

DEN: 1 leg down 2 to go, then 1 for fun…

04/12/2011 by Kevincm

Greetings from the United Club at San Francisco. And where it was cold and freezing in Denver it is of course - hot as heck here. Still we had good time to SFO which always helps. Still, my reason for the stopover has worked out well, and I'm slowly getting ready for the nasty part of the trip. 5 hours in a 737-800 - down the back too. Oh well. Miles never come … [Read more...]

DEN: The wrong way to Belfast….

04/12/2011 by Kevincm

Well it's time to up sticks, and start making tracks again. In the wrong direction of course. A ride in a 757, then the trans-con in a 737-800 to Newark, and another 757 to Belfast. Of course this means going the wrong way, and heading to San Francisco instead. Greetings from the United Club (East... it's an RCC to the rest of us) at DIA. Next post update will … [Read more...]

DEN: What the hell I am doing in LA?

02/12/2011 by Kevincm

(....to quote the old Bran Van 3000 song) Well it's waiting for the next flight... certainly not drinking as the inbound leg was late. I think the only reason why I changed terminal LAX just wanted my non-nude-o-scope visit from the TSA. Shame they never bring you flowers or chocolates. I thought that what you were meant to do when someone tried to get to second base … [Read more...]

DEN: Morning from the BMI Diamond Club Lounge

02/12/2011 by Kevincm

Morning from the lounge.... Where I seem to be the only person here. Oh well. Vodka, Orange, espresso then US pre-clearance... what a way to wake up. And on top of that - 1 and a half hours to pre-clear US Immigration. What a.. yes.   And whilst I have my grumbling hat on, the lack of a Star Alliance Lounge in T2 is a tiny bit of a pain. On the plus side, my … [Read more...]
