Iberia WiFi connectivity in-plane – even worth considering?
In flight connectivity is all the rage these days, with Gogo offering various all day packages in the USA for $16 upwards, Emirates offering 500mb for a $1, and so on.

Like it did today (although by the time a bus … [Read more...]

I wandered into LHR this morning at the crack of dawn (well - dawn hasn't broken yet, but that's besides the point), and saw a new sign on my travels: 4 hours … [Read more...]
Here we go again (or another 1:15 departure)
Good morning (the clock is over the midnight hour - we're morning as far as I'm concerned) from a windy part of Birmingham as I type this and wait for a taxi..... That can't find where I live. Typical, nor drive in a city he should know. What was that about me trying to support the local black cab trade? Anyoo, as this taxi driver gets lost around Birmingham, I'm … [Read more...]
