Good afternoon Frankfurt!

by

Good afternoon Frankfurt Airport! Yes, I've made it here, and will shortly be turning tail and heading straight back to London. A pity really... but this is what happens when something runs against you.... More later on, as well as the full comprehensive trip report to come! … [Read more...]

Off we go again!

by

SO the beginning of a trip again - Good morning from Birmingham Airport! (Well I would call it Birmingham International Airport, but the branding team might  come and do evil to me in the middle of the night...)

An interesting morning…

Something that will also have surprises is the Star MegaDO4 flight. And you … [Read more...]

Image - Great Circle Mapper Looking to the map and actual airports, here's a map of the routes - for once, I'm excluding anything that requires a connection The list: London Heathrow - New York John F. Kennedy … [Read more...]

ORD XII – Another lounge

One lounge has semi decent food. The other does not. One has a good view. The other looks like it is in a black pit of hell. Meanwhile - breakfast is served! More hopefully when I've made my first stop... … [Read more...]

ANA International 787 – Pictures and Videos

by

I'm in the process of uploading my pictures from my trip in progress. Alas, the ANA 787 portion is dominating the coverage at the moment (like anyone couldn't guess that was going to happen!). And I've got myself into gear and uploaded the first trance of stuff to this trip. PICTURES: Preparing for the off- … [Read more...]
