Hilton Dublin Airport – Revisited
Some weeks ago I reviewed the Hilton Dublin Airport. You can read this review here. On that occasion I paid a little extra and had a nice suite. This stay was much shorter and so I just went with the ordinary room I had booked. In truth the room was fairly large for an airport…
Etihad Airways, Abu Dhabi to Dublin
As part of the mistake fare from the Seychelles to Dublin I flew Etihad for the first time, on the AHU to Dublin segment. In truth the flight left around 2am and so I slept much of the way, so you won’t get much of a report this time I am afraid. We boarded on-time,…

British Airways, London to Berlin
I arrived at Terminal 5 fairly early and used the North Security Checkpoint, entering through the Fast Track line. It took right to the far end of the security lines, and there were 10-15 people in line for the single machine working. I was able, with another passenger, to slip under a barrier to a…
South African Airways Business Lounge, JNB (Baobab)
