Whilst travelling back from Grand Cayman I was able to do a deal with a member of American Airline’s AAdvantage scheme to upgrade from Business to First on AA’s new 777-300 aircraft.

AA Arrivals Lounge, London Heathrow
On the way back from the US to Dublin, I knew that there were no showers in the BA UK/Ireland Lounge and so immigrated at Terminal 3, and went to the Arrivals Lounge. There was no line at the (still) operating IRIS machine at Immigration despite several large aircraft arriving at once. There was a…

Some good deals from UK …. for a few more days

Last week, I checked my flights and found that AA had withdrawn its late MIA-SFO flight. (I had hoped to travel…
