After arriving at Sea-Tac airport we were ushered up to a special TSA checkpoint for processing. This was the most amazing experience – helpful, friendly, even jokey TSA agents help us through their process. One held my bin whilst I got myself ready for X-ray (no back scatter machines here!). Although I know a couple…
oneworld MEGADO 2012 – day three – all things Boeing
I have to confess that, as a child growing up, jumbo jets meant the Boeing 747 range of aircraft. Aspirational, huge and a plane that spoke to luxury travel to exotic destinations. Its place in history is secure as the plane that opened up international air travel to everyone. It was with excitement that day…
oneworld MEGADO 2012 – dAAy Two
The second day of the MEGADO was all things AA. Starting with a presentation about AA, some inside peeps in to their 777-300 interiors, new safety video and new kiosk interface. We started the day with presentations from several senior executives at AA, covering everything from AAdvantage through to their technology rollout and new offerings…
oneworld MEGADO 2012 – Great First Evening
I was luckier than most as I arrived in Dallas a day early, and did not partake in the London section of the DO. This meant that I avoided the cancellation of the return flight, and the great efforts that AA made to fix things. The evening reception was full of stories of how impressed…
The Signature at MGM Grand, Las Vegas
When I first planned by trip for the few days before the One World MegaDO I planned to go to Las Vegas. I found quite a good deal on a one bedroom suite at The Signature, part of the MGM Complex. I paid about £100, through Jetsetter. (Sponsored Link). I had some referral cash so…
So what is happening with the new United?
Background or “it was all about service” My Mileage Plus account tells me that I have been a member since 15 April 1989. I was 29 and came to visit a friend in the US. In those days British Airways worked closely with United, and my flight to Chicago was on BA, with a connection…
Review: Hyatt Regency Orlando Airport – Jan 2012
I have stayed at this property several times over the past few years. It is well located within the terminal building, and 10 minutes after landing I was at check-in. At check-in it was noticeably busier than I have ever seen it before, as there was a dance event going on in the hotel. This…
Updates – BA London City Service and GroundLink
BA London City to JFK Service I took the LCY-JFK service again this past Thursday, but this time flew on BA3 (the 4pm) departure; I had always taken the BA1 before. Differences I noticed to my last trip (29 Dec) BA3 seems much fuller – City people travelling back to NY seemed to dominate the…
Groundlink offers to make things right for New York buyers.
As I mentioned in my post I contacted Groundlink after I posted about the issue I found with using their fixed price voucher from JFK. I received a reply from one of their team, informing me that I was at fault as the address I had entered was incomplete. This is possible, although I cut…
Groundlink deal on Jetsetter – not quite what it seems
There has been quite a lot of buzz in the last 24 hours on a deal with Groundlink via Jetsetter in the US. The headline deal was offering transfers from JFK to/from Manhattan (and other airports in NY, and across the US) for really good prices, such as $29 or $39. Clever people worked out…
