Here's my schedule:

DUB-HEL-LHR 2nd Sept 2015
LCY-JFK 3rd Sept 2015
JFK-PHX-HNL 4th Sept 2015
HNL-LAX-IAD 9th Sept 2015
IAD-LHR 10th Sept 2015
LHR-HEL 11th Sept 2015
HEL-DUB 12th Sept 2015

I don't think I have enough posts to edit the wiki so if someone wants to add it that would be great
That's great to hear! I see you went full-on with the addition of HEL and some interesting routing via IAD on the way back. Welcome aboard the BA1 on Sep-3rd! Hooray!^

Looking forward to it now! It will be my first time on the babybus and went through IAD to get the A380 routing on the way back ^

A very fun TP efficient way!


It didn't actually start out as a TP run, but as a holiday suggested by Mrs BBA. When I realised the TP potential and explained the possibility to get close to a Gold card, she was even more interested.

Similar itinerary to you, Chris1979

28-Nov BA417 LUX LHR
29-Nov BA217 LHR IAD
30-Nov AA263 IAD LAX
01-Dec AA31 LAX HNL

5-Dec AA162 HNL LAX
5-Dec AA30 LAX JFK
6-Dec BA174 JFK LHR
7-Dec BA418 LHR LUX

So it looks like we're in HNL at the same time for the briefest of periods. I arrive 12:10 HST on the AA31.

HNL / US gateway meet up thread (TP run or not)

I am quite tempted to look at a trip (weekend or long weekend) to ANC actually. Never been but imagine it's quite nice / different.
