In the relentlessly groovy and rather nice Crown lounge at Schiphol, on my way to (checks notes) Humberside. As part of the “all UK Airports” strand. The SAS skyteam status doing its job and a far better experience than the BA AMS lounge, even if they flew to Humberside.

On matters BA, my Peru and Mexico tickets came through. This is for Easter and is ex Jersey returning to Malaga, with the transatlantic legs guffed to F. So yes, I am getting a farewell A380 trip in F. As an aside, this is a good fare: £2000 pp in the summer for J, bit more at Easter but never mind, going to Lima and back from Mexico City. I have one leg more than I really need, returning via JFK which was old world TP optimisation. It’s a bucket list trip and I thought a very OK fare. I really don’t mind giving BA business on this basis.

No GGL involvement, except for having a GUF2. I booked via Propellor essentially. CCR access via F; Chelsea too if we had time. Farewell to fishcakes and snooty staff, I’m with Elvis Costello on Chelsea.
