My day room expires at 6pm so the current plan is the 6pm hotel shuttle to the airport: I do have my sights set on chilli three way

Thanks for the trip report. I enjoyed this one and your Louisville one from last year. Ironically enough, I was actually on the late running inbound leg of BA121 that took you back to LHR. Not sure if they ever made any announcements at CVG about the reason for the delay, but we were told that they had "trouble" moving the airstairs at the remote stand following our boarding. We then had a slog through some pretty strong headwinds to finally make it to CVG.
Thanks for the pictures of the Escape lounge, that is miles better than the old one. Unfortunately, we left CVG on the 27th so we didn't get a change to use it. That late in the evening, it was always more pleasant to go sit in the terminal than in the old Escape lounge with ever seat filled.
