Great report there Schofs!
Really enjoyed reading it! All these reports on tier point run's in the middle east make me seriously think about trading in my AA card and start going for BA Gold. Looks like you had a great time out there.
I totally agree about how nice it is to have a car waiting for you when you land at FRA. I flew LHR-FRA-YYZ on LH in Oct 05 and when i arrived in FRA at a remote stand i had a car waiting for me and man holding a sign with my name on it! Really made for a fantastic ground experience! It really is good.
One other OT point. You say you work in St Pauls? What area out of curiosity? My step dad works in Paternoster Square just opposite St Pauls and i know the area pretty well.
Cheers,
Chris
