Can't wait!
I'm not sure that JER is serious TP Run training, even when doing 2 in a day!

Enjoy the HNL run ... I hope you're staying for a few days? We have to wait until 3 Jan before setting off there [again ]

I'm in Amsterdam now - then back to jersey tomorrow before back to gatwick? Doesn't that count? (Waiting for OH to arrive - he's getting here the sensible way direct from LHR! )

Any ways, Jumping off plane, bussing to terminal, into arrivals hall (help - no transfer signs ) back through security (by now 29 mins to departure) and then legging it over the gatwick bridge to get back on the same plane (same seat, same crew, ) is starting to feel like pretty serious TP Running to me!

The crew were funny ... Welcome back madam please take your usual seat

Bit embarrassing asking for my second bottle of champagne of the morning but hey ho

The HNL run should be fab. We have 6 nights - 4 in HNL and 2 in Maui... Hoping to meet up with Calchas and Tobias UK along with a couple of others! Really looking forward to it...

The BA crews are quite good at that, they know how to make you feel welcome, even if they privately think you are completely bonkers. Once I stayed on a bus past the end of its route because the driver missed my stop, and with shopping it seemed easier to wait for it to come back rather than walk the difference: he thought I was completely insane when I explained myself and he didn't trouble to hide it.

Lovely update, CaroFos ... That sounds very proper for a TP run.

... and watch out for Calchas, he hoovers wine

( sorry, mate, had to be said )

Likewise, a drop to Silver for me in year 3 is another good reason as long as I take my 4 'BA' flights.



I wonder if I'll be in that position in a few years time! I have 2 trips planned to Australia so exit seats are really beneficial to me in Y.
I think you should go for it - and I'd say it is pretty normal. From normally making silver (and gold with some effort) I seem to now be on course for CCR in January. Seems like it never ends... On a recent SkyTeam flight I was annoyed not to have Platinum with them...
