Guess what? It is friday! I know im bored as im looking up the price of empty legs on private jets. Get a group together, sorted! I'd just need to get better at lying to my wife first. Also thinking of trying finnair from hel-mia to get to gcm, some alright fares coming up. All this ex-eu talk today.... I still need to measure my carry on backpack.

Hammock eh? I'd still like hammock class onboard.
Something unusual has happened - the sun is out in scotland! Not seen it in a few months here. i was watching a flight on approach to glasgow last night from the train right at sunset, that would have been some view out to the isles...
Anyway, more importantly, has jamier made it to LIH?

he's made it to NYC and I will leave it for him to tell his story (not sure how much detail he'll go into in his live TR which doesn't seem very live at the moment). I think he'll be flying onwards to Westcoast and LIH today.
He's not missed any flights out of the last 4 he took though I think what he had planned for NY was the opposite of a sensible early night to make sure he gets his flights......

Can't believe I missed Friday! Though I guess maybe it's still Friday somewhere in the Pacific?
Anyway, hope everyone has a great weekend, I'm on my way to Chicago today and Pittsburgh tomorrow. Safe travels to all in the air.

(the problem with your ex EU is that it doesn't pass through LON on the return-admittedly, I haven't been to Scotland, so I'm not sure what the difference would be between a train ticket from LON and a flight back to where you live.)

Happy Friday everyone, woke up on approach to BRU, now sat in the SN lounge overlooking the golden BA A319, wishing I was on that. Waiting for the short SN hop to LHR T2, quick trip home, repack bags and back to LHR T5 tomorrow for a weeks mountain biking in Switzerland. Throwing myself down mountains is the ideal way to relax after a couple of weeks in the Congo.
oh and its my birthday tomorrow so the CCR champagne breakfast will taste even better than normal

Luckily, I did find one OSLLON for NOK 250 on SK so that I can legitimately complete that one fare without fear of repercussions from BA
