Live TP run LCY - ORD, the long way round..

Hi everyone,

I'm off on my first proper TP run tomorrow one day into my new TP year, and wanted to share my journey with you all to repay all the entertainment i've had form others doing the same.

I've set up a blog to allow me to upload on the go from my iPhone, i'm hoping the FT mods won;t mind me linking to a trip report hosted externally. I will try my best to transpose it back into an FT post when i'm back on dry land with a laptop based internet connection.

Wish me luck!

Liam

I have to say this is a great experience already and not even boarded yet. I'm hoping to be able to live upload photos in the flight if the connectivity is quick enoigh...

Good luck with your travels ^

On your blog at the "Background" section, did you really mean this:-
"LHR – BOS BA J with avoid upgrade to F"
and
"JFK – LHR BA J with avoid upgrade to F"

... or just a typo for correction

If not a typo, how do you avoid it!

Keep looking at the LCY flight myself, maybe next year.

Will that BA0001 and 1A be framed and up on the wall when you get back

While 1A may SEEM unattainable to a lot of people, I think I've been able to select it every time I've flown on the LCY-JFK service (in either direction). For various reasons, I have not always done so though...

I have to say, i wouldn't t normally choose 1A, my logic was it was a day flight so was worth it just to get the boarding pass... in the future i will always go for a pair with an empty seat next to me. Row 8 appeals for the flight home..

And on F it's clearly always 2K...
