Well the tiredness is having an effect as I started to nod off in the lounge after chris1979 left. Currently in the air between LAX and LAS and this is the first flight I have had with wifi on this trip. Gate to gate to time looks like 60 mins. Drink service only due to flight time.

Have made it back to SFO - 10 flights in 2 days. Exhausting but great fun.
Enjoy the rest of your travels.

Good to meet you as well. I thought my 16 flights in 7 days was tough! Enjoy your flights home.

Still a few hours behind. Just got to flagship in LAX.
As foretold by Karfa, there was some turbulence, but we still landed about 45 minutes early, meaning that I had plenty of time to go landside for a ciggie ;-). Turns out there's a door marked American Flagship next to the smoking area which leads straight to a lift up to security (requires you to already have your boarding pass, and to educate the door guardian what Emerald means).
Not looking forward to killing five or six hours in MIA tomorrow morning before STT flight - just hope I don't doze off and miss it!

Just one data point which may be of interest to some as I know there problems previously... TPs and Avios are posting from AA flights just as quickly as if they were BA ones (so far !)

Hi flibby. Was just looking at your flight to see when you arrived in MIA and if there was enough overlap to meet. I notice aa1178 is showing as delayed by 10 hrs. Really hope that's wrong.

Yes I was just about to head down to the gate and it's now showing 9am tomorrow instead of 10.45 tonight. There is an 11.55 service too though and lounge guardian is trying to sort me out now. Fingers crossed ....

Apparently 11.55 is full so he's trying to get me there via a variety of other routes but with no joy so far.
There's another guy here who was supposed to be on the same flight. He started kicking off big time, but having seen that I appear to be getting priority whilst being very placid about it all, he has now apologised for his earlier outburst in an attempt to get some more attention. It makes for a fun floor show while I'm waiting ;-)

Currently sat in HNL Admirals waiting to connect to lax. I've had 9 hours here wandering around and swimming, currently exhausted. Not really up for the slog down to STT. Hoping for a sleepy trip over to LA, going to break out the travel pillow.

Hi wonderman. Sounds like a tough day for you especially if you are already tired at HNL. The 757s from HNL to lax are not that easy to sleep on. Just arrived at Mia and boarding to SJU in 20 mins. I think when I get there I am just going to go to bed.
