You're way over on the toiletries. That small nivea shaving gel at the end lasted me almost two weeks. And unless you're covering yourself from head to toe in deodorant, again one of those canisters would be more than sufficient.

Oh, and you do have to get it all into one ziplock bag.

How do all those toiletries fit inside one small plastic bag?

Looking forward to the updates though!

Subscribed, just to see how bad the US A321/757s are - I'll be able to manage my expectations for next April .

Have fun!

Rather geeky I know, but as well as following these TP run escapades, I'd be interested in seeing what photos the BA app displays for all these exotic destinations

I don't think they have photos for a lot of destinations!

My upcoming flight to Sofia has no cityscape, and instead has a picture of an A380...(!)

I'd missed that one in the new A380 routes thread

I'd just take one of each and remember that you're passing through a whole bunch of civilised airports in which you could replenish if necessary.

Happy travels guys - but one thing that baffles me - is Gold really worth so much to you that you're forking out IDK but several thousand quid for this run?

there are people out there who consider flying / airports as the 'holiday'. Whereas I suspect for most, the flying is just a means to get to the holiday. So sometimes TP are a consequence of what some people enjoy doing. Not sure if that's the case here, but it could be...

I don't know the cost of this particular trip, but trips like it have been available for 1,300 - 1,500. I'm sure that I can drink that amount of champagne over the cost of a year in the Flounge

May I ask through which channel you booked this trip?all on one itinerary and how much was it roughly?
Have a great trip
Hi Flyer74

The idea for this trip came about from the TP Run thread here on FT. Structuring the trip was organised through the pervasive use of the ITA Matrix and we had the wonderful help of dutch_122 to get it booked. All in all the trip is costing ~1.4k.
