Further, I can guarantee you within a day of doing this TP run, you will stop shaving and not need all that shaving foam.



HAVE FUN!

And the crew member looking after us has assured us she'll take special care of us especially as it's VFRs first time in this sort of seat.
sounds like a great crew (as I usually find on BA) - so what seat you get then?

Great news on the upgrade! It will give you guys the perfect chance to get properly acquainted and kick the bromance off in style

I'm in Orlando at the moment and about to drive down to Miami for the weekend with Ms Monkey. I should get there early afternoon. Give me a shout when your flight arrives and, assuming you clear immigration in a reasonable amount of time, I'll send an Uber to pick you up. You guys can join us in South Beach for a couple of hours and we'll have some monster mojitos to kick the trip off in style I'll message you my mobile number in case you don't have it anymore...

One Live TR With Pics – Two Different Perspectives on AMS–HNL

Great great flight. Full report and lots of pics to come from lounge.

There's a golf buggy shuttle for F pax in MIA (gate was far away) and immigration with the ESTA machines a breeze.

Now needing to decide whether to join Filthy in South Beach for a few hours (rather than posting trip from lounge).
