Intro...

Yes its not the most efficient itinerary but I wanted maximum comfort for this one and zero time off work. Why am I doing this? GGL time :D

Planes - BA E170, BA A319, AA 77W, AA 321T, AA 757

I have a rucksack only with me with the essentials needed, and an unlimited GoGo inflight WiFi pass sorted for updates :D

I have reserved the main J cabin outbound on the 77W and the mini cabin on the way back - both right hand window seats.
Don't expect as much text as madfish but I will hopefully keep this up to date with thoughts and pictures :)

Next stop LCY, ETA 7:15pm ^

Enjoy!

Looking forward to reading it.

No babybus this time?

Pictures would be good. I need to add some to mine and finish it off.

Enjoy.

We are en route to HI ourselves.

I'm starting a TP run DUB-HNL tomorrow, with the LCY-DUB positioning flight this evening. I think I'll share the DUB-LHR flight tomorrow morning and also the return leg on Monday.

Perhaps we can do joint before / after comparisons to see who has fared better :)

Looking forward to the updates in any event.

Cheers

Mark

LCY is packed! Took 35 mins from moorgate and 5 mins through security. Now at the bar waiting for the gate :)

Yup, quite rammed at present. I'll try and get a snap of your flight taking off. Currently sat by the windows near the gates.

Safe travels and have fun!

Looking forward to your reports for our similar trip.

Arrived safely.... uneventful flight from LCY. Only 2 rows of CE for a full flight.
Walk to the radisson was quick and now sat back at the bar :)

Boarding at LCY can only be described as a bundle....complete shambles.

Tomorrow DUB to LHR has 10 rows of CE :o
