Recently moved to Dubai, exploring what the UAE and further has to offer. Interested in Coffee, Books, Wine, Travel and my dog Jake who takes me for walks.
I’m utterly shocked to read into the details of the new

social media policy. Their staff are the biggest asset to the company creating so much positive content for all to see. I’ve never seen a bad representation of the company as they know they are reflective.
Well this is a contrast to the Hilton suite.
In all honesty for £26 it’s perfect for the night. Clean, warm and cosy with a good bed it more than does the job for some rest
First impressions upon boarding the Qsuite is very lovely on the A359. Yet again the service has been above and beyond so far. Captain just informed us it’s a 6h50 flight and I feel that’s far too short.
Todays Ryanair random seat allocation has got me 2A which appears to be the best seat on the MAX8 as it has legroom without the direct face to face with crew on takeoff/landing.
Thank you
@FlyLoganair
for the experience of being on your last Saab 340 flight LM340 from INV-GLA. It was a real event being a part of it and hearing the love for the aircraft from Nicola and the now retired Captain Eddie Watt.
I have this evenings aircraft in front of me being loaded up with food, 27L departures doing their magic in front of me. What more could I ask for?
I absolutely love the magic of LHR! I have full airside access in DXB but it just doesn’t compare to Heathrow.
EasyJet app is impressive. Live updates on flight delay and shows you the the incoming aircraft’s location.
BA’s app usually can’t even show me my bookings.
I’m in love. What an aircraft!
On G-XLEG for my first A380 flight from FRA-LHR. Enjoying the comfort and amazing view of the giant RR jets on the colossal wings.

That was the best 37 minute flight

! Timo and Adam were just great serving the 6 rows of club with speed and smiles.
Golden ticket time!
Interesting

flight at the back of a full A350. Fantastic hard product, comfortable seat with pillow, blanket and headphones and an outstanding IFE system. The food was simple and delicious, served in lovely eco containers with metal cutlery which elevates the experience.
All boarded and have departed Penzance on tonight’s night riviera service to London Paddington. Our fears of the service being cancelled are over and I’ll be sleeping well tonight in my cabin.
Impressed with the train so far, it’s dry and warm so that’s done it for me.
All aboard BA194 on a very old config 777-300 G-STBB in 1F. Crew have been very obliging so far but they can only apologise so much for the sheer state of the cabin.
This aircraft has been back and forth on the DXB route of recent which really lets the airline down such a route.
I got an email at 06:45 this morning (Sunday) that the LEGO Concorde was finally back in stock in the UAE. I proceeded to order straight away with the next day delivery offered.
I then get a notification it’s been delivered at 11:02am, just over 4h later. Impressive stuff.
Lovely to be back in the Q Suite in 1K. Crew are very welcoming and friendly and tonight’s selection of food makes me glad I didn’t go wild in the lounge.
This is the arrival I’d like every time at GLA.
Joking aside it’s incredible to see the amount of support for the retirement of the Saab 340 aircraft and its hardworking captain

. Lots of emotions flying around with so many memories for all.

ended commercial service and being a inspiration in aviation. Something so ahead of its years, who knows if we’ll have anything equally magnificent anytime in the future.
Just got the knock at the door to housekeeping. “You check out soon?” I’ve not even been for breakfast and have at least 2.5h until check out time.
I see really hate when this happens as if feels like your an inconvenience being in the room you’ve paid for.
Back in a slightly colder, wetter London. Nothing a nice shower and breakfast at the
@British_Airways
arrivals lounge can’t sort. Refreshed and now appropriately dressed for UK
Back on the wonderful

B4320 to DWC. In the exit row seat today that features an ‘ottoman’ for your feet.
Had a PDB that Mannie the Conrad Manta Ray rated highly.
Utterly delicious meal service on
@BeondAirlines
. I love every aspect of the airlines attention to detail, they will be me top choice on any route they operate in future.
My bag might have been out in under 30mins from touching ground which is impressive for T5. Unfortunately it came out a different shape to its previous appearance.
A guy that I’d chatted to on the flights bag came out with the zip bust open and all his belongings on the belt.
And finally I have a dining table. Three jolly guys just came, delivered and built it in a matter of minutes.
No longer need to eat on the balcony every night now the temps are touching below 20°c
For a short flight I couldn’t have asked for much more, faultless from start to finish.
Made my way to the Al Safwa lounge which is one incredibly large expanse of luxury. The EK lounges are awfully dated in comparison.
Back at my favourite Hilton in the UK the TECA in Aberdeen, the suites here are just massive and so cosy.
The pool and leisure facilities are fantastic and the exec lounge provides a 3 hour evening drinks and canapé session with full table service.
All boarded on tonight’s BA126 with 12yo G-STBE with an empty unused F cabin. Only my second time in the club suite too! Got the new style amenity kit and the crew have been lovely so far. Monty the dog and I are very happy that Canard-Duchêne is back.
Very pleasant flight so far on G-NEOW the A321NEO operating BA1308 up to ABZ today. It’s certainly a much nicer day for flying today compared to yesterday!
The salad was delicious as salads go, no menu was handed out so there was no calories involved either 😄.
Made it into the Qatar premium lounge (not frequent flyer) and I rather like it. First of all had a shower that felt like I was in a car wash with water coming from everywhere and now it’s time for some F&B.
Comfortably in 5K this evening for this flight to DOH on 6yo A7-BET. Waiting for our turn to take off with as all flights at Heathrow are currently in a backlog of ATC delays.
Can’t complain when they get excited to see a diamond member at the check in desk and upgrade me to a deluxe sea front villa suite. Will deffo be coming here again after also finding out they are dog friendly, great stuff Hilton Ras Al Khaimah Beach Resort.
Got the car then decided to stop by the Goose island tap house for the almighty Sunday roast banquet. Beef wellington and help yourself, food coma incoming. Not sure I’ll have space for the dessert section
Back at the beautiful Zayed International, great to see the presence of BA again at AUH. Immigration and security was basically a continuous walk though and got to the Pearl lounge within 10 mins of arrival.
Had the most fantastic first

flight to
@HelsinkiAirport
this morning. Comfortable seat in 1A, delicious food and impeccable service from the crew. By far one of my very best flying experiences.
Car dumped at the doubletree, they already game me a room they had ready at 7am. Checked in and awaiting my flight in the EDI BA lounge having a proper Scottish breakfast of tablet and whisky.
Happy birthday to my best mate Jake who’s 11 human years old today. Thank you so much for being the best doggo everyday and always being there for me.
Sorry I’m not with you today to celebrate but I’ll be bringing you lots of treats and presents back from the UK soon.
Delicious stuffed chicken breast in Club Europe. Would love to have know a few more details but no menu was provided, crew had to repeat the selection to each person.
The interior is most resplendent with its 44 luxury seats. Welcomed aboard with a chilled glass of Veuve and a hot towel as we settle in.
What would you be selecting on the menu?
