For those who have been following, this is my sixth flight on my six part, 72 hours, all points odyssey . And yes, I am well aware that this is the second flight review of the six, but it's just that g ood. Today's flight was on Virgin Atlantic's A330-900neo aircraft in Upper Class, and let me just say this, it was a pleasure to review.

Who says airport hotels have to be boring? We kicked off our latest getaway, a milestone birthday celebration for Sam (hello, 30!), with an overnight stay at the Sofitel London Gatwick, and let’s just say... our expectations were pleasantly turned on their head. A truly good airport hotel is hard to find but we definitely found one in the Sofitel London Gatwick Let’s be honest: airport hotels are a gamble. Some surprise you (looking at you, Sama-Sama at Kuala Lumpur Internati

The British Airways American Express Credit Card (a.k.a. the “free one”) has always been a decent way to quietly rack up Avios, but it’s...

Back in February of 1993, two momentous occasions occurred. Firstly, I was born, on the 27th of the month, which is obviously the most important moment from February 1993. But what also happened five days earlier, and really you will see how it pales in comparison, is that Virgin Atlantic opened its Clubhouse at Heathrow Airport. And while that might sound impressive, I think we can all agree it pales in comparison to my arrival! The Upper Class Wing includes a fantastic mode

As you know, I was on a journey of six flights in 72 hours to prove how easy it is to use the points you've been saving up so diligently. This was before the first flight on the trip, aboard British Airways Club Europe to Budapest . For those who don't know, Club Europe is the name British Airways gives its short haul business class. Despite Terminal 5 being "the home of British Airways", they operate a surprising amount of flights from Terminal 3, flying to 28 destinations.

Whether I’m jetting off for a cheeky weekend getaway or a whirlwind city break, my short-haul carry-on bag is always packed with a few...

This was the first flight of my six fights in 72 hours, an all points odyssey . It would be fair to say that I was a little bit nervous coming into this, I didn't have a huge amount of leeway in case something went wrong. Reassuringly, the weather was on my side with a glorious English summers day. I will fight anyone who says winter is supreme. First up, a review of British Airways Club Europe on an Airbus A320 to Budapest. A great day for flying How did I book? I booked thi

Travel is amazing. Travel is supposed to be fun, dynamic, an adventure. It’s that blissful experience of willingly strapping yourself into a pressurised flying cylinder, hoping you won't get seated next to someone loudly eating a boiled egg or watching TikToks without headphones. Travel rocks, travelling with a dietary requirement doesn't always! But for those of us with dietary requirements, in my case the joys of flying with lactose intolerance, it’s not just about survivi
