Trip Report: British Airways 777-200 Premium Economy | Houston to London Heathrow

Trip Report: British Airways 777-200 Premium Economy | Houston to London Heathrow

Making my way to London for a long weekend, my in-flight product would be British Airways on the 777-200 in Premium Economy from Houston to London Heathrow. I’ve reviewed the British Airways 777-200 experience in Club World but it’d been a while since I’d been aboard a British Airways 777. Premium Economy is branded as World Traveller Plus but I will refer to it as Premium Economy in this review. The Cabin: Configured in a four-class arrangement (First, Club World, World Traveller…

Finding Your Alaska Airlines Record Locator Booked on American Airlines

Finding Your Alaska Airlines Record Locator Booked on American Airlines

I’ve previously shared a handy tip for finding your OneWorld record locator booked on American Airlines. But what about an Alaska Airlines record locator booked on American Airlines? Alaska Airlines isn’t a part of any of the major airline alliances but they do partner with quite a few OneWorld carriers. Airlines may reference these as various terms: Record Locator. Booking Reference. Booking Confirmation Number.  When you are attempting to manage your booking or make seat selections, you’ll find that using your American…

Trip Report: British Airways 747-400 Economy Class | Dallas to London

Flying one of my most frequent routes, Dallas to London, I’d be flying aboard the Queen of the Skies aboard a British Airways 747-400 in Economy Class. While I prefer the upper deck on the 747, I snagged an off-peak award with British Airways Avios that I couldn’t pass up for only 16,250 Avios points one-way. Award Booking Cost Points Used: 16,250 British Airways Avios Taxes and Fees Per Ticket: 153.10 USD Total Cost: 16,250 BA Avios + 153.10 USD…

Trip Report: British Airways Club Europe | A321 | London Heathrow to Madrid

Trip Report: British Airways Club Europe | A321 | London Heathrow to Madrid

After a nice Business Class flight with American Airlines from DFW to London, the final leg of my journey would be from London Heathrow to Madrid. I’d be flying about British Airways in Club Europe aboard an Airbus A321, a workhorse of BA’s intra-Europe fleet. I had about a three hour layover at Heathrow and I spent most of my time in the Galleries First Lounge in Terminal 5. Although, ideally, I would have rather spent my time in the…

Lounge Review: Galilei VIP Lounge | Pisa International Airport

Bound for London, my sister and I were flying British Airway from Pisa to London Heathrow after wrapping up a nice time in Florence and the surrounding region. While we were staying in Florence, there a more flight options out of Pisa than the Florence airport. Plus, award availability on British Airways was much better from Pisa. After riding the train from Florence, we took the brand new Pisa People Mover to the airport. The ride takes less than 5…

Trip Report: British Airways 777 Club World | DFW to London Heathrow

Thanks to the joint transatlantic venture between OneWorld partners American Airlines and British Airways, there isn’t a shortage of flight options between Dallas (DFW) and London Heathrow (LHR). We had purchased tickets from Dallas to Budapest in British Airways Business Class cabin (branded as Club World) for a fantastic cash price. We were looking forward to the experience in 777 Club World and our trip to Budapest. Our journey started in the Amex Centurion Lounge at DFW but ultimately spent most…

Lounge Review: oneworld Business Class Lounge LAX

After a long light from Hong Kong, I found myself with a long layover at LAX. With time to kill, I decided to check out the oneworld Business Class Lounge LAX in the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT). I had access to the more upscale Qantas First Lounge in the same terminal but I wanted to sample something new. Access to the oneworld Business Class Lounge LAX access is permitted to oneworld elites with Sapphire or Emerald status or those traveling in…

Lounge Review: British Airways Terraces Lounge | Berlin Tegel

Lounge Review: British Airways Terraces Lounge | Berlin Tegel

After a nice long weekend in Berlin, it was time to fly from out Berlin’s Tegel Airport (TXL). Arriving a bit early, we decided to spend some time in the British Airways Terraces Lounge in Terminal A. TXL is an older airport but I love the clean, yet brutal design of hexagonal terminal, a throwback to the 1960s. However the layout at TXL is a bit confusing to the unfamiliar passenger. The location of the Terraces Lounges is a bit vague…

Trip Report: British Airways 747-400 Economy Class | Boston to London

Making our way to Florence for a siblings trip, my sister and I found ourselves in British Airways’ 747 Economy Class from Boston to London. A short hop just over 6.5 hours, the flight from Boston to London is on the short end of transatlantic flights. I flew in this same cabin and aircraft from London to Dallas just about 2 months ago. We had arrived from DFW on an American Airlines flight which was quite delayed. We had to move…

Trip Report: British Airways 747 Economy Class | London Heathrow to Dallas

Returning from a weekend in Paris, I decided to select a connection flight back to Dallas to join two friends who headed from London to Dallas. This put me in British Airways 747 Economy Class for the ride home. Even though I enjoy the newer 777-300ER that American Airlines’ flies on this route, I won’t pass up a ride on the Queen of the Skies. After spending a bit of time with my friend at the Galleries First Lounge in Terminal…

Trip Report: Upper Deck Club World on British Airways’ 747 | DFW to London

Bound for Ireland for the Thanksgiving holiday, this particular trip was extra special to me. My Dad has done so much for me throughout my life. Raising me, taking care of me, and helping mold me into the person I am today. In decades past, my dad has traveled to Mexico and Canada with the US Navy but this truly was going to be his first “overseas” trip. I travel so much for my blog and personal travel, but I…

Back From Ireland and a Mini Blogging Break

While a week and a half may not seem like long, I’ve been missing my blog for the last week or two. Partially unplanned, my blogging break has been a bit nice. I’ve been traveling with Chris and my Dad on an Ireland road trip. Although I haven’t taken a break from taking photos and documenting my travels, my writing took a brief pause. Now I’m back and it feels good to get back to post writing. I had the…

Booking Secrets: How to Find Your OneWorld Record Locator Booked on American Airlines

Traveler Question: How do I find my OneWorld Record Locator using my American Airlines Record Locator? I won’t be the first blogger to share this tip with you but it’s information that a lot of travelers are on the search for. For frequent American Airlines flyers like myself, I’m often booked into codeshare flights onto other OneWorld carriers’ flights, with or without AA flight numbers . This includes British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Qantas, and Royal Jordanian. Airlines may reference these as various…
