In Transit
Today was and in-transit day, from London back to the States, after being abroad for five weeks.
Fortunately we have some frequent flier miles. We tend to use them on international flights. Today we used them to fly on British Air First Class from London to Boston.
JetSetWay Tip – Allow at least a half hour at the airport to wait in line in order to claim you VAT refund. Generally you get it at the airport, when you fly home from Europe.
As I have said previously, I feel that the difference from Business Class to First Class is not nearly as big as the difference from Business Class to Coach.
One nice treat was that we had a free 15 minute chair massage prior to leaving. That’s worth about $20 probably.
Tonight we ended up in Syracuse, NY. We’ll talk about that tomorrow.
