Comment on Dear British Airways by Ben Rogers

So much of this and more – not loading enough meals to give people a choice in a business cabin. Not announcing the gate until last second and thus a scrum or long journey for those in the lounge who should benefit from priority but are suddenly late to the party and perhaps most annoyingly not personally welcoming gold members. This used to be a thing. I’m told by some senior crew that it’s still supposed to be but in recent flight perhaps only 1:20 has this been the case. This little thing does make me feel special and it’s absence is noted. Whilst I have retained my status with BA I’m probably only now doing maximum 20% of my travel (about 80 flights this year) with them. Down from maybe 60-75% previously.

In reply to Carolin Schroeter. I'm always one for a hotel most of the time, but good to think of all the options!

I’ve recently started learning to trade in cryptocurrency. Turns out technical analysis is super important! Controlling emotions is key, and something I’m forever working on. Thanks for this post!

I try to mix up the accommodation experience as much as possible to get the best experience and insights from a place. If I only stay for a few days, I prefer a safe option of a hotel (I travel solo mostly). If time allows, I like to stay in private accommodation which I can rent through friends or acquaintances. Not a fan of Airbnb if I'm honest or couch surfing myself (although I've offered couch surfing in the past and made many good connections). Carolin | Solo Travel Story

In reply to Baby Boomer Super Saver. Thanks for the comment! It's really worth doing! The painted desert and petrified forest is really spectacular. Make sure they are on your list! Ben

I have always wanted to do this trip! As soon as I retire, my husband and I plan to take a long road trip and visit most of the National Parks in the USA. We will add Route 66 to our plan. I will have to check out all of the posts you wrote about your trip on Route 66!

I was one of those who found your blog through the covid post.

I experienced something similar in Munich, what you experienced in return leg of berlin.

Luckily, it wasn’t 2 flights full of passengers.

Nevertheless the post turned to be real useful for me in terms of what to expect while travelling in covid.

Can you fly to the US and help me with my spare bedrooms?! This is beautiful! I love the reclaimed wood wall and the lighting. I’ve always admired people who have an eye and talent for interior design and decor. High fives all the way around! Thanks for sharing!
