Glenda sailed through security for Lufthansa, but flunked repeatedly for BA. When we got to the airport, a passenger said she wanted a wheelchair, though she appeared to be perfectly mobile and had boarded the bus with no problems.

  • Heathrow and Home

    October 3, 2018 in England ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F

    We are on the last leg of the journey. First class tickets certainly make check-in and boarding easier. We just spent a relaxing respite in the Admiral’s Club Lounge enjoying a cup of coffee. Now we are at the gate ready to board the airplane to come home. What a fantastic trip this has been!Read more
