On my way to Vegas this morning. Had arranged to travel down by train to Gatwick, which was handy since we sold Karen's car on Thursday. If I drove to the airport it would mean walking to school for the boys for the best part of a week - an unpopular outcome for sure.
Very smooth journey in fact - no delays and very short transits at each interchange. The Gatwick Express was as efficient as ever.
The whole journey in 2nd class - something I'm not used to but it's all in the name of bankroll discipline.
Likewise, booked in Economy Class on Virgin for the 10hour flight. Well, I arrived at the ticket desk and made enquires. No seats left in Premium, but for 30,000 miles I can upgrade to Upper Class. Insta-call.
The ticketeer radio'd through to check -- last one ! Seems my luck is in.
From experience I know that securing an upgrade on the return leg is tougher, so it could be a very unhappy return trip if I go broke and get no sleep on the flight back !
