Greetings from Heathrow Terminal 3. I'm on my way over to New York for a week. Looking forward to some good converstions there. Not sure how much blogging you'll get out of me though!

By the way, I'm flying United. They've been having a hard time for years now, but this morning they've been nice as pie. So far anyway. All that flying down under on Star Alliance means I've clambered onto the first rung of the loyalty ladder here. But it's the friendliness of the people, not the minor perks, that matters to me.

I guess it's a typo, but the screens at check-in upgraded "Premier" to "Premiere" status. Much more glamorous to be associated with movie stardom than Tony Blair.
