thoughts of a travelling middle manager

I used to be travelling middle manager in a Chemical Company, that used to be part of a well known Oil Company, but is now owned by a private British Company. I used to take between 150-200 flights a year (see flight count in sidebar), travelling around our sites and offices in Europe & the Middle East. I now have a deskjob in Sharjah, but I will keep making airline travel blogs on this site. A number of people have suggested I keep a blog of my thoughts and observations - so this is it !

trip to the US

Manic Trip to Houston and San Antonio lasting 10 days - here are a few travel observations:

Normal BA inconsistency - Crew Gat-Hou were crap, no service ethic and they even ran out salads. Crew back Hou -> Lhr first class - served everything promptly and regularly -supplied coffee and Port throughout the night trip back to LHR.
Recommend the martinis at Timpano
If you drive from Houston to San Antonio you must stop off in Luling at Luling Bar-B-Q, 709 E. Davis St.Luling, Texas.
Fly Continental back into Houston - it makes transfer across to international flights very easy across George Bush inetrnational airport
Flew back into LHR terminal 4 - Bags only took 15 mins (yes 15 mins and BA didn't lose anything) but BE WARNED - Heathrow Express doss not run to terminal 4, so it's some other service about once very 25 mins back to the main station at Terminals 1,2 &3
Terminal 1 is now bearable now BA has left it. BMI tried losing my bag on the last leg back to Leeds thanks to "stuck baggage belts"
