Notes from travels

2013

• early to mid December from SEA to Tuscon on Alaskan: A bit bumpy. Full flights.

2014

• 1/13 from SEA to LHR: Nice direct flight on BA. Bumpy near west coast in Canada when going over mountains (the first 2 hours or so). Rest fairly smooth until near UK. Almost all empty seats on 747.

• 2/6 from LHR to HND: Nice direct flight on BA. Only slightly bumpy near UK and quite bumpy past China into Japan. Rest very smooth. Almost all empty seats.

• 2/25 from HND to LHR: Nice direct flight on BA. Bumpy around Japan (first 1 hour or so) but smooth for the rest. Full flight.

• 3/13 from LHR to SEA: Nice direct flight on BA. Bumpy only near west coast in Canada for 30 minutes or so. Rest smooth.

• 3/17 from SEA to BOS: Nice direct flight on Alaskan. Can't remember where it was bumpy but I think it was fairly smooth. Completely full flight.

• 3/24 from BOS to SEA: Early direct flight on Alaskan. Took a taxi to the airport. It was a smooth flight. Completely full.

• 5/15 from SEA to LHR: Overbooked on Delta. Took the voucher for 600. Rescheduled for 5/19.

• 5/19 from SEA to LHR: Overbooked on Delta. Occasional bumpy areas throughout the trip. Delta takes almost an hour longer than BA's 747. Some reading lights turned on and off randomly. Pretty empty flight.

• 6/2 from LHR to BOS: Full flight on Virgin Atlantic. Nice bar for the first-class. Sat by a bathroom whose door didn't close smoothly. Had to keep pushing the door to close it. Bumpy at first but ok.

• 6/12 from BOS to SEA: Mostly full early flight on Alaskan. Pretty bumpy for the first 2-3 hours. Slow and low approach into SeaTac. Jetblue that left the same time but went into Canada, which evidently was a smoother route.
