Landed in Seattle! The flight was comfortable but we landed about 30 minutes late and now I have only 25 minutes to get through border control and security!

aaaand boarding is complete and it looks like I have the row to myself!

Apparently Apple doesn't understand timezone changes very well.

Just boarded the plane from London to Seattle. It's also late enough in Seattle that I am now switching my clocks to Pacific time, so now it's 6:15am. That means I'm pretending I just woke up and am going to try to have a normal day starting now. #OperationNoJetlag

I'm at the gate at LHR now and the automated PA announcement just said "for security reasons, unattended luggage will be removed and destroyed."

And then repeated the announcement in German, and then I learned a cool new word, "vernichtet"

My biggest character trait is buying things I need and then immediately forgetting where I put them.

Apparently my 75K Alaska status converts to OneWorld Emerald so I get access to the fancy British Airways lounge! Not going to argue with that!

Nothing here is self service, you have to order on your phone using the QR code on the table, and you have to give it a code word that's shown on signs around the lounge, which is a clever solution to avoid people ordering random things to be sent to random tables after they leave.
