🚢🌐 Cruising with P&O this summer? I just posted a plain-English guide to:

• unlocking YouTube on the cheaper “Essential” Wi-Fi
• the exact Surfshark setting that works at sea
• why you must toggle your VPN off for onboard bookings
• Red Bull Maritime eSIM—lifesaver or money pit?

B737-800 TUIFly from Kos to Frankfurt 1000ft above us on the way to Rhodes #avgeek #easyjet #traveladventure

Thanks! :-)

Currently sat in HKG (VHHH - see my previous post!) waiting for my flight with a few hours to kill. Any top tips to share? #traveladventure #travel

Sunset over Hong Kong #travel #traveladventure

EGLL (or is it LHR) to VHHH (that’s HKG to you) ICAO codes vs IATA codes Having worked in Air Traffic Control / Air Traffic Management for 35 years this year, I’m aware that like many industries we have our own language! I think ATC has more TLAs ...

LHR or EGLL? What’s that all about? #traveladventure longhaul.ghost.io/egll-or-is-i...

Looks like a Detling / Dover departure out of Heathrow this evening climbing initially to FL310 #traveladventure

Relaxing in the no1 lounge at Heathrow T3. Glass of Sauvignon Blanc ahead of the first part of our trip. EGLL - VHHH on a B77W #CPA250 #traveladventure

Almost time to leave! Waiting for our taxi… how many green stone jewellery shops do you want to visit? #traveladventure #aeotearoa #cathaypaciifc

Looks like BKQI will be out steed for the flight to #HongKong. This Boeing 777-300ER #b77w is 11.5 years old and appears to be painted in the "OneWorld" livery. It's configured as a 4-class cabin #traveladventure

Last day at work today ahead of our trip to #newzealand. Flying out of #heathrow tomorrow with #cathaypacific - a first for me travelling with that airline! #traveladventure

Packing almost complete. Going to be doing a review of our new backpacks from #Bellroy along the way… @bellroy.bsky.social

Preparing for a BIG trip in 6 days time… heading to New Zealand with two days in Hong Kong on the way!

Heading to #Brussels today. First off is the drive to Heathrow for the flight from #terminal5

Enjoyed our day trip to Amsterdam from Rotterdam. The Dutch double decker trains are fantastic. So much room! Could have done with slightly less precipitation….. enjoyed the evening cruise of the lights festival too

Very pleasantly surprised with how accessible #aurora seems to be. For a 24 year old ship - nice big lifts, wide corridors and easy access into all the venues we’ve been in so far #accessibility #accessibletravel

Fantastic trio playing in the Crows Nest bar on #aurora this evening. The passion fruit martinis went down a treat too!

P&O Aurora maybe 24 years old but she’s a beautiful ship #cruise

First time on #aurora. She’s a beautiful ship - much nicer than I thought she might have been given her age. Nicely decorated for Christmas too

Next trip upcoming…. Four nights on @pandocruises.bsky.social #aurora - Southampton to Rotterdam. Looking forward to checking out the ship - first time on Aurora for us. Weather forecast doesn’t look too great, but that won’t spoil it!
