    Result for the upgrade! I had business class upgrade once on a long haul to NYC on AA from London for just £180. Sold! Well worth it if you can stretch out and relax. Especially long hauls. Always pays to ask on check in day. You look like you had so much fun x

That's cool that you got upgraded to business class and got to enjoy the lounge. Nice food choices and always good for some free food and drink. Your hotel was really nice and love the hallways with all the trees on the wall. Your room looked really cool and had a nice bathroom. We were wondering how long your flight was to get there? Great video and Happy Holidays to you both and have safe travels!

      Hi B&B, great to hear from you! We hope you are both doing great. We have been to Portugal quite a bit this year, from a couple of months in The Algarve Southern Portugal, to Lisbon, Cascais and then the cruise back from Lisbon where we stopped in Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel Island one of The Azores Islands (The biggest). It took just under 5 hours flying Toronto to Terceira Island. Azores Getaways sells the same trip we did leaving from Boston, in the winter months (now), people from the Boston departure were paying $499 USD! Have an awesome Sunday and Merry Christmas and a great UA-cam New Year! 🎉🥂🍾💕
