Today's the day!

BNA - MSP on DL
MSP - SFO on DL
SFO - LHR on VS042

Mission: Minimum of five lounges incl VS Clubhouse and AMEX Centurion Lounge!

Will post progress updates and photos as we go.

You mission, as you have chosen to accept it

Hope you have an awesome time 'on the road' Andy, look forward to reading those updates

Good luck !
Not sure I envy you !

Thats a hellova routing from BNA (I glad to see I'm not the only traveller doing business there....)

I'll definitely consider that for my next trip in mid-Sept if it's as good (and TP rich) as it seems - that sounds like a 11TP each way routing in J? - it *may* just renew my AU if lucky, and I get another internal flight, as would end up at 37 for the year with my math.

BNA - MSP thoroughly uneventful aside from never ending views of Midwest farmland.

A quick dash n splash, a couple of work calls and answering some emails in the Delta Sky Club at C12 then off to G20 and onboard and into 2C & 2D.

Next stop SFO.

PS. I live in Nashville, TN, born & raised in Manchester.

Hitting the Amex lounge in SFO? It will be a chore, since it's past security in the UA terminal, good luck with that! Very nice space.

Must be the day for long routings. I've just got off DL MCO > LAX and I'm just waiting for my Delta Connection shuttle to get back to SFO. Around $650 in First (A) which gives you 12 Tier Points into your FC account :-)

Just landed in SFO. We've got eight hours until VS042 so yes, Centurion Lounge, Clubhouse and Cat Cora's place. Hoping for a sighting and maybe a photo!

Recommendation. Do NOT attempt AMEX Centurion Lounge unless you are already in Terminal 3.

We landed in T2 and took the train over to T3. Boarding passes, unsuprisingly, didn't have TSA Pre-Check, so were filtered into the main line and had to do all the shoes-off, laptop-out nonsense.

And the lounge here is much smaller than other Centurion Lounges although service is excellent.

And just noticed the Clubhouse here is scheduled to close at 7:00pm. Flight is at 9:25pm.

Really? Come on now Virgin.....

SFO Clubhouse update.

Now closes at 8:25pm. Perfect for boarding VS042.

Centurion Lounge has a really great staff.

And a wine tasting wall.

Food selection is just meh. Salmon, rice, tepid udon noodles.

Great bar staff.
