last Wed: storms diverted my trans-atlantic flight to PHL, arrived in IAD 9+ hours after scheduled time

tonight: storms whipping through DFW tonight... will my plane take off? no idea

me + storms + flights are NOT a good combo

[Denise C @deenise88]

my nerves are absolutely FRAYED after watching the 2 AO men's semis today. the roller coaster matches we have been waiting for

(and I only tuned in halfway through Alcaraz-Zverev when I woke up and was surprised to see it still going on... lol)

is this a new record for how disruptive a signal delay can be?! can't believe the northern line has been down for 4 DAYS

(silver lining: obvs missed my train this AM and just worked from London instead)

[TfL @TfL]

We apologise to customers affected by delays on the Northern line since 19 October 2025.

Our engineers are working hard to fix an identified fault with the signalling equipment, and we'll do all we can to restore a good service as soon as possible.

Please allow extra time for your journeys, and check before you travel: https://t.co/Pz0iq8cTJq

@AlexBatt It's because there wasn't much time between the previous match, and everyone went to cool down / toilet / grab drinks food etc. The queues can get quite bad so it takes a while, and the 1st set is the "best" to miss so you don't want to get up again after

[Denise C @deenise88]

what an INCREDIBLE #frenchopen2025 final. absolute edge-of-your-seat action throughout, and I'm just watching from London!!

@evrisupportline how come every London @Tesco I've been to never seems to have a working printer to print labels? 3 Tesco's this AM, all the same story. And this is not the first time.

If no print service, better to just not say it's available on the map

update: boarding completed and 1/3 of overhead bins are empty. GRRR

curious if women tend to get luggage gate-checked more often than men because they're less likely to kick up a fuss?

just got forced by #LX to gate check my bag "b/c I'm emergency row" and the guy beside me (same row) arrives with full suitcase+briefcase. Double standards much?

[Denise C @deenise88]

how is it that #British citizens can't use the automated passport control gates at #FRA that Canadians, Americans, Brazilians and Emiratis can?!

still feeling the impacts of Brexit even after all these years 😭

(absolute zoo at EU immigration pre-xmas)

[Denise C @deenise88]

the #YUL AC Int'l MLL is absolutely heaving during the evening departures (queue to get in, almost all seats occupied)...

@AirCanada when is YUL getting its own Signature Suite lounge?! will go thru YYZ in future otherwise

[Denise C @deenise88]

what an amazing day for SPAIN!! 🇪🇸
congrats for cinching both Wimbledon & the Euros ... well deserved!! 🥳

but sadly football's still not coming home, UK folks... the wait goes on 🇬🇧

[Denise C @deenise88]

when at #OSL - just when my plane was about the push back, the heavens open and lightning every 20s. rest of the day was a lovely 20C+. WHY 😭

the rains have clearly been tagging my travels from LHR > SIN > OSL

[Denise C @deenise88]

is it just me, or is the #JubileeLine on a weekend these days a highly unpleasant transport option, constantly packed and delayed - worse than during weekday rush hours?!

[Denise C @deenise88]

the Tyrol Lounge at Innsbruck Airport is probably the nicest lounge I’ve seen in a small airport. beautiful decor + great view of the tarmac and local mountains. And it’s a contract lounge!

#InnsbruckAirport #INN #Austria

[Denise C @deenise88]

the new int’l terminal at #SCL is very nice, but disappointing that there’s not even a temp contract lounge for *G @staralliance @AirCanada passengers, esp when there’s a SkyTeam lounge!

(might be a tad jealous ha)

[Denise C @deenise88]

the hottest video in #finance this season is...the BX holiday video! so bad that it's kinda good?! 😅

[Blackstone @blackstone]

Holiday Video (Blackstone's Version) 🎬🎵

Inspired by the Eras Tour, Steve Schwarzman & Jon Gray take $BX on the road for “The Alternatives Era” Tour… many sequins & one original song later, we bring you the latest in our annual tradition ⬇

absolute chaos today at @OsloAirport at the non-Schengen passport control; queue was 30min / 150+ long; crazy for a usually efficient airport. thankfully flights being held but word of warning to anyone flying ex-EU at #OSL !!

[Denise C @deenise88]

curious if it’s just me but - does anyone else feel that #ARN #Stockholm border agents are SUPER unwelcoming to non-EU? basically get treated suspiciously or even cross examined, even when exiting!

actually makes me want to actively avoid Sweden now as so unpleasant

[Denise C @deenise88]

You know something is American when… (lol)

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

The new tagline for twitter/X is “Blaze your glory!” I hope they offer a less enthusiastic option for British users. Perhaps something along the lines of “give it a go” or “it is what it is”

[Denise C @deenise88]

#AerLingus #EI #LHR lounge is beautiful with some of the best plane spotting given views of south runway...

the only letdown? pretty meagre food selection - packaged snacks only, no hot food. miss the Do&Co catering next door at the #LH lounge
