Hey there 👋
Welcome to Travel Plans, the newsletter and podcast I always wished existed.
Shortly after earning my pilot's license, I stumbled upon the term "£100 burger" (if you have never heard this expression, check the note at the end of this page).
But flying, for me, is about so much more than that. It's about:
Expanding horizons and the sheer thrill of freedom
Immersing myself in diverse cultures and unforgettable events
Connecting deeply with loved ones in extraordinary places

More about me
I’m a dad, husband and volunteer. I help those going through difficult times with all things transport.
Years ago, flying saved me. Literally. Being up in the air gave me a different perspective on our world and helped me find my way out of a tough period in my life.
Today, I’m a private pilot, and I fly my own general aviation aeroplane. I share that experience with my family and I help others when I can.
I run a small tiny charity. We are all volunteers, and since 2015, we’ve been helping children with cancer and their families travel to hospitals. So far, we’ve offered over 7,500 journeys.
But, what are £100 burgers?
In aviation circles, it's a lighthearted term for a short, leisurely flight taken simply for the joy of flying – perhaps to savor a meal at a charming airfield café or explore a nearby town. However, with the soaring cost of fuel these days, that £100 burger can easily turn into a £200+ indulgence! 🍔💸
