by California, here I come. The first trip report of 2020 will bring me to California, where my ice hockey team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, will face three away matches in a row. However, the more advanced my planning for this trip became, the more interesting experiences I was able to add to it. Here is the overview article of what lies ahead of me when I am leaving Germany on 25th February 2020.
I selected traveling with the Penguins to California as my Favorite (Road) Trip in 2020.
California with the Pittsburgh Penguins – The Matches
Typically, a trip report preview starts with the stages, the flights and hotels I am planning to take. I decided to start with the matches I will watch for this one. Pittsburgh will face all three Californian teams, Los Angeles, Anaheim and San Jose, on the road sequentially. As a “bonus game”, I wanted to see our former goalie, Marc-Andre Fleury, at his new club in Las Vegas. I use the “European order” for the match-ups below, i.e. home team first:
| Date | Match | Arena |
|---|---|---|
| We 26.02.2020 | L.A. Kings vs. Pittsburgh Penguins | Staples Center |
| Fr 28.02.2020 | Anaheim Ducks vs. Pittsburgh Penguins | Honda Center |
| Sa 29.02.2020 | San Jose Sharks vs. Pittsburgh Penguins | SAP Center |
| Su 01.03.2020 | Vegas Golden Knights vs. L.A. Kings | T-Mobile Arena |
California with the Pittsburgh Penguins – The Trip
My trip starts right on Carnival’s Tuesday, when I am going to fly from Frankfurt via London to Los Angeles. This will be the first time I am flying Air New Zealand. There are quite some interesting airlines on the following legs, for example a JetBlue and an Alaska Airlines Domestic First connection. The Air New Zealand flights between Frankfurt and London (and v.v.) are operated by Lufthansa.
| Date | Flight | from | to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tu 25.02.2020 | NZ 4202 | Frankfurt FRA | London LHR (T2) |
| Tu 25.02.2020 | NZ 1 | London LHR (T2) | Los Angeles LAX |
| Sa 29.02.2020 | B6 826 | Long Beach LGB | San Jose SJC |
| Su 01.03.2020 | AS 1902 | San Francisco SFO | Las Vegas LAS |
| Mo 02.03.2020 | AA 1366 | Las Vegas LAS | Los Angeles LAX |
| Mo 02.03.2020 | NZ 2 | Los Angeles LAX | London LHR (T2) |
| Tu 03.03.2020 | NZ 4203 | London LHR (T2) | Frankfurt FRA |
The trip lead to two lounge reviews:
I will stay in the following hotels:
- 25.02. to 28.02.: DoubleTree Suites Anaheim Convention Center
- 28.02 to 29.02.: Holiday Inn Long Beach Airport
- 29.02. to 01.03.: Hilton Garden Inn San Mateo
- 01.03 to 02.03.: OYO Las Vegas Hotel and Casino
Due to some very early flight departures, I decided not to review the two hotels in italics. Even regular updates are under risk.
