In the air

A few stats

10/28/10

My original plan had me flying on 38 flights, 47,593 miles, and visiting 12 state capitols.  Well, things changed a little bit throughout the month.  I skipped Seattle twice, went to Maine instead of Fort Lauderdale, missed out on Las Vegas, and ended up on a bus instead of a plane to Boston.

But that’s what keeps travelling fun and interesting.  Waking up in the morning and trying to figure out where you are is quite humorous after a week.  Here’s the map of where I went.

Flight #30: LGB - SFO

10/14/10

On my final flight of the JetBlue’s All You Can Jet pass, I made my way home on Unforgettably blue. Our Captain was Matt and first officer Theodore. Flight attendants were Penelope and Adrianna.

I had a pleasant conversation with Adrianna, the last JetBlue employee I shared my journey with. It was a good ending to my long journey.

Flight #29: ORD - LGB

10/14/10

Departing a half-hour late from Chicago on JetBlue’s Blue velvet, there were a ton of All You Can Jet jetters making their way to the west coast. At the gate, the plane was full of chatter with everyone sharing their experiences for the last month.

Many were showing off with the number of flights they’ve taken, the number of places they’ve been to, and where they’ve been internationally. We’ve been a busy bunch!

Headed directly into the sun, this last sunset of the trip was really awesome watching out the window.

Flight #26: JFK – CLT

10/08/10

After a long and anxious drive to JFK in traffic from New Jersey, I made it for flight 1087. Captain Derek and first officer J.R. got Come…

Flight #25: SLC – JFK

10/06/10

After a very nice day in Salt Lake City, I headed back to what I should now call my second home, JFK.

JetBlue flight #92 was piloted by Captain Michael and first officer Robert. We left 20 minutes late due to weather at JFK.

Flight attendants Brandie, Colleen, and Shirley were very quiet and I got to sleep for most of the flight.

Unfortunately, things went bad as we got to the east coast. First, Michael was instructed to fly a holding pattern for 20 minutes. Apparently strong surface winds wouldn’t let planes land. Strong enough no aircraft could handle them.

After 20 minutes, there was still no good news. Running low on fuel, we had to divert to Newark. An hour and a half after we should have landed at JFK, we landed in Newark.

Flight #24: JFK – SLC

10/06/10

Getting back on my busy itinerary, I headed to Salt Lake City on JetBlue flight 87. This flight made up for me missing my flight to Las…

Flight #23: BOS - JFK

10/06/10

On an unexpected flight on a very confusing day of travel, I made my way to JFK via JetBlue flight #1017. The flight was already delayed and I was able to get a seat on the flight.

My options were to spend a night at Boston or at New York, so I thought it would be a safer bet at JFK if weather delayed me the next day since I had to go through JFK anyways. It was raining in Boston.
