Hi guys this is a repost of my trip report with all the pictures added this time

I took this trip back in 2010 and thought i would share.

Usually my vacation trips to the US are often to Philadelphia however, on my last trip i missed my connection in MIA and had to overnight from what little i saw of the city it sparked my interest and the following year I decided to visit the city whose airport I've transited over six times. AA has the monopoly on this route as such prices are a bit higher than flights to JFK the flight had an early departure so I was up for 4 and made my way to the airport for 5:30 the weather was nice but as check in progressed a steady downpour commenced. Luckily the showers held up once boarding began it would of been a bad start to a vacation to be soaked since BGI has no air bridges.

Unfortunately the aircraft was not upgraded however, it was clean .

Slight over view of the departure hall and the Concorde experience hangar can be seen in the upper left hand corner.




the 757 always impresses with its climb performance


Commencing our left turn to join the airway


Cloudy skies






This was the view for the early portion of the flight


As the BOB began it seemed some passengers were unaware that AA had gone cashless luckily I had bought something in the airport the crew on this flight for the most part was pretty good.



Overflying the Bahamas

Shortly thereafter we began our descent into MIA



On our final approach to MIA


After landing we parked and awaited a tow into the gate.



I managed to get through customs pretty quickly and the bags were already off the carousel in the baggage claim area after exiting the airport i was hit by the heat Barbados is hot but Miami was sweltering. I had a good stay in Miami hope to be back some time soon.

Interesting how cities in the US are laid out in squares whereas back home the streets moreso follow the land

The flight was pretty much routine after that I just watched the movie and enjoyed the views of approach into BGI hope you guys enjoyed.
