Re: Atlanta & Orlando (Delta CRJ-900, A321, 757-200 & 717)

I love how specific the pilot was on the ATL-MCO leg. Most times they just give the arrival weather, time to the airport, and maybe the gate. Even mentioning what direction we'll be landing from is appreciated by me. He was definitely very detailed! After the flight i went up and talked to them and...

Allegiant A319 IWA-MFE-IWA

This trip was from a little over a year ago, in November of 2019. I did all of my flight training out of Gateway airport, in Phoenix. So I was pretty familiar with it, and was used to seeing a lot of Allegiant airplanes. Allegiant uses the airport, as one of its hubs. A few years ago, I had flown an...
