Great review. Hopefully, someday you could upgrade yourself to F in order to get the royal treatment you deserve! That aside, I find the 757 to be the most stable single-aisle airplane in the air, your particular intermittently turbulent flight notwithstanding. Always good to see you review the net...
Jump to postI've done so many day trips, and I've probably done 4 or 5, where I flew across the country and back on a redeye in about 24 hours. I started doing it for miles. My favorite one was when I flew a Cathay Pacific 777-300 from YVR-JFK. That was a nice flight. The worst one I ever did, I started it with...
Jump to postI was going to Dallas for a week, for a class I had to take and to take my ATP written. My flights were booked for me. On my way to DFW, I was on an American 737-800 nonstop right to Dallas. For the flight back, I would be taking United with a layover in Houston. I had just flown into PBI the night ...
Jump to postI originally had plans to go with my sister on a trip for a week. But, something came up and she wasn’t able to go. I had a few weeks off before I start airline training. So, I decided to still use the flights I had and just go somewhere else. I decided to go see my other sister in Portland for a fe...

This was from my recent trip back to New York, for Thanksgiving. I needed 1000 hours of flying to be able to start at an airline, as a pilot. My flying job ended at the end of October. I was still short 117 hours, after the job ended. For the month of November, I came down to Florida to rent a plane...
Jump to postI was supposed to be on this flight too. But, I had to cancel it at the last minute. I wanted to go on the first one, because I've been waiting for Southwest to start SYR for years. But, I'm going to be flying Southwest out of SYR for Thanksgiving next week.
Jump to postI live near Syracuse, NY, and usually just fly out of SYR. I have never flown out of ITH on an airline flight. But, i've flown into ITH as a pilot in a small GA plane a few times

I have a class date to start training as a pilot with an airline coming up. I still need to do some night flying for my ATP. There are not many options for renting planes near where I live. So, I went down to Florida to do some flying, while I had a few days off from my job. When I was looking at fl...
Jump to postI flew jetBlue to Colombia once from JFK. The flights into JFK didn't work out with the flights to CTG, so we had to do the same thing you did and spend the night. We stayed at the same hotel too.
Jump to postI had plans to go to New York City for a few days, to see some family. When I booked my flights I originally was going to fly SYR-JFK on a Delta CRJ-900. But, I ended up having to work the day I was leaving. I was not sure what time I would be working until. I usually fly until it gets dark, unless ...
Jump to postReally nice pics! (Especially on the second flight) Also, in November 2020, I arrived at the same gate at CLT (C3) on a Republic-operated E175 with the E170 winglets, though it was from Key West (EYW) and the aircraft was N408YX. Also, you might already know this, but AA has several CRJ-700 configu...

I was taking a quick trip for one night to Indianapolis, for an interview. A few days before I was leaving, I received an email with my flight information. I originally was supposed to be flying SYR-ORD on United, and ORD-IND on American. It was then switched to SYR-ORD-IND all on United. The night ...
Jump to postI still have a lot of credits that I need to use. We were having a few days of rainy weather, and low clouds. So, I would not be flying. I decided it would be a good time to use some credits, and do a day trip. I booked this trip two days in advance. After a little bit of looking around, I found sev...
Jump to postGreat report. One of the airlines I'm applying to right now (hint, they're a startup that's based in Houston and operate out of California & soon CT) made an effort to tell us passengers aren't and shouldn't be the enemy. Really resonated well with me. Seems like a pretty basic concept, but app...

My sister was leaving for college, and my mom was bringing her down. I decided to take off two days from my flying job, and meet them in Florida for two days. I was working most of the day. After a full day of flying the Cessna, I had a late flight out. I left work around 4:30pm. I went home quick t...

I look forward to fly United soon
I was looking at some flights a few months ago, and came across a United flight on a 787 from ORD-IAD. The primary reason I wanted to take this trip was the 787. I was supposed to take one back in March, but missed it due to a delayed flight. The only other 787 I had been on previously, was an Ameri...

Thanks for the TR. I was at LGA recently and managed to take a bus ride from Terminal C to Terminal D. I'll need to upload those pictures to show construction progress of the new DL terminal.

For a while I have wanted to try out Silver Airways, and the ATR. It took a while for it to actually work out. I originally had a flight booked in January, from Tampa to Fort Lauderdale. It was about 6 months ago, so I don’t really remember why I had to cancel it. I think it was some weather issue, ...
Jump to postI see you got that classic MIA hospitality. Frankly, I've never had a good customer service experience at MIA. I've encountered bad agents there with AA too. Yeah. They were all pretty rude this time. I have only flown through MIA a few times in the past, and didn't have an experience one way or th...

Last month I took my sister to Florida for a few days, to visit a college. We originally had ourselves booked on a CRJ-200 to JFK, and then an A320 to FLL. The college ended up changing the date of the orientation, so we had to move our flight up one day. We would be going down the night before we h...

Nice TR! And your verdict about the CRJ550? Is it a real "game changer" and does it beat the other CRJs? I mean, better comfort and more space for hand luggage? Btw. I was surprised that the B738 was equipped with PTV, the A320 not - is this inconstancy the norm? I honestly didn't think i...
