I had a long weekend, and was meeting some family in Atlanta. When I was looking at options, there were flights on American, Delta and jetBlue. Some of my family were flying jetBlue, so I decided to meet them in BOS and take the same flight. I was taking an overnight from PHX. I got to the airport at 9:30pm, for my flight.

Boarding started at 10:15pm. The flight was almost completely full. A lot of people had bags, and they ran out of room. So, a lot of people ended up having to have their bags checked. By 10:40pm the door was closed, and we started to pushback a few minutes later.

About to taxi
Another jetBlue flight from FLL had arrived, and was blocking the taxiway next to us. We ended up having to taxi across the ramp, and exit at the other end. Then we slowly taxied down to runway 25R. When we reached the end, we came to a stop. We had to wait for a few planes, that were arriving. After this we took runway 25R, and departed.
