Our flight was scheduled to depart at 709PM. I left my house around 450PM and got to SYR about 10 mins later. I was inside and checked in and through security by 515pm. The line for security was a few people long. Once we were through security we walked over to the DL/UA side of the airport and there were no flights out for the rest of the night, so over there were about 3 planes and not a single person in that part of the airport. So we walked over to the other side and watched a US A320 from CLT land. Usually that would have been an A319 and would turn for CLT. Since it was a holiday (July 4) and there were not a lot of flights leaving it spent the night and flew to CLT the following morning. While I was down there I saw an envoy 145 land and a dash 8 takeoff. After the US dash 8 left to PHL I went back to our gate to see our E190 arrive from JFK. Once the plane arrived at the gate, they deplaned from the front and allowed people to deplane through the air stairs and once the crew swapped we boarded. I was one of the first people to board since we were in 14A an Extra Legroom seat. On the E190 its row 1, 12, 13 and 14. They board with anyone who has Extra Legroom/Mosaic then pre boarding then general boarding from the rear of the aircraft forward. Boarding went by quick and we pushed back and started up our engines. We then taxied out from the ramp onto taxiway alpha then taxied down crossed over runway 28, we were holding short for about 2 minutes and then taxied onto the runway and took off. We took off and made a left turn and flew parallel to SYR then flew past by a few miles and made another left turn and were then cleared to the POPMY VOR. We then climbed up to 21,000 feet and flew down to JFK. Overall it was a smooth flight with a few bumps along the way. Once we got up to cruise they flight attendants came through with their “express service” which was coke, diet coke, sprite and water. After that they came through with animal crackers and peanuts. After flying down towards the city we began our descent. We began our descent as the sun started to set. We descended through a layer of clouds and broke through the clouds over the Atlantic Ocean at about 5000 feet. We then made a wide right turn and were lined up for landing on runway 4R. It was a great sunset as we came crossed over the shoreline. It was a smooth approach and as we touched down the plane hit the runway hard. It was probably the hardest landing I ever had with hard braking. We then exited the runway and taxied over and crossed 4L and taxied up to gate 1 and shut down the engines. Once they opened the door we deplaned after a short wait and we then went down to baggage claim 5, to get our bags then got our taxi to my grandmas.

Circling around SYR as we climb out towards JFK
Once we got up to our cruising altitude the flight attendants came through with their service. I got a sprite and animal crackers. I also walked to the back because there were some open seats on the opposite side of the plane and there were a lot of clouds so I walked back. Before long the seatbelt sign was turned on and before long we were out over the water descending into JFK.
My snack and soda
Starting our descent
Over the water
We made a smooth approach over the water into JFK. Once we were lined up for 4R the pilots lowered the landing gear and flaps. At 8:19PM we made the hardest landing I have ever had on 4R with hard braking to exit the runway. We then taxied pretty quickly off the runway we held short for an AA 290 a 757 to DUB to takeoff then crossed 4L and taxied straight into the ramp behind a A340 two A380’s and a A330. We arrived at gate one, shut down our engines and deplaned shortly after that. After getting our bags we went out to the curb to get our taxi and about 20 minutes later got to my grandma’s house.

It was a nice week in New York. It was good weather…. We went to my grandma’s pool and we went to the ocean at jones beach one day. We went to a couple movies and had a good week. Since our flight was cancelled on the inbound flight we had one less day so it went by pretty quick. Our Flight home was Thursday July 10. Our flight was 459PM we left my grandma’s house a couple minutes before 2pm. It is about a 20 – 30 minute ride to JFK. There was a long check in line and security line. We both had Extra Legroom seats so you can go through an expedited security line. On this flight I also had TSA precheck so I did not have to take off my shoes. We were through security with about an hour and half before boarding so we got some lunch then went to an area where we could watch the arrivals on 13L.

After sitting by gate 18 for a while, we walked around the terminal and saw a few planes. After this we headed back to our gate and got ready to board our plane up to SYR. Before we left I saw our plane arrive at gate 20. It was the first flight of the day for 236 so it taxied on over from the hangar about 1 hour before boarding.

My plane N236JB flew this plane in October SYR-JFK. The flight was delayed about 4 hours on that flight.
B6 1516
Once we boarded we went to our seats in row 14. Boarding finished about 20 minutes later and the doors were closed. We sat for about 10 mins before pushback. The pilots started one of the engines and we began as the pilot said during his preflight announcement “the two mile taxi to 13R.” we were about 15 in line for takeoff. As we taxied I saw a lot of different planes and saw 3 AA 737-800’s takeoff. One to LAS one to ORD and the other to BDA. We took off behind a company E190 (N324JB) to CLT. We had a rolling takeoff and passed about 15 planes on our takeoff roll. Immediately after takeoff we began our left turn to a 110 heading and flew over JFK. After a few left turns we were on the way up to 21,000 feet and headed north towards SYR. On this flight they did the express service again. It got really bumpy at one point so they stopped bring out drinks until the pilots climbed up to a higher altitude and it smoothed out. The flight is usually less than 50 minutes with about 15-20 minutes at cruise. Before long we were headed down into SYR. We made a quick Descent with the spoilers deployed for the majority of the descent. We made a long base and ended up turning about a 15 mile final for runway 28. We made a smooth touchdown at 630pm right ontime. We exited the runway at taxiway golf then taxied alpha right into gate 3 and the pilots shut down the engines a few minutes later. My sister got off first and went out to my mom’s car and I went and saw the few planes that were at SYR and then down to get my bags.

PTV- I kept it on channel 13, the inflight map
On this flight I got a sprite and blue chips. It took while to get though because of the turbulence. But they got almost everyone there sodas in time just to do a trash pickup. They have one bag for recycle and one for trash.
