First Trips of 2019

This past week I took my first flights of 2019. The first two were non eventful and I took an Airbus A319 and a Boeing 737-800 on American Airlines back and forth to DFW. However, my next set of flights were much better! I got to finally set foot on an Airbus A330-200 and in first class to boot from an upgrade. First time I got to enjoy the lie-flat seats.

Here she is in all her beauty, American Airlines Airbus A330-200 N289AY.

Of course, I had to document my seat experience!

It is going to be hard to go back to economy after this.

The flights back were not as great. The winter weather is in full force and I got stuck in Chicago for a bit. I landed early and decided to take a standby flight back home so that I could get in at a reasonable hour at the cost of my confirmed upgrade on a later flight. Well, my luck had run out as that flight got delayed three hours and we arrived just a few minutes before my originally scheduled flight. At least I know better for next time and to avoid Chicago at all costs during the winter!

August Flights

August was a light flying month for me and I only had six flights. I didn’t get on any notable planes, but I did see a couple of cool ones at DFW on my last leg.

First up American Airlines Boeing 787-8 N818AL at DFW. I think this had just come in from CDG.

Busy month of flying

June was my busiest month of flying to date. I had 15 flights during the month – traveling almost every week. July is shaping up to be just slightly more busy. Instead of putting out all of the pictures from the month, I will just share a few of the highlights during my travels.

During a layover at PHL I saw quite a few American Airlines A330s.

Trip to Tulsa

This past week, I made my first trip to Oklahoma. For this trip, American Airlines provided all of my flights.

My first flight was provided by CRJ-200 N262PS for a quick trip to Charlotte. I was supposed to have a quick connection here and was afraid I would miss it since the first flight was delayed 30 minutes, but my second flight had already been delayed. Here is N262PS after we landed in Charlotte. We did not have a jet bridge, so I was able to grab a great shot of it from the ground.
