		<description><![CDATA[A recount of my Airbus A380 flight from London to Paris on Air France.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every now and again, I get to do something really cool and when I flew the Air France Airbus A380 from London-Heathrow to Paris, France. This is no ordinary flight, afterall, it is the shortest flight of an Airbus A380!</p>
<p>I first flew from Houston, TX to London-Heathrow arriving on Saturday, June 26, 2010.  I was accompanied with my travelling buddy from work.  We are kindred spirits and love to do aviation-related stuff.  We landed in Terminal 4 and Air France, being a SkyTeam member is also in Terminal 4.</p>
<p>We were both shocked as the check-in area was bare although it was about 10:00a and our departure time was 12:50p.  The agent advised that the majority of the passengers had already showed up or had checked in online.  Wow, they are indeed excited about it all.  I was disappointed as I wanted to see the check-in area.  I had done my Masters Thesis on this airplane so every time I fly it I am always curious at the extra amount of passengers it deposits on the airports.</p>
<p>We got a standby boarding pass as the agent said the flight was overbooked in Economy by about 11 passengers.   Our previous checks had indicated that there were 10 standbys in all.  So that is quite a bit of people we needed not to show up so we can get a seat.  Let&#8217;s hope we are in luck.</p>
<p>We cleared security without issues and then headed for the SkyTeam Lounge.  We figured we would not get in as we have a Continental Presidents Club card, but were not departing on Continental.  We tried anyways, but were denied access.  No worries, we then proceeded to watch planes.  This is always fun at Heathrow!</p>
<p>The airplanes were taking off away from Terminal 5 and towards us so that was perfect.  We wondered if we would see the A380 land since there were two runways and the one closest to us was being used for takeoffs.  A quick check of google.com showed that the flight was due at 11:14a which was in about 40 minutes or so.  The Emirates A380 from Dubai was due at 11:48a or so.  Across the runway in the middle of the airport at Terminal 1 was Singapore&#8217;s and Qantas; I love Heathrow!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>San Antonio, TX 14 Nov. 2009</strong>.  I&#8217;m waiting to be picked up by a friend of mine in San Antonio, TX.  He texted me to say that he is on his way and will be here in twenty minutes.  That was 15 minutes ago.  I&#8217;m surfing the free WiFi compliments of Google while I wait.  The longest I&#8217;ve waited for a pickup is about 2.5 hours in Los Angeles, CA (LAX).  My cousin is notorious for making people wait when the come to visit.  My mom is always pissed when she goes to visit her.  What is the longest you&#8217;ve waited to be picked up?  Tell us your story by leaving a comment.</p>

<p><strong>Houston, TX 20 Oct. 2009</strong>.  I am doing some research for my free &#8220;I will teach you to travel&#8221; mini-course (you can subscribe to the right) and when I checked the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/waittime.shtm" target="_blank">TSA&#8217;s Web site</a> about airport wait times, I got this message:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;The Wait Time Calculator is currently under construction. We apologize for the inconvenience while we are working to make the tool more user friendly.&#8221;</p>
<p>Other Web sites linking to it says:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> &#8221;We are sorry but our security wait times application is unavailable at this time. The TSA is currently not publishing this information. Once this information becomes available again, we will re-introduce this feature&#8221;</p>
<p>I wonder how long it&#8217;s been down?  Anyone knows? If you are looking for this information you can check with your airline&#8217;s Web site for details.</p>
<p>Remember to give yourself enough time to get to the airport.  As a general rule, I&#8217;ll try to arrive at the airport 1.5 hours before the scheduled departure of my domestic flight.   If you are checking bags and going international, give yourself more time.  As usually you have a one hour cut off time to have your bags checked in.  At worst, I can hang out in the airport/airline lounge <img src='http://cruisinaltitude.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile What happened to the TSA Airport Wait Times?" class='wp-smiley' title="What happened to the TSA Airport Wait Times?" /> .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Las Vegas, NV (LAS), 17 Oct. 2009</strong>.  I got checked in  and headed to the gate.  Security lines were almost non-existent so it was smooth sailing.  At the gate I got connected to the complimentary airport WiFi, thanks McCarran and caught with e-mail, etc.  Soon, I got a window seat and boarded.</p>
<p>There was someone sitting in my seat when I got there, so I offered a trade.  It was funny as the ladies were really very friendly and I told her that I would not get up all night so she said I could sit in the window.  I would not have minded sitting in the aisle, but they insisted as she said she may get up during the night.  They were perhaps the best seatmates I&#8217;ve had in ages.</p>
<p>We soon pushed back and headed out in the cool night skies.  My best thing about Las Vegas is taking off at night and seeing all the lights below.  There is really nothing like it.  We took off with the Strip on the right and then making a right turn so we could see the Strip from the other end as we gained altitude on this wingleted Boeing 757-300.  I had noticed the winglets until we pushed back.  This is the first Boeing 757-300 in revenue service with winglets.</p>
<p>I was way tired so sleep came really quickly as I covered up with the plastic wrapped provided blanket.  A pretzel and beverage service passed through, but I was full from the barbecue at the Hilton so I declined anything.  Landing seemed to come quickly on this 4:15 flight touching down at 5:22a.  I don&#8217;t think I will make the connection flight I thought.</p>
<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/cob753pb220091018ewr.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-863" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/cob753pb220091018ewr-300x139.jpg" alt="cob753pb220091018ewr 300x139 Its time to head back home from Las Vegas, NV (LAS)" width="300" height="139" title="Its time to head back home from Las Vegas, NV (LAS)" /></a>As I was in the back of the plane and we got to the gate at 5:30a, I missed the 5:45a which was in the other finger of Terminal C at rainy Newark airport.  The agents moved me over to the next flight, a Boeing 777-200ER at 7:45a.  I then went to find a place to take a photo of the wingleted bird which was now heading for Orlando, FL (MCO) at 7:00a.  I could not find a place though due to its gate assignment at 102.</p>
<p>I did however find a spot in the Presidents Club that would give me great pictures.  And so at 7:00a when it pushed back, I got a few pictures in the rainy dawn.  I also had some breakfast of cereal and mini muffins.  I left almost right after the pushback as I did not want to lose my place on this flight.</p>
<p>At the gate I collected my middle seat boarding pass and headed onboard.  It was freezing in the jetway, I thought these things had heat.  As I waited onboard, a guy came for the aisle seat, but no one showed for the window.  Once the doors were closed, the guy asked if he could take the window as I was about to move over.  He said he wanted to sleep; I guess I did not look sleepy.  I obliged him anyway and he was thankful.  I was psyched about having that empty seat as I believe it was the only one on the plane.</p>
<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/breakfast20211ewriah20091018.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-895" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/breakfast20211ewriah20091018-300x225.jpg" alt="breakfast20211ewriah20091018 300x225 Its time to head back home from Las Vegas, NV (LAS)" width="300" height="225" title="Its time to head back home from Las Vegas, NV (LAS)" /></a>We pushed back a few minutes late and made the long trek to the runway and took off  into the rainy morning skies.  I reclined my seat and the guy behind me protested that he was tall, annoyed I un-reclined and tried to fall asleep.  Maybe I should have complained about the noise his little girl was making&#8230;The flight attendants did come by with a breakfast offering of cereal and bananas; At this point, I kind of wished the offering was a bit different, oh well.</p>
<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/avodseatbackscreen.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-894" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/avodseatbackscreen-300x225.jpg" alt="avodseatbackscreen 300x225 Its time to head back home from Las Vegas, NV (LAS)" width="300" height="225" title="Its time to head back home from Las Vegas, NV (LAS)" /></a>This airplane has power at the seats which I utilized and audio/video on demand which I did not use as I could hardly keep my eyes open.  I did hear the Captain come on and say that due to the winds we would have to fly past the airport and then come back which would cause us to arrive at the gate a few minutes late.</p>
<p>As we descended, the guy&#8217;s daughter kept kicking my seat back and tapping it with her hands.  Her father never once told her to stop it or apologize for her behavior and I never said anything to him.  Some people can be really selfish it seems.</p>
<p>We landed without incident and headed to the gate arriving about five minutes behind schedule.  I then called Metro and was advised the next bus was at 10:51a, good deal I had enough time.  This was a pretty good trip.</p>
<p>How are you spending your weekend?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2009/10/pclubbreakfast.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-888" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2009/10/pclubbreakfast-300x225.jpg" alt="pclubbreakfast 300x225 Heading out to Las Vegas, NV for BlogWorld Expo 2009"  title="Heading out to Las Vegas, NV for BlogWorld Expo 2009" /></a>Houston, TX 17 Oct. 2009</strong>.  I arrived at the airport in Houston-Intercontinental, Houston TX (IAH) at 6:20a and cleared TSA security without any issues, then headed to the Presidents Club for breakfast.  I tell you this membership does pay off, I highly recommend getting some kind of airport lounge membership.  After a much needed breakfast, it was soon time for boarding so I did.</p>
<p>The flight was quite full and I was only able to get an aisle seat, but I was happy.  I always prefer a window seat going out there as the American topography is spectacular.  It changes from flat lands, to snow capped mountains to green pastures to desert and lakes, just fantastic.</p>
<p>This pleasure was bestowed upon a Brazilian guy and his friend who were in the U.S. for ten days for a conference in Las Vegas.  They had just arrived on the red eye flight from Sao Paulo, Brazil so were pretty exhausted.  We chatted for quite a bit before takeoff and during the flight though.</p>
<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/breakfastiahlas20091017.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-889" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/breakfastiahlas20091017-300x225.jpg" alt="breakfastiahlas20091017 300x225 Heading out to Las Vegas, NV for BlogWorld Expo 2009" width="300" height="225" title="Heading out to Las Vegas, NV for BlogWorld Expo 2009" /></a>We pushed back ontime and then had a clear path to the runway so we were off in no time.  It is a 2:45 flight this morning and we would arrive ontime the crew advised.  Soon after takeoff, we were served cereal with a banana and non-alcoholic complimentary beverage of choice.  Alcoholic beverages were 6 USD which can be paid with cash or debit/credit cards.  Headsets were 1 USD for the animated Disney movie <em>UP, </em>being shown.</p>
<p>I had a chance to get some zees as did other passengers including the Brazilians.  These early flights are brutal!  As we flew along, the Captain did come on and pointed out cool stuff. I love it when they do that.   It was soon time for landing so we all prepared for it.  You could see the mountains and brown desert floor outside as we descended into &#8220;Sin City.&#8221;  It was 8:31a when we pulled up to the gate a few minutes late on this Boeing 737-800.</p>
<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/fieldtowerlas.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-828" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/fieldtowerlas-300x241.jpg" alt="fieldtowerlas 300x241 Heading out to Las Vegas, NV for BlogWorld Expo 2009" width="300" height="241" title="Heading out to Las Vegas, NV for BlogWorld Expo 2009" /></a>I headed for the Presidents Club which is fun to find if you&#8217;ve never visited it, where a similar breakfast as the Club in Houston and the airplane was being served.  I got online and finished registering for the event, contact @sseagraves as he was attending and then headed out taking the train into the main terminal as Continental is in Terminal D at Las Vegas-McCarran.  Sadly, I would miss the keynote address scheduled for 9:30a.</p>
<p>I found a waiting shuttle for 6 USD, paid and waited.  Shuttles also cost 6.50 USD or 36.00 USD for a limousine and I assumed about 20 USD for a cab.  At about 9:55a, we left for the Hilton from where I would walk over to the Las Vegas Convention Center South Hall.  I arrived there at 10:45a after dropping passengers off at Koval Resort, the Venetian, the Mirage, Treasure Island and the Riviera.  It was a good tour but I was annoyed.  I should have taken a cab.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/cob777to20050307.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-757" title="A Continental Airlines (CO) Boeing 777-200ER takes from Houston-Intercontinental, Houston TX (IAH)" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/cob777to20050307-150x150.jpg" alt="cob777to20050307 150x150 Top 10 Worlds Longest Flights by Distance flown" width="150" height="150" /></a>I&#8217;ve been very fortunate to be able to fly almost at the drop of a hat.  I love very long flights (my friends think I&#8217;m weird, you may too) and have taken some of the world&#8217;s longest flights including the world&#8217;s longest, Newark, NJ (EWR) to Singapore (SIN) on Singapore Airlines (SQ) using an Airbus A340-500 (345).</p>
<p>These flights have been made possible with advancement in aviation and primarily two airplanes: The Boeing 777-200LR (LR is for Longer Range) and the Airbus A340-500.  The <a target="_blank" href="http://www.airbus.com/en/aircraftfamilies/a330a340/a340-500/specifications.html" target="_blank">Airbus Web site</a> states that there are 29 of these airplanes in operation and a total of 35 have been ordered.  It has a range of 9,000 nautical miles.  On the other hand, the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.boeing.com/commercial/777family/pf/pf_lrproduct.html" target="_blank">Boeing Company</a> says that the 777-200LR has a range of 9,395 nautical miles with a full passenger load of 301.  They&#8217;ve delivered 36 of the 56 airplanes that&#8217;s been ordered.  Don&#8217;t let these numbers fool you as the airlines can configure the airplanes differently so they can increase the range and they have.</p>
<p>Oh, I would be remiss if I did not mention the Boeing 777-300ER which is used by one of the airlines on the list.  Boeing has delivered 206 of the 408 on order.  The Boeing 777-200ER, the workhorse 777 is also on the list and allows these routes to be possible.  But enough of the numbers and planes, let&#8217;s get to the list.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve compiled what is today&#8217;s top 10 longest flights by distance flown along with the airlines flying them plus some more details.  Some routes which have been flown in the past are currently not being flown, such as Bangkok, Thailand (BKK) to New York&#8217;s JFK which was flown by Thai Airways (TG) on an Airbus A340-500 so it was not included.</p>

</div>
<p>Enjoy and please add your comment below.  I&#8217;d love to hear if you&#8217;ve flown any of these routes, airlines and/or airplanes. I&#8217;ve flown #1, #9 and #10.  #6 continues to elude me in either direction.  I&#8217;ve flown the #3 route, but made a stop in Sal Island using a South African Airways (SA) Boeing 747-400.  Flown #2, but made a stop in Tokyo-Narita using a Singapore Airlines (SQ) Boeing 747-400.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A look at my quick trip up to Charleston, WV (CRW)]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Houston, TX 10 Oct. 2009</strong>.  I would rather be heading to the beaches of Oahu, but the flights are full this weekend.  Instead I started to look down the list of cities that Continental serves and found that Asheville, NC (AVL) was not available, but Charleston, WV (CRW) was.</p>
<p>I then got ready and jumped in the weekend rental car that I have and headed for the airport at about 9:07a.  As its a Saturday, traffic was light and I was at the airport at 9:35a parking at FastPark.  It was about 9:55 when we pulled into Terminal B.</p>
<p>The TSA security line was minimal so it did not take long.  There was a guy who had a flight in 17 minutes, so we all allowed him to go ahead of us.  Some of the folks in the line commented that, only in Texas would he be allowed to jump the queue, adding that people in the Northeast would have scoffed at him.  Ah, northeasterners have such a bad rep.</p>
<p>There was also a young guy in his navy garb.  He had just spent nine months in Florida and was heading back home to Pittsburgh, PA (PIT) for some well deserved rest and relaxation before returning to find out where he would be deployed.</p>
<p>I cleared security after having to remove my belt as the kid in front of me beeped.  What does that have to do with my belt?  Geez&#8230;It is a new belt and I wanted to test if it would beep anyways.  To avoid any issues, I took it off and cleared without beeping.  No new see thru machines in Terminal B.</p>
<p>I then headed to the Presidents Club where I had a bagel with light cream cheese (is there really such a thing though?), some muffins and water.  I was looking for a banana, but they only had apples.  All four available newspapers (Wall Street Journal, Houston Chronicle, Financial Times and the USA Today (yesterday&#8217;s edition))  had the President Obama Nobel Peace Prize headline.  Congrats Mr. President.</p>
<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/2009-10-10_10.39.26_mod.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-645" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/2009-10-10_10.39.26_mod-300x225.jpg" alt="2009 10 10 10.39.26 mod 300x225 A very quick visit to Charleston, WV (CRW)" width="300" height="225" title="A very quick visit to Charleston, WV (CRW)" /></a>It was time to get to the gate, so I did.  I settled in after getting my boarding pass and used the power plugs that are set up to charge your phone before the flight.  Soon an announcement was made for y flight to Charleston, WV.  It was at that moment that I noticed that the flight to Charleston, SC was leaving from the doorway right next to my flight.  People were confused and also laughing, but checking their boarding passes to ensure that they board the correct plane.</p>
<p>An older lady next to me was a little confused, but I assured here that her flight to South Carolina was not yet boarding.  Some people including me took pictures of the two displays next to each other.  I looked around and everyone was checking their boarding passes to ensure they did not miss their flight or board the wrong airplane.</p>
<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/2009-10-10_10.43.02_mod.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-646" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/2009-10-10_10.43.02_mod-300x225.jpg" alt="2009 10 10 10.43.02 mod 300x225 A very quick visit to Charleston, WV (CRW)" width="300" height="225" title="A very quick visit to Charleston, WV (CRW)" /></a>When it was time, I boarded through the door for West Virginia and headed down the jetway, noticing that were signs above both jetway entrances with the city names.  At the airplane door, a couple was talking with the flight attendant as there was another couple sitting in their seat.  Oops, I thought, I believe that they boarded the wrong flight.</p>
<p>Sure enough that was the case.  The gate agent came on board and made an announcement that we are going to Charleston, WV, not South Carolina.  The flight attendant also reiterated this fact.  The couple headed off adding they do not want to go to West Virginia as their car is in South Carolina.</p>
<p>The door on this not so heavily booked Embraer ERJ-145 closed at 10:50a and then the flight attendant started her demo.  Seven minutes later, we pushed back and headed for the runway.  On our way there, the pilot made a hard step on the brakes and we changed our direction.  This was followed by another direction change.  I assumed that we changed runway and we did, we were now heading for runway 27-9 which takes you over Lee Road on takeoff.</p>
<p>I did notice a Boeing 777-200ER that had just landed and wondered where it was coming from that early in the morning.  It ended up at E4.  I&#8217;m puzzled.</p>
<p>We were number six for takeoff behind a few Continental jets as well as a Continental Connection Saab 340 and a Continental Express ERJ-145.  As it was almost our turn, here came a Delta Connection CRJ-900 who took to the runway ahead of us.</p>
<p>At 11:15a, we took to the cloudy skies breaking into beautiful sunshine as we cleared them.  Soon after the lone flight attendant came on the PA and announced the service expectations for our flight which included a snack.</p>
<p>Soon after that announcement, I smelled nail polish.  Why would anyone think that it is O.K. to polish your nails in an airplane?  People do this from time to time, please don&#8217;t do it.  I now have a headache and watery eyes.</p>
<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/2009-10-10_11.40.21_mod.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-647" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/2009-10-10_11.40.21_mod-300x225.jpg" alt="2009 10 10 11.40.21 mod 300x225 A very quick visit to Charleston, WV (CRW)" width="300" height="225" title="A very quick visit to Charleston, WV (CRW)" /></a>The flight attendant came by at 11:33a and offered a choice of a turkey or ham sandwich.  I chose Turkey which was served with mayonnaise, a pack of Fritos corn chips and a mini Hershey milk chocolate bar.  Drinks followed at 11:43a.  Trash pickup was at 11:58a.</p>
<p>I fell asleep after the battery on my MacBook died.  I awoke as we started our descent into West Virginia.  It was really beautiful as the leaves were just changing.  Also, it is a very mountainous area, so you can see homes nestled into the side of the mountains and ridges.</p>
<p>We were really close to the ground though, wow.  We made it into the runway which sits at the top of one of the mountains at 981&#8242; above sea level.  It was 2:11p when we touched down and we made it to the gate within a minute.  The pilots really hot the brakes and when we turned I realized why, the runway ended pretty short after where we turned off.</p>
<p><strong>Charleston, WV 10 Oct. 2009</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/2009-10-10_14.19.46_mod.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-648" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/2009-10-10_14.19.46_mod-300x225.jpg" alt="2009 10 10 14.19.46 mod 300x225 A very quick visit to Charleston, WV (CRW)" width="300" height="225" title="A very quick visit to Charleston, WV (CRW)" /></a>At the gate, I deplaned and headed for the exit as I wanted to see what the ticket counter area was like.  It looked like all the passengers were already at the gate as the flight departs at 2:55p.  I made it outside to the ticket counter, checked in, got my boarding pass then headed outside to take some pictures.  At the counter, there was a lady waiting as she had some liquids to put back in her suitcase.  I don&#8217;t think that was going to happen as there was no one at the counter.  In small stations, there is usually a small staff and they do everything.  Since the flight was in they were at the gate.  Also, her bags were more than likely already in the plane.  I told her I&#8217;d tell the gate she was there, but if they did not show by 2:30p, she was to make her way back to the gate.</p>
<p>After taking pictures, I walked through the baggage claim area and headed back through security.  I was the only one going through as everyone else was at the gate.  I heard an announcement that the pilot wanted to leave early so everyone should make it to the gate.</p>
<p>At the gate, I collected my boarding pass from the agent.  I told her about the lady at the counter.  Eventually I saw the lady coming up to the gate, not sure if she got her bag back.  I doubt it though.</p>
<p>I boarded when it was time and as it turns out sat across from that lady.  I heard her say that she had to throw her stuff away as she could not get her bag back.  She had like peanut butter I think she said as well as a large tube of toothpaste.  She was none too happy, but her friend she was traveling with told her she would give her some toothpaste.  It was really funny listening to them talk about.</p>
<p>The door closed at 2:54p, so much for leaving early.  Not sure what was the hold up.  I kept thinking that I was going to get booted as the airport is 981&#8242; above sea level and the flight was weight restricted as a result.</p>
<p>It was 3:00p when we pulled forward after the jetway had been pulled out of the way.  We taxied down to the lone runway and was airborne by 3:07p.  It was beautiful as we cleared the trees and saw the foliage below.  We also flew over the city and you could see the river that runs through it as well as the city&#8217;s capitol building.  I wonder how many U.S. cities have one of those capitol buildings?</p>
<p>Soon, we had some pretzels and drinks.  I was a bit tired so I fell asleep and awoke when we landed in Houston at 4:40p on 8L-26R.  It took another ten minutes to make it to the gate at B81A.  As it turns out, the airplane will now go to Charleston, SC (CHS).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Buffalo, NY 04 Oct., 2009</strong>.  My phone alarmed at 6:15a.  This was the only alarm I had set last night as I fell asleep before I could call down for a wakeks  up call.  Today&#8217;s journey will take me from Buffalo, NY to New York-JFK then to Houston, TX so I had to get an early start.</p>
<p>I got ready, called down to check on a shuttle then headed downstairs to checkout and have a quick breakfast before heading to the airport.  The ride to the airport was short as the airport is across the street.  I had a good talk with the driver who was from Dallas, TX and says he misses his son who lives there.</p>
<p>At the airport, Robert checked me in after waiting about ten minutes behind five people.  He only checked me in for that leg though.  I asked for the other leg, but he said I had to do it at JFK.  I then headed to the TSA and cleared without any incident.</p>
<p>I remembered that the last time I was here, there was a US Airways Club.  I am a Presidents Club member with Continental Airlines and I know that as a new Star Alliance member on Oct. 27, 2009, Presidents Club members can use the US Airways Club come October 27, 2009.  I popped into the Club and the nice lady there said I could use it early.  Cool <img src='http://cruisinaltitude.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile All you can jet   The beginning of the final days travel" class='wp-smiley' title="All you can jet   The beginning of the final days travel" /> .</p>
<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/DSC_3590_mod.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-659" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/DSC_3590_mod-300x199.jpg" alt="DSC 3590 mod 300x199 All you can jet   The beginning of the final days travel" width="300" height="199" title="All you can jet   The beginning of the final days travel" /></a>The Club is pretty nice with some muffins, juices, a bar and a Flavia coffee/tea machine and the usual airport Lounge stuff.  Wi-Fi is provided by T-Mobile at a charge.  I stayed there for a while and chilled just before the flight. I headed out at 7:44a just before brewing some lemon tea, but not before taking this picture.</p>
<p>At the gate, everyone was getting ready for the flight.  At 7:48a, a guy came running up to the gate for his flight to Boston at 8:00a.  Only that flight had the jetbridge pulled already.  He was none too happy.  When the agents came up from the jetway, I could see him trying to get onboard.  It was kind of fun to watch.  They did eventually re-book him on my flight at 8:20a via JFK.</p>
<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/DSC_3608_mod.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-662" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/DSC_3608_mod-300x199.jpg" alt="DSC 3608 mod 300x199 All you can jet   The beginning of the final days travel" width="300" height="199" title="All you can jet   The beginning of the final days travel" /></a>I boarded late and took my seat after saying hello to the flight attendant who looked very familiar.  I got settled in on N763JB, an Airbus A320 called &#8220;Unforgettably Blue.&#8221;</p>
<p>Before we left the gate, Captain Tom told us that our flying time was 1:03 and that we should make it to JFK early.  I was skeptical though as arriving at JFK does not really happens.  He continued to introduce his co-pilot Jason and the cabin crew, Anthony, Nick and Susan.  They were the same ones from my flight from Orlando to Buffalo yesterday.  He concluded by saying that we would cruise at 21,000&#8242;.</p>

<p>We pushed back at ontime at 8:20a and was airborne by 8:31a.  It was absolutely beautiful while heading down to JFK.  We passed right over the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge which connects Staten Island with Brooklyn, then we passed over Far Rockaway and came in for a landing into JFK at 9:36a.</p>
<p>As we taxied up to the gate, I noticed sixteen airplanes waiting for takeoff; good grief.  Our Captain had said that JFK was experiencing fog, but it should not affect us on landing.  Although I did get a tweet from @wanderingarmean saying that his flight was taking on extra fuel in case of delays coming into JFK from Houston-Hobby.  Unfortunately, he would arrive after I departed, so we would miss each other. I told him I&#8217;d wave to him as we passed each other.</p>

<p>We got to our gate at 9:49a, eight minutes late as we had to wait for an airplane to get pushed back.  The final leg of this All you can jet venture is at hand in less than two hours.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A very quick trip to Aguadilla, PR (BQN) and back to Orlando, FL (MCO)]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Orlando, FL 03 Oct. 2009</strong>.  Like clockwork, my alarm clock went off at 5:40a.  The phone rang at 5:45a and my phone went off at 5:45a.  I did not want to oversleep this morning at all.  That would just ruin the day&#8217;s plan all together.</p>
<p>I checked twitter and e-mail and then got dressed via the noise of airplane engines climbing out of Orlando Airport right on cue at 6:00a.  This hotel needs soundproof walls.  I enjoy the noise, but I&#8217;m sure others do not.  So no &#8220;10&#8243; rating for you La Quinta.  Another point deduction is for false advertising.  You said, you have Hi-speed Wireless Internet, but you neglected to say it was only in the Lobby.  You need a cable for the rooms.  The devil is in the details.  Other than that, it was a great stay.</p>
<p>I checked out and had a quick complimentary breakfast of a bagel, a muffin and grabbed a small tub of yogurt.  It was time to go to the airport via the 6:30a shuttle.  We pulled out making our first stop five minutes later at Alaska Airlines.  A couple was heading to Idaho on Alaska, the lady mentioned via Washington D.C.  Cheap fare I guess.  There is no easy way to get to Idaho really.</p>
<p>I chose to check-in via a person and was ushered to the much shorter Bag Drop line.  The agent, Robert greeted me, asked my destination, checked my driver&#8217;s license and then produced a boarding pass.  I told him that I did not get the return (as you remember, this happened in Austin last weekend as well).  I guess something is amuck with jetBlue&#8217;s system as the agents have to do something extra for connecting flights to be checked in in one entry.</p>
<p>He took back the boarding pass, checked it for the confirmation number and a few seconds later produced the two other passes for the return journey as well as the Orlando to Buffalo portion.  I then went off happily to the gate.</p>
<p>Security was not too bad and I breezed through it without incident then taking the waiting train to the 100s gates where I plugged in and connected and to the Internet.  It is time to start blogging.</p>
<p>As I waited at the airport for my flight, the David Letterman news is all over the TV.  How many different aspects can there be?  There is even a twitter reference, geez.</p>
<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/2009-10-03_07.30.34_mod.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-583" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/2009-10-03_07.30.34_mod-300x225.jpg" alt="2009 10 03 07.30.34 mod 300x225 All you can jet   Heading for Aguadilla, PR and back today" width="300" height="225" title="All you can jet   Heading for Aguadilla, PR and back today" /></a>Boarding started about 7:42a.  I was almost the last to board and as I did, the gate agent noticed my #AYCJ button and gave me a woohoo!  Onboard, I said hello to Joe the flight attendant at the door.  It took a while to get to my seat as people were getting their acts together.  Just a note, don&#8217;t put your seatbelt on if the window seat is empty and boarding is not yet complete.  More than likely someone is coming for that seat.  This was the case in a few rows including mine.</p>
<p>We soon pushed back early at 8:06a and headed out to runway 17R-35L.  We were #3 for takeoff behind a jetBlue Embraer 190 and a Southwest Boeing 737-700.  A8:16a, we were off for Aguadilla, PR (BQN).</p>
<p>The folks next to me never said a word to me the entire flight, they just watched TV the whole time.  As a matter of fact, they never said anything to each other and they were traveling together.</p>
<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/2009-10-03_09.17.59_mod.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-587" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/2009-10-03_09.17.59_mod-225x300.jpg" alt="2009 10 03 09.17.59 mod 225x300 All you can jet   Heading for Aguadilla, PR and back today" width="225" height="300" title="All you can jet   Heading for Aguadilla, PR and back today" /></a>Speaking of TV, they showed three free movies, well two Ice Age was shown in Spanish and English plus Year One.  Breakfast came soon after takeoff; the usual animal crackers, potato chips, cashew, etc. and drink of choice.  There were also offerings for a pillow and a blanket for  7 USD and headsets for those who did not get them outside for 2 USD.</p>
<p>I was checking out the flap positions on the wings and took some pictures.  Yes, that kind of stuff is fascinating.  It was interesting to see all the positions and imagine the pilots initiating the command in the cockpit.</p>
<p>It was great to see the first sight of Aguadilla, PR (BQN) perched atop the cliff off in the distance.  We negotiated our way in and landed nice and sweet at 10:45a.  I did notice the jetBlue Airbus A320 that came in from New York-JFK waiting for take off at the threshold to the runway.  I think it was a little delayed leaving.</p>
<p><strong>Aguadilla, PR 03Oct., 2009</strong>.  We pulled up to the jetway-less terminal building which is basically just a hangar at 10:46a; but a beautiful hangar though that is 212&#8242; above sea level.  I deplaned and asked permission to take pictures from the Officer nearby.  It was granted happily.  I thought I could just go to the gate, but alas the two areas were separate.  So I went outside.  I figured since I was already outside of security I should just say hello to the ticket counter agents.  They were very pleasant and even agreed to take the picture you see here.</p>
<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/DSC_3019_mod.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-573" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/DSC_3019_mod-300x199.jpg" alt="DSC 3019 mod 300x199 All you can jet   Heading for Aguadilla, PR and back today" width="300" height="199" title="All you can jet   Heading for Aguadilla, PR and back today" /></a>They printed my boarding pass after which I ran outside to take a picture of the airport.  This airport is really small. Actually, it is an old hangar which is 212&#8242; above sea level.  I then came back inside and cleared security which was a breeze since I was the last person to come through.  After the TSA, I went through Immigration who asked me where I&#8217;m from.  I told him and he said go ahead.  Puerto Rico is kind of odd with that.  You don&#8217;t need a proof of citizenship to travel there, but they ensure that when you are going to the U.S. mainland you have the legal rights to do so.</p>
<p>I then went and sat in the departure gate area which is just this huge room.  Off to one side is a tax free shop serving mostly alcohol; another odd thing about traveling to Puerto Rico.</p>
<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/DSC_3031_mod.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-585" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/DSC_3031_mod-300x193.jpg" alt="DSC 3031 mod 300x193 All you can jet   Heading for Aguadilla, PR and back today" width="300" height="193" title="All you can jet   Heading for Aguadilla, PR and back today" /></a>In front of me are the gates for Spirit Airlines, jetBlue and Continental.  I did see that headsets were free, similar to Puerta Plata, Dominican Republic; they were the old headsets.</p>
<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/DSC_3042_mod.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-562" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/DSC_3042_mod-300x199.jpg" alt="DSC 3042 mod 300x199 All you can jet   Heading for Aguadilla, PR and back today" width="300" height="199" title="All you can jet   Heading for Aguadilla, PR and back today" /></a>Boarding started in a few minutes and was split between the front and the rear stairs.  I had a chance to take the rear stairs, which was really cool.  As I walked out I saw the jetBlue Airbus A320 that was heading to New York-JFK take off.  I&#8217;m not sure why it was waiting so long for takeoff clearance as I had seen it on landing.</p>
<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/DSC_3049_mod.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-561" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/DSC_3049_mod-300x199.jpg" alt="DSC 3049 mod 300x199 All you can jet   Heading for Aguadilla, PR and back today" width="300" height="199" title="All you can jet   Heading for Aguadilla, PR and back today" /></a>I boarded through the rear stairs and the two flight attendants there recognized me from before and asked if I had a good time and where was I headed next.  I said yes and advised I was heading to Buffalo, NY.  I made my way to my seat as the cold air condensed throughout the aircraft.  People were really fascinated by all that and took lots of pictures.</p>
<p><a href="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/DSC_3136_mod.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-580" src="http://cruisinaltitude.com/files/2009/10/DSC_3136_mod-300x199.jpg" alt="DSC 3136 mod 300x199 All you can jet   Heading for Aguadilla, PR and back today" width="300" height="199" title="All you can jet   Heading for Aguadilla, PR and back today" /></a>The door closed at 11:27a and we pushed back at 11:30a.  Hector, Luis and Joe took care of the safety demonstrations as we took a short taxi out to runway 8 then taking off at 11:38a.  It was beautiful you could clearly see that the airport was at the top of a cliff with the beautiful beaches below.</p>
<p>After takeoff, the flight attendants announced that headsets were 2.00 USD and pillow and blankets was 7.00 USD.  The movies were again free since we were out of range of the entertainment satellite.  The movies today were Ice Age &#8211; Dawn of the Dinosaurs, State of Play with Ben Afleck and Year One with Michael Cera and Jack Black.  I chose to watch Year One.</p>
<p>Our service was a bit delayed due to some turbulence, but once it started I was ready for the animal cookies and cashew nuts, my all time favorite.</p>
<p>The descent started a while later and I could get a good view of the airport and downtown Orlando on the way in.  The Orlando area is like Houston is goes forever and a day.</p>
<p>N505JB, &#8220;Blue Skies&#8221; landed at 2:07p and taxied into our gate by 2:11p.  Fantastic.  I guess I could have caught the other flights I was thinking of such as the 2:40p to Newark, NJ (EWR).  But I did not want any anxiety today so I just took the easy way out, Buffalo, NY (BUF) for wings.</p>
<p>How have your Saturday been going?  Did I mention how much I loved the Aguadilla, PR area?  I have to go back and soon.</p>
