It’s so warm here on the plane but Kathy is still wearing her coat, and mask. I don’t know how she’s able to stand the heat! Well, she’s always saying that she’s cold so I guess she’llWeiterlesen

The flight attendants have come around with snacks and drinks. The snack was something like a Chex Mix which I enjoyed very much. My choice of a drink was water, as always.

Lots of Room
2. Mai 2023 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 39 °F
I’m really glad that the plane is so empty. It’s so much more comfortable flying with some extra space to stretch out and relax. We’re more used to sold out flights where space is very tight.

The captain has announced that we are now descending and all seatbelts must be fastened. This trip was much quicker than I had expected it to be. I never realized how close New York is to Chicago.

On the Moving Walkway

These moving walkways are always fun, and convenient, to use. I’m wondering why they never appear anywhere other than airports. They would be so efficient anywhere where lots of people are walking.
