    Checking In

    November 1, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F

    We’re at LaGuardia Airport in Queens, New York, and ready to go on another adventure. This time, we’re going to Japan!

  • Don’t Forget a Tag

    November 1, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F

    We’ve been to do many different places but this is our first time flying with American Airlines. I’ve always felt that they didn’t have the greatest reputation but we’re willing to give them a try. American Airlines, change my mind about you!Read more

  • Headed to Our Gate

    November 1, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 55 °F

    We passed through the TSA area fairly quickly and were then permitted to proceed to our gate. I’m not sure what happened, but after walking through their full body scanners, I had to get pat down by one of their security officers. My pockets were completely empty, too.Read more

  • At the Gate

    November 1, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F

    We’re at the gate and waiting to board. The first leg of this trip will take us to Chicago where we’ll change planes to go on to Tokyo.

  • He’s Ready to Go

    November 1, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F

    Groot is ready to go also. He’s a great traveling companion and has been all around the world with us. This will be his first trip to Japan and he’s feeling very excited!

  • Ready for Takeoff?

    November 1, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F

    This is our first time flying on American Airlines and I’m hoping for a good experience. Is the flight attendant checking if the pilots are okay to fly? That’s something I’ve never seen before. Should I be concerned?Read more

  • Ready to Go

    November 1, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F

    My seat belt is fastened, my seat is in an upright position and my tray is up. I’m ready to leave! Somehow, the American Airlines plane seems bigger and more roomy than some of the others. I’m surprisingly comfortable!Read more

  • Safety First

    November 1, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F

    Although I’m sure that everything will be fine on this flight, or else I wouldn’t be here, I always take a look at the safety cards tucked into the seat pockets. I think I must be the only one who actually looks at these things because I’ve never seen anyone else reading one.Read more

  • In Flight

    November 1, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F

    We’re almost done with the first leg of our trip and will be landing in Chicago to change planes. Our experience with American Airlines was much better than I had expected and I’d definitely be willing to fly with them again.Read more

  • O'Hare International Airport

    November 1, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F

    We’re at O'Hare International Airport to change planes and, I must say, I’m very disappointed with this airport. I’ve always heard it’s such a busy place but I don’t see anyone, or anything, around.

  • Switching Planes

    November 1, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F

    We’re waiting in Chicago to switch to our Japan Airlines flight which will take us to Tokyo. I usually love visiting Chicago but I’ll be happy to leave this time. I feel like we’re in a very out of the way and forgotten part of O’Hare.Read more
