Charlotte airport

Arrived at the Parking Spot around 11:30. Nice sunny day. 70 out. Traffic is light. Listened to Rick Steve’s audio podcast about cheap eats in Istanbul. Cheap is good! Sounds like we’re going to be eating a lot of semit ! https://www.sbs.com.au/food/recipes/turkish-cir…

Driver from the ParkSpot was super nice. Tipped him accordingly. Bunch of business types on the shuttle. They all stiffed him - no comment.

Stopped in a Mexican place in the American concourse to grab a salad- most likely won’t get much on the flight to JFK. Meal was actually decent

Precheck was a breeze. In the terminal 90 minutes prior to boarding.

Noticed the seats at the gate had wireless charging symbols on the armrests. That’s kinda slick. There was even a bar at at Gate B10 - guess everyone can get hammered before they get on!

Full plane (737-800) 12 folks on standby. Looks like they will have to try another time Taking off on time. 3-3 configuration. Janet and I did aisle-aisle.

Takeoff at 2:17pm - 16 minutes behind scheduled departure - rather turbulent gaining altitude. Flight is scheduled to take 2 hrs
Touchdown at 3:37. At the gate at 3:45 (I should have been a statistician!) Was scheduled for 4 pm. Quick, good flight. Comfortable seatsRead more
