  • My First Flight Review. (PHX-STL-PHX) With Pictures!

    All right, I am going to give this a shot.

    Flew to STL for a wedding and here is the Flight Report.

    PHX-STL
    Flight:2428; N680AA
    Flight Routing:PDX-SLC-PHX-STL-CMH
    Depature Gate:C-16, Terminal 4
    Scheduled Departure:1555 (PST)
    Actual Depature:1630 (PST); Passenger Issue
    Depature Runway:26
    Scheduled Arrival:2050 (CDT)
    Actual Arrival:2106 (CDT)
    Arrival Runway:20R
    Arrival Gate:E-8 East Terminal


    STL-PHX
    Flight:1019; N330SW
    Flight Routing:MHT-MDW-STL-PHX
    Departure Gate:E-16, East Terminal
    Scheduled Departure:2035 (CDT)
    Actual Departure:2158 (CDT); Gate hold WX MDW
    Departure Runway:30L
    Scheduled Arrival:2205 (PST)
    Actual Arrival:2325 (PST)
    Arrival Runway:25R
    Arrival Gate:C-9, Terminal 4

    The flight started normal, arrived at the airport, cleared security, got to the gate and waited to check in. At the time we arrived at the gate, there were two other flights sitting there and a lot of people.

    At 1550, we boarded Aircraft N680AA and waited to push the gate and a CSS came aboard to talk to a PAX. We pushed at 1630 and taxied to runway 26 on the North Side. During the taxi, I got a good glance at the British Airways 747-400 (see pic.)


    As we powered up and took off, I got a little treat but not the best photo of an AWA Express CRJ taking off at the same time from 25R (see pic.)


    During climbout, we overfly KSDL (Scottsdale) so I snapped a rather poor shot in my opinion, but hey I am new to window views.


    A fairly smooth flight for the most part, but about 200 miles from KSTL when ran into some weather which provide nice shots going in and coming out.




    Although we took off 35 minutes late, we pulled into the gate only 16 minutes late.

    Coming home was not as easy. Although we easily made it through security, we sat at the gate for 3.5 hours. There was WX in the MDW area and delayed our inbound flight. At the time, the lighting was not very good for pictures so I only got a couple good shots.






    The inbound arrived at 2130 and we boarded as soon as the STL PAX got off we boarded. We pushed the gate at 2158 and took off from 30L. The flight was uneventful but very long.

          I think I will be doing another review next week. I am flying the United red-eye Friday Night-Saturday Morning to ORD. I should be getting to ORD at 0520 in the morning so I might stick around in the terminal to try and get some heavies.

          About the pictures, if everyone used a height of 500, I think everything would be easier to see.
