Overnight Flight
[photos to be added at a later date]
To say that my friend, Bon, and I got to the airport early is an understatement. Bearing traffic in mind, we decided to leave her house around 17:00 to allot ourselves plenty of time to get to the airport. We arrived at SFO approximately 4 hours before our flight was scheduled to take off. We were already pass the security checkpoint and sitting at the gate terminal approximately 3 hours before departure time, and that's after having a leisurely dinner at Osho and being stopped at the security checkpoint for having a water bottle in my bag. I've never traveled on an airplane post 9/11, and completely forgot to dump the offending H20 bottle earlier.
I guess you could say we were over-eager. A vacation, however short, was long overdue.
We traveled using JetBlue. Having worked the night before, I was completely exhausted this whole day. I was already dozing in and out at the gate terminal. The flight to NYC passed by as a blur. The flight crew was friendly, answered all lights promptly. They offered drinks and snacks (chips, cookies, etc.) in the middle of the night; we took an overnight flight which departed at 22:40 from SFO.
Overall, no complaints regarding the flight. There's a T.V. behind every head rest, so each person had their own T.V. set. You could watch their free channels, or order yourself a movie. Make note, they will no longer offer free ear phones after June 1 so make sure to bring your own or purchase theirs for $1.00 each.
Most of the flight was spent in and out of consciousness. Fortunately, the fellow passengers around me were inclined to get some sleep as well so the noise level was kept to a minimum.
