UA 7244 EWR-IAD 10:05 AM-11:31 AM
Arrived EWR and reprinted my BP, a gold one with zone 1 for 3P. Passed throught security quickly with the TSA agent commenting on my cute haircut (as opposed to the one on my passport photo
My first flight was uneventful, 40 minutes en route (10:08-1048 am, no bev service), except for:
1. I was the only zone 1 pax. There were also no 1K, Global Services, etc. either.
2. We landed 43 minutes early.
3. The plane was full of French students and I got to hear lots of French spoken during boarding! French language, culture is totally addictive! I must have been French in my past life!
Oh yeah, and there is NO good seat on the CRJ. Legroom in row 1 is limited due to the bulkhead (but it was the only aisle seat when I snagged it yesterday from my original seat of 1A) and in front of my seat 1D, there was an air vent sticking out!
UA 7272 IAD-ROA 12:44 PM-1:40 PM
We boarded on time, backed away at 12:40 pm, and were airborne by 12:56 pm. This was an odd CRJ, no lav in the back and an FA seat in the front and back, but I believe the lav was in the front on the DF side (?) There were only 17 passengers, so we were encouraged by the FA to “spread out and be comfortable.” This flight was also uneventful and extremely quiet; bev service was by request only. We landed at 1:31 pm, 9 minutes early.
