So I now had the challenge of getting across New York from JFK to EWR. If you look at a map, the two airports are (roughly) equidistant from Manhattan and (roughly) on the same level.

Shouldn’t be scary this one - I’ve done overseas trips on my own before (well once), and I’ve worn the t-shirt, and watched the video, and read the book etc. No big deal.

This flight was on time and the cabin wasn’t full, so I had the opportunity of sitting next to the window and taking a few photos.

Got to gate D21 about 45 mins before departure and it wasn’t long before they called First class to board. This was my new favourite plane - the 763 - favourite only because they hand out tablets for entertainment.

I didn’t spend too long in the LAX Flagship Lounge - just long enough to Skype Vick, grab something to eat and upload my photos onto the blog.

Woke at 4am - thinking about work who are doing a dry run today. Emails seen this morning so far don’t suggest any issues so I am happy.
