We were over Lake Michigan gliding into O’Hare airport.

Usually, you cannot get both the airports in Dallas in the same frame so easily. Today, we started from Austin and then instead of a north easterly direction, went straight north to Dallas to avoid weather. Then took a sharp right turn to head to Atlanta. As we took the turn, we could see LoveField and DFW clearly from the plane!

I was in flight from Boston to Atlanta. Was exchanging messages over Whatsapp with my school English teacher who was visiting her son in Asheville. A bit later, while awaiting a response, I looked out and guess what I saw? We were flying over Asheville at that precise moment!!

This is what Google maps told me on my drive to Hilton Head Island. Now, which lane am I to stay on? The one that takes a left turn or the one that goes straight?

All these years I have been landing and taking off in JFK and never realized that Terminal 5 (which was for TWA airlines that went bankrupt after the crash in 1996 and was bought by American Airlines) is a TWA themed hotel. There are two hotel buildings, the whole decor is that of a throwback to the yesteryears. There are old vintage cars, the checking in counters are for the hotel!, there is a swimming pool overlooking the runway and even an airplane there that has been converted to a bar! Definitely check it out next time you are in JFK!
