Christmas 2024 Trip to the 305 Miami: Outbound - St. Louis to Miami

Hello folks, welcome to my Christmas 2024 Trip from St. Louis to Miami ๐Ÿ˜Ž ๐ŸŒด๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ that I have done. I hope you enjoy these shots upon American Airlines Flight 2786 from STL-MIA. So before the trip, I went to see my Granddad and then drove around St. Louis a little. Upon leaving Granddadโ€™s, I stopped by Walgreens to buy me Golden Stuffed Oreos and Mentos Gum before heading home to pack up my bags, and pray with my Aunty before heading to bed ๐Ÿ›๏ธ. Upon getting ready to be dropped off at the airport by my Uncle, I went in, checked in, got my boarding pass, went through the security before I headed off to the gate and my plane was parked there ready to fly me to Miami ๐ŸŒด๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ. And as I arrived to Miami, I contacted my friend Laura to pick me up from the airport and then my Mama before bringing us to Grandmaโ€™s house to see Grandma and my Aunty. Without further ado, once again I hope you enjoy these shots.

Alrighty once again as mentioned earlier as I am here at Gate C10 STL airport, snapping this shot of my plane before boarding down to the ๐ŸŒด๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ 305 Miami. Welcome aboard American Airlines Flight 2786 service to Miami.


After pushback, here we are as we taxied out for RWY 12R for takeoff out of STL airport.


After crossing RWY 24, we continued taxiing to RWY 12R before making our right onto next taxiway and then here we are about to line up RWY 12R before we blasted out of STL airport


And blast off we go we are airborne as we just lifted off RWY 12R, off to Miami. C ya later ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ 314 St. Louis.


Approximately 2 minutes after we tookoff, we flew over the Mississippi River and then flew past SUS airport as we climb to FL370 for our cruising altitude


As we leveled off FL370 somewhere Southern Illinois ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ, the Sun โ˜€๏ธ started to rise. Upon sunrise, the AA Flight Attendants started the complimentary service which all passengers got both Biscoff Cookies ๐Ÿช and Colored Bag Mini Pretzels ๐Ÿฅจ. So prior to getting those, I took out my Golden Oreos ๐Ÿช and got Apple Juice ๐Ÿงƒ. I got the blue bag, reading DFW Mini Pretzels ๐Ÿฅจ. And listened to music ๐ŸŽถ ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐ŸŽง en route to Miami and was awake throughout the whole flight, starring out the window at Seat 23F ๐Ÿ’บ as we flew over
Prattville Alabama ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ, which is south of Birmingham airport.


Fast forward to our descent phase as we entered the Florida airspace, flying over Naples ๐ŸŒด๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ before flying through the Florida Everglades ๐ŸŠ and making our way onto the Miami airspace, aiming for RWY 9 MIA airport


After that, we were on short final RWY 9, just seconds before we touched down into Miami.


After landing in Miami, we vacated RWY 9, crossing RWY 12 before taxiing to Gate D34 for our arrival. And I contacted Laura to let her know that I just landed in Miami for her to start making her way to MIA airport to pick me up and my Mama up from the Tri-Rail station ๐Ÿš‰.


And I just arrived at Gate D34 MIA airport. So, time for me to grab my stuff, exit the plane, take this picture before heading off to baggage claim ๐Ÿ›„ via the MIA SkyTrain, and exiting the airport to be picked up by my friend Laura, and my mama to be picked up, and then heading to Grandmaโ€™s house for our Christmas 2024 vacation.

And that completes the St. Louis to Miami flight. I hope you enjoyed it. If so, give a like and stay tune for some MIA plane spotting with the B737 MAX 8 in the house. So have a blessed and Merry, merry Christmas ๐ŸŽ„ and a Happy New Year ๐ŸŽŠ.
