Since I’m visiting Los Angeles for Thanksgiving, I did this flight from my hometown to celebrate the occasion, a route I’ve done many times before, on the 737-800, 737-900ER, and A321-200. Recently, this particular flight has exclusively used the A321, although today we will be using the venerable 737NG. Sorry in advance about how dark everything is; the moon wasn’t up and I’ll probably redo this route at a different time of day, since there are anywhere between 2-3 Delta flights between BNA and LAX daily.
