Early Summer 2025 Trip to St. Maarten and Dubai - Return: Dubai to St. Louis Pt. 3

Alrighty folks, so I have arrived at Chicago O’Hare Airport at around 2:55 PM. So then I proceed through the passport control :passport_control: after getting off my previous flight. Getting to the passport control :passport_control:, the line was very very long. There were bunches of people arriving from different countries internationally. So it took me over one and a half hours to get through passport control :passport_control: before I finally headed off to catch the ORD Automated People Mover :train: from Terminal 5 to Terminal 3. So getting into Terminal 3, I already have my boarding pass in handy. I wind up going through security and then proceeded to Gate H9 as I have looked at the airport display, as I walked through this Chicago O’Hare’s Terminal 3, which reminds me of the Home Alone scene where the family was late for their flight, and my first time on a Boeing 737 MAX, on a short hop on this final leg from Chicago to St. Louis :united_states:. So I hope you enjoy this final leg.

Aircraft: Boeing 737 MAX 8

Here I am at Gate H9 ORD airport, my first time on a B737 MAX 8. I have never flown a Boeing 737 MAX 8 before so my first time on it. So here it goes, getting loaded up, welp not really since it was a short flight meaning that we wouldn’t have any inflight service. So let’s get this AA Flight 1926 service to St. Louis :united_states: started.


Alrighty, we boarded the aircraft at 6:30 PM and then we pushed back from Gate H9 at 7:00 PM, with its welcome announcement and the safety demo being demonstrated and the startup of its Leap 1B engines before we started taxiing to RWY 10L for takeoff from ORD airport. Then we started taxiing, leaving the terminal area and onto next taxiway, adjacent to RWY 10L.


“Flight attendants, prepare for takeoff”, the captain says as we got on RWY 10L in prep for takeoff from ORD airport.


And off we go we tookoff from RWY 10L from Chicago :united_states: on our way to the :united_states: 314 St. Louis, with the quietness sounds of its Leap 1B engines


Here we are after we took off from Chicago O’Hare, climbing above 10,000 FT over Seymour Illinois :united_states:, which is Southwest of Chicago, en route to St. Louis :united_states:


Then we leveled off at FL300, flying over New Lenox Illinois :united_states: taken from Seat 24F :seat:, listening to Calibre 27 :musical_notes:, blasting through my AirPods :headphone:. Unfortunately, there was no inflight service due to its short cruising time since it’s a short flight. So I took out my snacks that I bought in Dubai :united_arab_emirates: before leaving back to St. Louis :united_states:.


Then I chewed on bubble gum and then we descended, flying over Southwestern Illinois :united_states: before making our way across the Mississippi River entering the St. Louis area inbound for landing RWY 30R STL airport.


“Flight attendants, prepare for landing, as we aimed for RWY 30R in preparation for landing into St. Louis :united_states: as my AirPods are put away, tray tables are up, and seats are in their upright position. After flying across the Mississippi River, here we are on short final RWY 30R before touchdown into the :united_states: 314 STL


Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back to St. Louis :united_states: as we landed RWY 30R. We exited RWY 30R and here we are crossing RWY 30L before we taxied to Gate C10 for our arrival. I called my Uncle to come pick me up from the airport and take me home :house:.


And we have arrived at Gate C10 STL airport on my first time on the Boeing 737 MAX 8. What a great flight I had on the Boeing 737 MAX 8. So time for me to grab my stuff, exit the aircraft, and proceed to baggage claim :baggage_claim: and then exiting the airport to wait for my Uncle to pick me up and taking me home :house: to eat dinner :pot_of_food: and go to bed :person_in_bed: to wrap up this Early Summer 2025 Trip to :sint_maarten: St. Maarten and :united_arab_emirates: Dubai.

And overall, that completes this Early Summer 2025 Trip to :sint_maarten: St. Maarten and :united_arab_emirates: Dubai. I hope that you have enjoyed my whole journey plus the plane spotting series at St. Maarten. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go plane spotting in Dubai because it’s illegal to take photographs of aircrafts, not only in Dubai :united_arab_emirates: , but all over in the Middle East such as Doha :qatar:, Abu Dhabi :united_arab_emirates:, etc., because there are cops present and if I get caught, I could be questioned and I could even be imprisoned. So to be on the safe side, that’s I didn’t spot planes in Dubai. But anyways, I had an amazing time in Dubai :united_arab_emirates: and I cannot wait to travel again to Dubai :united_arab_emirates: soon. So anyways, on July, me, Laura, Aunty, and my Uncle will be traveling to Naija :nigeria:. So stay tune for our Naija journey. So without further ado, be safe and have a blessed night.
