Hello folks, welcome to my first journey of the Fall 2025 Trip. So today, I’ve completed my journey from St. Louis to Los Angeles 
on Southwest Airlines Flight 2532. The flight was smooth and after takeoff from St. Louis, there were small bumps in the air. But other than that, the rest of the flight was smooth. We departed right at 1:55 PM and arrived to Los Angeles at 3:50 PM.
Now let’s go on to what I did the day before the Los Angeles trip. So on Friday, I went to see my Grandfather at 4:00 PM. Seeing my grandfather, I listened to Nigerian Music 
on his television via YouTube. Then I ate Fried Rice with Strawberry Flavored Sparkling Water. Then at 9:45 PM, I left my Grandfather’s house to stop by Walgreens on the way home to buy Oreos Reese’s Peanut Buttery Cream Cookies 
and Mint Flavored Mentos Gum before heading home to finish my packing for Los Angeles. Then waking up into the next morning, at 11:40 AM, my Uncle took me to the airport. He got me there at 11:51 AM. I’ll go on to more details in the first shot. Without further ado, I hope that you enjoy my first Fall 2025 journey to Los Angeles .

I checked in at the kiosks and printed out my boarding pass. I was assigned to Position B15 for boarding. So after printing out my boarding pass, I proceed to security and then headed off to Gate E14. Here I am at Gate E14 STL airport, my aircraft for today’s flight to LAX, parked ready for us to board.
Pushing back Gate E14 at 1:55 PM, we are off to Los Angeles. We began taxiing to RWY 12R for takeoff, then we crossed RWY 24 before we prepared for takeoff from STL airport.
Here we are entering RWY 12R before we began our takeoff roll from St. Louis
And off we go as we lifted off RWY 12R, airborne for Los Angeles
. Bye bye St. Louis, we’ll c ya later.
Since we were heading west, we banked nearly 180 degrees, to fly southwest for LA, flying over the Missouri River in Wildwood Missouri
We leveled off at FL360 somewhere over Kansas
. Then 20-45 minutes later, snacking service was distributed. What we were served was Brittle Brownies and a choice of beverages. So I took out my Oreo cookies as I was given Brittle Brownies and I got Coke Zero 
. Then fast forward, we step climbed to FL380 as we flew over Newkirk in New Mexico before we flew over Albuquerque Airport, captured from Seat 6F 
that I chose since I was at Position B15. Btw, I listened to Jose Chameleone 
after we took off from St. Louis, going throughout the cruising until our approach to LAX.
Then I chewed bubblegum after trash
was collected. Then we began our descent where the seat belt sign was turned on, which signals all passengers to be seated for preparation for landing in Los Angeles . During our descent, we flew past the Jurupa Valley as you can spot two airports before we reached the Los Angeles area, aiming for RWY 24R for landing into LAX airport.
And here we are on final RWY 24R, flying past that famous In n Out Burger
restaurant before we touched down into LAX
And here we go as we’ve just landed in Los Angeles
at 3:46 PM. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Los Angeles. So we vacated RWY 24R, crossed RWY 24L, and taxied to Gate 17B for our arrival to LAX. As you can see that we taxied past the TBIT Terminal, spotting the Austrian Airlines B777-200 parked at the Satellite TBIT Terminal and another, parked next to the Lufthansa A380 at the TBIT Terminal.
And we have just arrived at Gate 17B LAX airport. Hello Los Angeles California
. I can’t wait to see what Los Angeles will offer. And I can’t wait to go plane spotting in Los Angeles. Anyways, time to head off the aircraft and proceed to the LA People’s Mover 
to Budget Car Rental 
and in this case, It’s a Black 2024 Volkswagen Jetta . And I’m headed to La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Inglewood Hotel 
for my one week vacation before heading off to Honolulu 
next Sunday.
That completes the first journey of this flight. I hope that you have enjoyed this first journey. Stay tune for LAX plane spotting series and my next trip to Honolulu Hawaii on Hawaiian Arlines B787-9 aircraft. Without further ado, be safe and have a blessed day.
