Fall 2025 Trip to Los Angeles, Honolulu, Anchorage, Atlanta and Miami - Outbound 4: Anchorage to Atlanta Pt. 1

Hello folks, welcome to my fourth journey as I headed off to Atlanta. So in this first part, I flew Delta Flight 377 from Anchorage to Minneapolis :united_states:. In real life, this route was operated on an A321neo. However in Infinite Flight, we didn’t have the A321neo in which we will have that in 2026. So we used the A321 as the approximation aircraft. So I hope that you enjoy this first leg of the Atlanta journey.

Here is how my day went. So my first leg was scheduled to depart at 9:45 PM. So I checked out the hotel :hotel: at 6:00 PM and went to Asia Garden Restaurant and I ate Orange Chicken :poultry_leg::tangerine: with Ham Fried Rice :cooked_rice:, Egg Roll, and a Sprite Zero :cup_with_straw:. Then after eating Chinese food, I drove around past the Alaska Zoo :giraffe:and then I made my way to Anchorage Airport at 7:12 PM to return the rental car :automobile:. Then after returning the rental car, I proceeded to Terminal 1 Concourse B, flying on Delta Airlines to check in. Then I got my boarding pass. Then I proceeded through security and then I made my way to Gate B9. So here go the shots of this first leg.

First Flight: Delta Airlines Flight 377 - Anchorage to Minneapolis :united_states:
Aircraft: Airbus A321
Origin: Ted Stevens Anchorage Int’l Airport (PANC)
Destination: Minneapolis-St. Paul Int’l Airport (KMSP)
Flight Time: 5hrs 16mins
Date: 11/8/2025
Server: Expert


Welp, here I am at Gate B9 ANC airport, getting ready to board at 9:15 PM for Minneapolis :united_states:. I sat at the bench after taking this shot and fell asleep. When I woke up, it was 9:30 PM and luckily I was able to board the aircraft before the gate door closes because if that had happened, I would’ve been pissed off and would’ve been rebooked to another flight. So I managed to make this first leg. So, welcome aboard Delta Airlines Flight 377 service to Minneapolis :united_states:


We pushed back at 9:50 PM, started up our CFM56 engines and taxied to RWY 33 for takeoff. We stopped in the middle of the taxi for some unknown reason before we continued taxiing.


Then we lined up RWY 33 before we were airborne out of Anchorage Alaska headed for Minnesota :united_states:


And off we go as we lifted off RWY 33 from ANC airport. Amid takeoff, we commence this red-eye flight en route to Minneapolis :united_states:. Bye bye Anchorage Alaska :united_states:. We’ll c ya next time


Climbing out over the Mountains :mountain:, we flew over Chugiak Alaska :united_states: headed eastward for Minneapolis :united_states:


We leveled off FL350 for cruise. I listened to music :musical_notes::headphone: and slept :person_in_bed: throughout the flight since it was a red-eye flight. Then the cabin lights were turned on because the flight attendants began inflight service. So for our complimentary snacking service, we were served Cheez Its and a Granola Bar. I chose Diet Dr. Pepper :cup_with_straw:. We cruised over Great Slave Lake taken from Seat 17F :seat:


Then we descended onto Minneapolis and here we are as we turned onto final RWY 30R for landing into MSP airport, flying over Nininger Minnesota :united_states:


And here we are on short final RWY 30R before landing into MSP airport


Good morning ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Minneapolis. It was 5:40 AM when we touched down into MSP airport. So we exited RWY 30R and taxied to Gate C7 for our arrival


And there goes the red-eye flight as we arrived at Gate C7 MSP airport at 5:43 AM. It was time for me to grab my stuff, deboard the aircraft and head over to Gate G9 for my 4hr 15min layover in MSP before I caught my 10:16 AM flight to the :united_states: 404 Atlanta. Welp, since we have arrived to MSP at 5:43 AM, that was a 4hrs 33min layover.

That completes the first leg of the Atlanta trip. I hope that you enjoyed this first leg. Stay tune for the final leg going from Minneapolis to Atlanta aboard another A321 aircraft. Without further ado, be safe and have a blessed day.
