Good afternoon from Saint Louis! Got a great shot of the MAX wing on our pre flight walk around


Blasting out of Missouri, heading due north for Minneapolis


Looking south at Saint Louis from the Illinois border


Up at 32,000 feet for our brief cruise on this hour long hop across the Midwest


Flying over the City of Rochester as we begin our arrival into the Twin Cities


Banking over some very fancy houses on Lake Minnetonka


On short final for a very gusty landing in subzero Minneapolis


Welcome to MINNESOTA (IYKYK)

I’m surprised you didn’t do something with Iceland Air

I meant that I was surprised Iceland Air wasn’t his first flight choice

I wanted my first IcelandAir flight to be KEF-MSP, and that’s like 6 hours, which I didn’t have time for.
