Spring 2025 Trip to Iceland - Outbound: St. Louis to Reykjavik Pt 3

Alrighty, after we have arrived at JFK airport, as you know that we had a 40 min connection, meaning that we had to quickly head to Gate 31 from Gate 36 to board our AA106 flight to London, plus itโ€™s an International Flight. So, in this third part, we flew AA106 from :united_states::red_apple::statue_of_liberty: NYC to London Heathrow :united_kingdom: for our third stop. Then when we got to Heathrow, we spend a full day at a Hotel and then went plane spotting there which I will describe in the plane spotting part, and then the final flight leaving on Monday to Reykjavik on British Airways Flight 894. So in the meantime, I hope you enjoy the AA106 flight to London Heathrow :united_kingdom:.

Aircraft: Boeing 777-300ER

So being able to make it to Gate 31 JFK airport, I decided to take a quick shot of our aircraft that was going to be flying us over the Atlantic Ocean for London Heathrow :united_kingdom:, before boarding the aircraft.


Having pushed back from the gate, the AA Safety Video was played since this aircraft has an IFE in our seat back. Then hearing that loud GE90 startup, whilst that Safety Video was playing, it then ended, then we started taxiing to RWY 31L for our departure to the northeast.


After crossing RWY 4L, it was time for us to prepare for takeoff :airplane_departure: as we entered RWY 31L


And off we go we tookoff RWY 31L from JFK airport banking left immediately after takeoff, heading eastward for our transatlantic flight to London Heathrow :united_kingdom:


Once we banked left, we then started flying over the ocean :ocean:, after leaving the NYC US :united_states: airspace headed for the UK :united_kingdom:


We then leveled off @ FL350, flying over the North Atlantic Ocean :ocean:. As blankets and pillows were distributed to each and every passenger, we were able to use the blankets to cover ourselves and rest our heads on the pillows and get a good night rest :zzz:. So then, the AA Flight Attendants started serving us our dinner which features a fettuccine chicken pasta :spaghetti: with green goddess, a Chicken Caesar Salad :green_salad:, Bread :bread:, Butter :butter:, and Haagan Dazs Ice Cream :soft_ice_cream: plus I chose Sprite :cup_with_straw: with ice :ice:. Btw, this was taken place at Seat 40L :seat:. After our dinner service, I listened to music :musical_notes: and slept in until morning time, which I will describe in the next photo.


Now in the morning time as we woke up into a Sausage, Egg and Cheese Croissant Breakfast Sandwich :croissant: :pancakes: :sandwich:, a strawberry yogurt :strawberry::soft_ice_cream: and Orange Juice :tangerine::beverage_box:. After our breakfast service, I chewed bubblegum and then we step climbed to FL390. Then we began our descent as we entered the UK :united_kingdom: airspace. Here we are now as we got near London Heathrow :united_kingdom: airport, aiming for RWY 9L for landing in to London.


Then on short final RWY 9L before we touched down into LHR airport.


And we have touched down into London Heathrow airport. Folks, welcome to London Heathrow :united_kingdom:. After landing, we exited the runway, taxiing to Terminal 3 Gate 40 for our arrival.


And we have arrived to Gate 340 LHR airport. Time for us to deplane the aircraft, head to passport control :passport_control:, and then to baggage claim :baggage_claim: before exiting the airport and spending a full day at a hotel before our final flight to Reykjavik.

That completes our :statue_of_liberty::red_apple: :united_states: New York JFK to London Heathrow :united_kingdom:. I hope you enjoyed this transatlantic journey from New York to London. And at least my mama and I made it to LHR safety, among that fire that caused it to lose power at London Heathrow. So stay tune for our first plane spotting at London Heathrow, and our final flight to Reykjavik. In the meantime, stay safe and have a blessed day/night.
