Sup everyone, well it’s that time, I’m about to hop on a B787 and hop across the Atlantic and into a new country that I can check off my list! I just arrived into Philadelphia from CLT and from Florida the day before, Thanksgiving trip to Lisbon! (Part 1, first 2 flights). But now it’s time to cross the pond, the flight overall went by pretty quick and it was a nice and smooth ride over to Portugal! So come along with me and we can go on this journey together, enjoy!
Flight Number: American 258
Airplane: Boeing 787-8
Route: Philadelphia (KPHL/PHL)-Lisbon(LPPT/LIS)
Flight time: 6 hours and 5 minutes
Server: Expert, WHICH OTHER SERVER IS PROFESSIONAL, so that’s why
Here is our ride across the pond tonight on the great 787!
Just arrived at my seat, 23A, after a long line walking onto our aircraft which was a pain. I was greeted with a pillow and blanket and the lovely flight attendant was nice enough to serve me a cup of water. I booked economy class since this flight is only a 6 hour overnight and I would rather save my money for business class on the way back to the states since it will be a longer flight.
We are just about to line up onto runway 27L, then we will be off!
Here we go, bye USA, Europe here we come!
We are about an hour already into the flight, so ima recline my seat back and try to head to sleep, on these overnights I’m usually in business class but this flight is only 6 hours so I don’t need it, but anyways catch y’all in the morning, I will try to be up when we hit the beautiful European sunrise.
And good morning from almost the other side of the Atlantic, we are about an hour out from Iberia land, the flight has been pretty good and I was able to get a good amount of sleep, now I will shut up so we can watch the nice sunrise!
We are on our descent into Lisbon, these are some amazing views out my window, we are almost there, I’m getting pretty exited!
We are going around because the captain was too busy looking out at the wonderful views of Lisbon that we had an unstable approach since it was very windy, come on pilots, get it right next time and pay attention to turbulence, lol!
Let’s try this again shall we.
After a nice 6 hours, WE MADE IT! I can smell the nice Portugal air which smells different than the US in a unique way. But now I am gonna reclaim my luggage, then I am gonna get my rental car (Toyota Highlander) and spend the next few days in Lisbon, and I have some friends who I am meeting up with here, then we will hop on my 7 day cruise around Spain and arrive in Barcelona on the Norwegian Pearl cruise ship! Then I will fly out of Barcelona and head back to the states in 12 days!
Check out my last trip report on my 2 flights up to Philadelphia, Thanksgiving trip to Lisbon! (Part 1, first 2 flights), and may God bless all of you and I hope you all have had a wonderful thanksgiving, thanks for reading and have a blessed day!
