Sorry about the lateness of this report of this report but you know, better late than never.
So we packed up and left the Luxor Hotel on a glorious sunny morning, we arrived at the airport nice and early and got dropped off at the Continental Airlines entrance, check in was easy and quick and after handing our luggage over we went through to the departure lounge of the ‘A’ gates.
Was glass sided so could see all the activety outside, we got some food and waited for our flight to be called, soon enough it was and we started boarding at gate A19 i had seat 8A.
We had some delays while the pilots did some engine start ups soon enough we were taxiing out to Runway 19L for departure, after a amooth take-off we were climbing and while doing so we passed over the Grand Canyon and we had a great view, flight was uneventful really we got our breakfast and i started to watch the movie ‘Starsky & Hutch’.
After four hours or so we started to desend and couldnt really see anything as it was cloudy after a while we were on final approach to Runway 22L at EWR which seemed a lot faster than most landings after a smooth touchdown we taxiied to a gate a Terminal C.
All in all another fantastic flight with Continental Airlines 😀
