Hi everyone! Welcome to yet another leg of this somewhat off-series trip report! After an amazing few days at a wedding and relaxing in Los Angeles, it was time to face reality yet again and head back to New York flying on JetBlue's Airbus A321-200 aircraft. I have to say, I'm glad I was able to trade in the cold weather in New York for some pleasant sunshine in Southern California. I even got a lot done while in LA, so I'm glad to check it off my bucket list of places to travel. Anyways, without further ado, let's get to this report! ;)

Inbound flight can be found here !

Pre-flight

We weren't staying far from the airport, so we had plenty of time to spare since the flight wasn't until 10:55 PM. In fact, my parents and I ended up spending our last day eating an amazing lunch and catching up after a while, as well as relax before finally heading to the airport at around 8:40 PM.

Using the automated kiosks again to check-in for the flight

At least time time, I was able to check-in without any struggle like the last time. So, I was done within 10 minutes before I proceeded to security

Spirit Airlines Airbus A319-100, N521NK, which will serve as NK128 to BWI

From what I could remember, it was about a 20 minute wait before we were able to board

By the time I got to the gate, people already gathered to cue up

My seat: 9A

Snooze kit - consisting of ear plugs and an eye mask

View from my seat

The first thing I noticed upon settling into my seat is the entertainment system and how it is a huge leap ahead compared to the A320. There were a good selection of movies and television shows.

Legroom

Cabin view

It took about 15 minutes for boarding to be completed. The next thing I knew was that we were already pushing back from the gate.

After the short taxi to the runway, we took off at 9:23 PM

Views of Long Beach post-departure

Thanks for everything, LA! See you soon!

The inflight wifi known as Fly-Fi came on almost 5 minutes after takeoff! I have to say, it was quite remarkable

Then, I got my laptop yet again and watched some movies and TV shows on Netflix

After a few minutes, the cabin crew started to come around to take drink orders which were complimentary as always

Sprite

Inflight snacks

Cruising over Arizona

I was quite a fan of the mood lighting on this flight. As far as I can remember, it remained in this colour scheme the entire way until we started to descend for landing in New York

The small "galley" area consisting of complimentary drinks and snacks

After streaming a few episodes into a TV show, I switched to the inflight map to find out our current location

I continued to watch more episodes of my Netflix content before ultimately calling it a night over New Mexico, with approximately 2-3 hours remaining for the flight

When I woke up, I ultimately realised that we were already starting to descend into New York.

We landed at 5:03 AM, which was half an hour ahead of the schedule arrival time

Post-flight

Disembarking/Arrival into JFK

It was quite a short walk to the baggage claim area

However, it did take some time for my bags to arrive

From then on, I proceeded outside where I met my Uber driver and then headed back home during the early morning

Conclusion

To sum it all up, I'd say that this flight on JetBlue was not a bad one. It was definitely a huge leap forward from the seats on the A320 (which I found out that the airline will soon be rephrasing with the current seats on the A321-200, which is a huge relief)! I was quite impressed with the crew, who were friendly and professional throughout this red-eye transcontinental flight. The one factor I loved about this flight was the on-time performance of the flight where we departed and arrived ahead of schedule!

As always, thank you so much for reading this as this is the end of this off-series trip report. I hope you enjoyed it. I will be posting more trip reports in the near future. So, be sure to tune in next time for my next travel series coming up soon!
