About



I’m your average traveler.
Well, maybe not so average… I fly pretty frequently. I'm happy when I get a good seat, frustrated when flights are delayed, and am very much appreciative of Southwest Airlines' bags-fly-free policy. I am blessed to live the life I'm living.

I have this blog because I have stories to tell, people to meet and places to visit. I’d like to share my experiences with whoever stops by!

NOTE: I am not affiliated with Southwest Airlines, I just
happen to fly them.
A lot.

Flight 672, 1536, 1568

DAL - ELP 1/20

I was so excited to fly home and see my hubs this weekend - It had been 9 days since I left Phoenix and temporarily moved to Dallas. The flight in was great - although I did learn that I prefer a stop where I have to change planes so that I can get up and walk around. On this flight, there was no plane change and I began to felt claustrophobic/antsy towards the end of the flight. 

I sat next to a super nice guy who also works at HDQ. We chatted back and fourth about aviation and the company. 

ELP - PHX

There were so few people on this flight that we all got our own rows. The guy that was sitting next to me ended up moving to the row across from me and laid down on the seats like it was a bed. I gotta learn to do that… Especially since these flights home every weekend will be 4 hours! I was so happy to have landed in Phoenix that I started crying when I saw my guy’s car pulling up. I hope we never have to go that long again without seeing each other!

PHX - ABQ 1/22

After getting in to Phoenix at 11pm on Friday, I was awake at 5am Sunday morning to catch the first flight out. The guy that was on my flight out on Friday ended up being on my flights home this morning! Needless to say, at 5am, I felt like a zombie… and quite frankly, as soon as I got on the plane to ABQ, I passed out. I woke up when we began our bumpy descent.

ABQ - DAL

We had an hour layover in ABQ, which wasn’t all that bad because I was able to walk around a bit. When we got on the plane, I was pretty surprised to see that the only available aisle was the last row of the aircraft. I do remember it being super bumpy on takeoff and super bumpy on the landing. It’s a good thing I got out of Phoenix early today, because I’ve heard there have been some delays all throughout Texas.

Hope you guys had a great weekend!
