Okay here it is,
After spending 3 days in FLL and visiting my mom I was heading back to school. I heared that my school flooded and there was a chance of no school tuesday (today) I was praying. I was taking some pics with my new camera of my condo down there to show to family that wanted to see it. (My mom just got me a camera the day before, a sony cyber shot DSC-F88 ( http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start ProductSKU=DSCF88&Dept=dcc_DIDigitalCameras&CategoryName=dcc_DIDigitalCameras_Cyber-shotDigitalCameras )
tried the night before to check in on-line but it didn't work so I was trying again and was getting no luck. It must have been due to the fact I got switched from going FLL-CLT-PIT-SYR to just FLL-PIT-SYR due to the Ice storm. I left my condo at 11:30 for the 1/2 hour drive to FLL. Got to the Check In counter a little after 12:00. I decided to use the self Check In and to my delight I got the Exit Row for both my flights, AGAIN!!! I wondered around terminal 3 a little bit and was hopeing to grab a bite at Chilis but there was a wait of almost an hour. I said the hell with it and went through security and passed by easily compared to last time I flew out of FLL. I woundered around the US wing and didn't see much. I saw that US has a lot of one stop international flights. Flt #2 was going to FCO via PHL and Flt # 161 was going to MAN via CLT. I took some pics with my camera.

Boarding was quick for the flight. Mostly zone 1 and 2 members. I was in zone 5 and seat 10F. I got quickly seated and was one of the last on the plane. Turns out the only empty seat on the plane was the middle next to me so besides the fact of having more legroom I got more space as well. They played the saftey video and pushed us back. Flight #2 (Shown above) was pushed back at the same time as us so I got a few pics.

Took a few more pics while we taxied to runway 13.
Shows you how big US really is at FLL. Had 8 planes there on a monday, can't picture it on sat. Here are two planes one going to LGA the other going to CLT.

Listened to my CD player for about 2 hrs, nothing happened really. Was hopeing to see some great scenery out the window but all I could see were clouds and Ice on the ground.

Not much to say about this flight, we left early from PIT. I couldn't take many pics cause I need to "install" flash on my camera. Nothing happened on the flight, another drink service and I got a great view of BGM, ELM, and ITH!!! Tryed to get some pics but it didn't work. We landed early and quickly got off to let the crews get ready for the last US departure of the day heading toward PHL. Got one last pic of SYR before I headed home.

All in all a good flight, got the exit row which made me happy. Nothing really happened so nothing really to write about. I would give US only a B- because their service has gone down and since flying B6 it seems like a waste of 3 hours of my life flying that route. I WILL however fly US again because I know they usally do better and besides the fact I am already booked to fly them again on the 19th.
