I was gonna take pictures, but I couldn't get my camera back in time



The previous morning I had checked in online so all I had to do was go thru security. I arrived at the airport at 6:35 AM. I walked into the airport and headed toward security checkpoint A-2. It only took me 3 minutes to get thru security. After security, I preceded to walk toward gate A25. There I took a seat infront of the boarding podium. After 35 minutes, they began to start boarding First Class passengers and elite access. I was the second one to board the aircraft. This was the aircrafts first flight, so it was cold inside. First class was completely full while coach was half full. After we finished boarding, they pulled back the jetway and began pushback.

After pushback we taxied to runway 4L. There was about 15 planes infront of us. Some of them were a Song 757, Delta 737, United ERJ, Fed Ex MD-11, and continental 737's and ERJ's. Also there was a little lear jet infront of us that took up almost no runway when taking off. After we lined up for takeoff, i could see about 15 other airplanes waiting to takeoff. We didnt take up so much runway. We lifted up around Terminal B-2. After we took off we started turning west toward chicago. After 5 minutes, we were given hot towels.

During our flight, we were served with a breakfast with metal knives, forks, and spoons. Also we were served with a glass cup. We were offered the choices of a egg sandwhich or cereal. I choose the ceral. Each meal also came with a warm muffin which was good. I choose to have coke. After eating, I went to sleep. I woke up to hearing the flight attendent saying that we are within 80 miles of the airport.

We had a very smooth landing. We landed on runway 22R and after landing, we headed for gate E6 passing by the United Airlines terminal. After I got off I went to Catch my ride.

On the 19th, I will write back a report about my trip from MKE-EWR.

Hope you all Enjoy
