Monday April 3, 2006
Woke up around 05h15 in the morning (still had some jetlag). After packing my clothes my dad and I ate an egg roll a few blocks away, since I was travelling alone we opted for the hotel shuttle. At 07h30 I told my dad goodbye and off I was. On the way over to LGA I had a really nice talk with the driver. At around 08h15 I arrived at LGA, I checked-in the day before but I could not print my boarding pass so I went to the counter and received a BP for seat 9B (I used to prefer an aisle seat) after going thru security I went to the gates.

The terminal I was in had 7 gates 5 of them where occupied by DL and 2 by NW on the way over I spotted

N905DE flying to ATL

Welcomed by a kind and funny F/A, who really enjoyed her work. I found myself to be in seat 9B, and after a few minutes I moved to 9A. the welcoming P/A went something like this.
“Welcome aboard Delta Connection flight 5762, just in case you did not know this yet this plane is going to GSP”

I was in the row behind the exit (row 8) and I overheard her saying the instructions:
“Ok first we will be smashing the ground, after that you will hear me scream then…”

We then pushed back on the way to our runway I spotted

Routing went towards Philadelphia and Washington, then to Charlotte,NC where we started our descend. http://gc.kls2.com/cgi-bin/gc?PATH=LGA-PHL-IAD-RDU-CLT-GSP%0D%0A&RANGE=&PATH-COLOR=red&PATH-UNITS=km&SPEED-GROUND=&SPEED-UNITS=kts&MARKER=1&RANGE-STYLE=best&RANGE-COLOR=navy&MAP-STYLE=

Our aircraft was built in 1999. the seats where narrow, but since the plane wasn’t full it was ok.
