<\/a><\/p>\nThe flight from Heathrow to JFK was pretty easy, I had hopes of reading but reading was making me sleepy so I ended up watching 3 movies on the plane, “Daddy’s Home” “Point Break” (the new one) and “Sisters”.<\/p>\n
We landed at JFK around 1:00 pm local time. \u00a0We then had to go through customs and clear security, again…. Once we were finally back through, we headed for our terminal. \u00a0I was pretty excited there was a Shake Shack in our terminal so that’s what we had for lunch.<\/p>\n
Our flight time kept changing and finally around 4:00 pm we were able to board. \u00a0We sat at the gate for a good 20 mins before the pilot came on to say we were waiting for the catering truck to come. \u00a0About 10 mins later, they’d come and gone and we were still waiting. \u00a0At this point, the pilot comes back on and tells us the airport was requiring them to open the door. \u00a0Lots of grumbles later, the door was opened and we were told we could deplane if we wanted. \u00a0Apparently there is some rule that you can’t sit on the tarmac for more than 3 hours but we’d only been on the plane about an hour. \u00a0The pilot seemed pretty frustrated we had to open the door and said Delta was on the phone “giving them a strong talking to”.<\/p>\n
Finally we were allowed to push away from the gate and make our way to the take off queue. \u00a0We were like 12th in line but the pilot said it normally was pretty quick and he was right. \u00a0But by the time we got in the air, we should have been landing in Raleigh. \u00a0It was very frustrating. \u00a0We were allowed to take the “short cut” to Raleigh, which saved us a few mins then, I guess. \u00a0We landed at RDU around 7:00 pm.<\/p>\n
Then we were headed home! \u00a0We finally got home around 9:00 pm, cuddled some kitties and went to bed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Saturday July 9 – We were up super early to catch our flight from Heathrow to JFK. \u00a0J&S drove us to the airport and we arrived around 7:30. \u00a0We didn’t know what security in Heathrow would be like so we wanted to make sure we had enough time. \u00a0As it turned out, we had PLENTY of time. \u00a0Heathrow was a breeze. \u00a0It probably took us longer to check in to our flight than to clear security. Once we were in…<\/p>\n
