CO421 23JAN09 Houston-Intercontinental, Houston TX (IAH) to San Jose, CA (SJC) 6:37p 8:58p 738 N??218
Flight Time: 3:41
I boarded the airplane making my way through the 2-2 First class with leather seats into the 3-3 Economy class cabin with its cloth seats.
The overhead space was filling up, so I quickly too the next available overhead space, then made my way to my seat. As it turns out, the lady I was talking to out by the gate was siting at the aisle.
The door soon closed and we pushed back at about 6:38p. The engines then started and we made our way out to the runway. The traffic was light so we were on the active runway at 6:58p.
I fell asleep when started our takeoff roll and when I awoke, we were being served dinner. This was a hot pizza with a salad and a Kitkat bar. By now the movie "City of Ember" with Bill Murray, although I think it should have been the "Rocker."
After cleaning up the thrash, we were served a second drink service. All this time, I was reading the "Financial Times" I had picked up from the Presidents Club earlier. I then got out the trust MacBook and started to do some writing.
As I was at an exit row seat, I had no issues with space. I looked across from me and the lady at the aisle also had a similar MacBook.
I continued working which was great as I got to finish editing a document that I had forever. The flight attendants came around with some water and I took a cup. By now, the movie was finished and some other programs were on.
It was 10:04p (8:04p local), when the Captain came on the PA and announced that we should be starting our descent into California shortly. So we should buckle up as it will be a bit turbulent. He also added that it was low ceilings, temperature at 55F and the winds from the NW. Great, I thought, no mention of rain.
We descended into the dark night. It was hard to see outside. The airport became visible barely before landing.
