Delta Air Lines let us play with an Airbus A350 at LAX for Cranky Dorkfest. She’s both a beauty and a beast! ✈️ #avgeek #crankydorkfest #lax #deltaairlines #airbus350

Great fun getting hands on with American Airlines’ AstroJet retro livery Boeing 737-800 aircraft during Cranky Dorkfest at LAX! ✈️ #avgeek #crankydorkfest #lax #americanairlines #astrojet #boeing737

We recently flew Hawaiian Airlines on their new Boeing 787-9 from Phoenix to Honolulu. Great aircraft and first class cabin configuration. #hawaiianairlines #boeing787

2024 in Review: 56 flights, 65K miles, 26 airports and 5 airlines. Less long haul flying than usual. Will have to make up for that in 2025! ✈️ #flighty #avgeek #jetset #jetsetben

After 2 decades of Marriott (formerly Starwood) loyalty and 932 nights stayed, I’ve recently made the switch to Hyatt. Achieving Globalist status through an AA fast track offer of only 20 nights in 90 days was achievable. Excited to try out this critically acclaimed loyalty program. #worldofhyatt

First post on Bluesky! Excited to have found this platform. The election result was a blow to my community but we move forward and refocus on making positive impacts and finding joy. Travel gives me life. A weekend in San Diego and a morning hike in Torrey Pines with my fiancée Mark helped me reset.
