Review of JetBlue Airways flight from Portland to Boston in Economy

After participating in a general assembly in Portland, Me and a few girls from my church spend our last day in Portland doing a little sightseeing before catching our red-eye flight back to Boston Massachusetts.

The dormitory room I stayed in at Portland State University while attending this general assembly

Vey nice viewing posts in Corbett OR.
As the sun began to set we grabbed a quick bite to eat just outside of PDX and then headed to the airport to return our rental car. As we drove down interstate 84 towards PDX we saw a good view of Mt. Hood in the sunset

PDX was fairly busy around 7 P.M. but checking in at the JetBlue kiosk was a breeze because I was able to USE the JetBlue kiosk using my TrueBlue number to check in rather than my friends who had to wait in a long line for the counter and check in with a JetBlue agent. Although none of us were eligible for TSA's Pre-check, the line for general security was still fairly quick and we were in and out of there within 15 minutes.

We then proceeded to our gate witch was occupied by another JetBlue Airbus A320 wearing the special Blue Bravest livery wich was in an eye-catching red paint scheme in honor of New York's firefighters whom some of had come to work for the airline. This plane was headed for a red-eye flight to New York JFK.

The New York-bound flight was not scheduled to leave for another hour and a half and our flight was not scheduled for another two hours, so me and my friends parked ourselves at a empty Frontier gate witch had power ports at every one of the seats in the waiting area. Soon however my PlaneFinder app showed that there was a Frontier A320 on the downwind to PDX after a flight from Denver, and after another half-hour there was a Frontier A320 pulling up to the gate. I recognized this particular aircraft as N220FR, which is commonly referred to by aviation enthusiasts as the Ebola plane because it had to be completely decontaminated after it carried a nurse who had shown signs of Ebola after treating a patient with Ebola. We decided to relocate ourselves as we started to see deplaning passengers come into the terminal as we didn't want to be in anyones way. We did a little bit of planespotting from the terminal and I had fun showing the other girls the different planes at the gates

At about 10:30 I checked back on my PlaneFinder app and saw a Portland-bound JetBlue flight that I assumed was our flight to Boston. If the app was correct we would be flying onboard N768JB witch was a 2009-built Airbus A320-232. I was excited about this because if this airplane was built in 2009 it would have the more updated interior that Airbus had to offer that included newer seats, different-style windows, larger overhead bins and a better cabin lighting system. Soon after our flight arrived and to my luck it was N768JB

After the passengers from New York disembarked and the aircraft was cleaned, boarding for the flight to Boston commenced! I sat in 17F and my friends occupied the seats behind me.

At our seats we found a snooze kit that was provided to all the passengers onboard. Inside of it contained a sleep mask and earplugs. Nothing fancy but they were helpful later on in the flight. Boarding was sped along by the flight attendants who wanted to get out of there as soon as possible to get on the way to Boston. After the final PAX boarded they shut the main cabin door and proceeded to do the safety demo. Takeoff was a little bit after midnight PST and was fairly uneventful.

As soon as we reached our cruising altitude I opened my tray table and put my head down on it and attempted to fall asleep. I think there was only a few PAX who were watching infomercials on the free DirecTV. I slept for most of the time we were flying in the dark although at several times I was awoken from some light choppy turbulence
Unfortunately I was on the wrong side of the plane when the sun DID come up…

I didn't take any more pictures upon decent into Logan. We landed on RWY 22L and held short for a FedEx A300 departing RWY 22R. We then taxied to gate C-20 but had to wait about 5-10 minutes as there were repairs being made to our gate and it was lowered to accommodate a regional jet, not a A320. Once the gate was repaired and had been raised to the height of the Airbus deplaning commenced. It only took about 5 minutes for everyone to get off.

We then proceeded to baggage claim and then to catch a Logan Express bus.
