Now that Christmas break was coming to an end, it was time to head back to Fargo via DFW again. I arrived at Easterwood Airport at 10:09 where check-in was empty. Most people had already checked-in for our flight.

After our bags were sent off, it was time to clear security. Even though CLL is a small airport it still had TSA-Precheck, so security didn't take long. The small terminal consisted of two gates: Gate 1 for American flights to Dallas, and Gate 2 for United flights to Houston-Intercontinental.
To the left of Gate 2 there was an area where you could find more seating, the bathrooms, and food and snacks to buy.
Before long our ERJ-140 had arrived from Dallas.
This aircraft, N809AE, was delivered in October 2001 and is in the new livery, unfortunately. Boarding ensued and doors closed at 10:31. We pushed back a minute later.

When we were cruising, the kind male flight attendant started handing out snacks. I asked for two Biscoffs, and he gave me three, instead.
We started descending after not even twenty minutes in the sky.
