AA 787-9 in J: CUN-DFW

The Air Margaritaville restaurant was right across from our departure gate so we waited for boarding to start before grabbing our bags and heading for the jetway. Priority boarding was enforced and we were quickly onboard and turning left into the familiar J cabin on the 787-9.

American Airlines
AA 1507
CUN-DFW (Cancun International - Dallas/Fort Worth International)
Seat: 3A (Business)
B787-9 (N838AA)
Scheduled: 7:46p-9:45p
Actual: 7:41p-9:38p











Upon boarding, everyone was handed a ziploc bag with a bottle of water and a Biscoff cookie. No PDB was offered and we pushed off the gate about 5 minutes early. We took off to the east and made a big left turn to head towards Dallas. Once in the air the FA’s sprung into action and was one of the best AA crews I’ve had in a while. Drinks were proactively refilled throughout the flight. Meal option was the same as on the outbound, sandwich or cheese tray. I once again went with the cheese tray and settled in, rewatching The Big Short.







We arrived at the gate at DFW about 5 minutes early and with no line at customs were quickly curbside to catch the shuttle to The Parking Spot.







We met the GF’s parents near the airport to pick up Gumbo and less than an hour after landing we were pulling into the garage at home.





Thanks for following along on this trip! Next up, to Colorado Again and Again, skiing Breckenridge, Vail and more.
