The Wheelchair for mrsdrron to the gate was late so we arrived at the gate when they were calling Group 4.The gate agent then ignored us so her chirpy little pusher took things into her own hands and checked us off herself then told the supervisor what she had done-she deserved her tip.When we boarded there was only 1 more F pax to board yet there were empty bins and even the last pax got his 2 bags in and the 3 brought up from the back got in as well instead of being gate checked.
AA1085. JFK-MIA. ETD-0900. Push back-0903. Take off-0926.
ETA-1215. Landed-1149. At gate-1156.
We were originally in 2A,C on a 738 but there was a change of equipment and we got an International configuration 757.So shell type seats though not fully reclining.And when you reclined the part in contact with your posterior rose some distance meaning mrsdrron's boot could not fit the space it reclined into.As well we were now allocated 1B,E.Across the aisle but staggered rows so not next to each other.Fortunately the 2 fellows in 1A,F were travelling together so we ended up in 1A,B.
Breakfast was a choice of oatmeal or an egg dish similar to a quiche.FEBO worked but even though the last to order we still had a choice.The oatmeal wasn't steel cut so we both had the egg dish.So so.

And the obligatory foot shot-
.
The crew were efficient and I got a little shut eye.On approach into MIA a little turbulence.Captain announced we would be at the gate~0845 but soon after we made a turn and started gaining altitude so did a circle of MIA.Got good views over the beaches and then down towards Key West.The Everglades looked fairly dry.
We came in at D6 and our LHR flight was at D30 so our wheelchair lady took us via the Airtrain to the gate 30 AC.Nicer than the D15 one.
Next-things start to go a little pear shaped.
