Blog 16, 2/8/2023: Preview of the Los Angeles Trip
Well, we are 9 days from departure and I’m excited!
This trip will feature two flight reviews (the Boeing 757-300 and the Boeing 737-800), two hotel reviews (the Thompson Hollywood Hotel and Le Meridien Delfina Santa Monica) and a number of different food and restaurant reviews plus a culture and city review of Los Angeles and Santa Monica!
United Airlines’ Boeing 757-300, I’ll be taking from Chicago-O’’Hare (ORD) to Los Angeles (LAX) - mid- to long-range narrow-body twin-engine airliner, often used by American domestic carriers such as United for short to mid-range hops, or flights. Estimate flight time: 4 hours, 40 minutes.
