The classic LAX icon! Lunch today at Encounters restaurant at the top. Retro decor, good food and a great view over the airport! '60s era "futuristic" music plays in the elevator as you ride up & down again! Love it.

My favorite pizza joint near LAX!

Checking out the Brooklyn Bridge!

Virgin America A320 N629VA on the gate preparing to depart as VX415 to LAX. Last flight on the long trip to LAX via Abu Dhabi. Foggy at JFK. Long taxi with about 12 planes in line to depart before us. About 45min from pushback to takeoff. We've got some minor turbulence predicted for the first hour or so and then should be smooth the rest of the way. Thinking I'll sleep most of the way. Been a long trip and a big day on our NYC transit!
