The Arriving Stats

As some of you may know I'm all about stats. This is why I like baseball too. 


Anyways, we got on this British Airways flight 225 (bought as Iberia 4646, cuz it was cheaper) departing Atlanta at 8:40pm on Saturday night. It was an old boeing (777) flight and It departed about 16 minute late but arrived just about on time in London Heathrow at around 9:45am Christmas day local time. It's an old plane with cramped seats, but you see that seat #26? That's right, that's an aisle seat b's. Oh, and it took 4198 miles and 7 hours and 49 minutes. 


After waiting about 4 hours, we got on this nice-empty-Airbus 319 British 908 with plenty of legroom. And after a couple of hours, we touched down at Frankfurt at around 4:50pm. This took 2 hours and 40 minutes 406 miles. This ticket was bought at cheapoair.com (the website everybody thinks has a sketchy name) 29 days before the day of departure at $519.90 per person. 


Some tips on booking an airline ticket----------------
I spent about a month looking for this, so if you're planning on a trip, anything around this price is probably your best option. Also, certain routes (to London, Madrid, or Luxemburg) or airlines (Iberia and local connections like Berlin Air) are good choices. The tickets are at their lowest prices about 3 weeks before the day of travel. 1 stop tickets are the cheapest to buy from websites and there ARE cheaper, more stopping tickets, but the websites can't look for the cheapest one even though they claim to. For example, I bought Johnny's tickets from Seoul to Atlanta, but I bought Seoul to Beijing to LAX and LAX to Atlanta separately. I find Cheapoair.com and Orbitz.com offer cheaper tickets than other websites. For some routes, one is cheaper than the other, but cheaper than other websites I've compared with. I'll give some more tips if you guys want.--------------


I've booked our first night at the Five Element Hostel in Frankfurt prior to the trip for 36 euros for 2 people excluding 10 dollar Hostelworld.com gold card. We used this website for 5 nights, so all in all it's a good deal. I'll continue on this later
