After another short trip to Peru, I boarded the returning flight back to USA on 28th of January. It was with LAN Airlines (my first time flying with the airline), and it was a red-eye flight that left at midnight and arrived in JFK in the morning same day. Many flights bound for USA or Europe left around the same time from the airport. There was a red-eye flight bound for Argentina next to my flight. 
My friend graciously gave me ride to Jorge Chavez Intl Airport all the way from Lima University. The airport wasn't crowded at all, but there were significant amount of passengers departing for USA or Europe that same time.

On the way to the airport, we stopped by at a Mapy's store to grab some Empanadas.

After good-byes with friends, I headed inside the terminal. The left half of the terminal are international counters.

My boarding pass for tonight's flight.

This is the southern end of the departures concourse where many flights bound for Europe and USA were concentrated in. 

My LA 530 flight was getting ready to board. Next to my gate were LAN flights bound for San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Miami. 


The boarding groups are divided according to the row passengers are seated in.

The left plane is my flight bound for New York. The right plane is bound for Miami.

The seats are either Purple or Blue in colors


AVOD system that did not have much choices.

Next to my flight was probably Newark or Houston-bound United flight


Push-back

Not too long after take-off (maybe one hour), we got a midnight snack.

It was a sandwich that had cheese, ham, and tomatoes. Dessert was a Banana Cake

LA 530 is a two-segment flight from Santiago, Chile to New York-JFK. That's why the flight route map shows route all the way from Santiago.

I woke from a good 5-hour long sleep around this point.


And the breakfast was served.

The breakfast was an omelette with no meat, fruits, banana bread, and bread. .

Looks like it's going to be cold, cloudy day in New York!
