The plane pushed back about 4 minutes earlier than scheduled, and headed south to the end of the runway for takeoff northbound. The airport wasn't so busy so it didn't take too long.
Crossing Lake Huron
Landing
As usual, there was a lot of traffic over New York. We flew east above Uptown, then south into the ocean before looping around to land from the west, flying above New Jersey coast along the way. The whole process took over half an hour. AC 584 landed at 19:13, about half hour behind schedule. To make things worse, the gate was not available upon landing, so we waited on the tarmac for a few more minutes while the previous plane was pushed back.
