February 24, 2026: United Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 Denver to Fort Lauderdale FULL Trip Report

Описание: Here’s the first trip report to Fort Lauderdale.

This was our plane, a United Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 bound for Fort Lauderdale, Florida as UA1374, N17425 at Gate B41 on Tuesday, February 24th. We were there until the 26th. This plane was two weeks old. I did not post any pictures of my trip to Fort Lauderdale earlier this week until after the trip because of the death of my grandmother and we had to fly there for the funeral. I valued my privacy and didn’t want to publish it until later. I usually document my trip but I didn’t this time because I wanted people to respect our privacy as we didn’t want to make a big deal from our grief, because then people would be wanting to see me. I didn’t want to say no so I didn’t say anything at all. I did practice a little bit of volleyball on Wednesday, the 25th of February before the funeral but did not play an actual game. (0:00)

Overall, it was a boring flight. Taking off at night left me with nothing to really do on board.
