On Tuesday I finally begin my journey to Costa Rica. This is my first trip for Aviation Photography in 2010 and hopefully will provide me with some interesting images as it is still the dry season in San Jose so there should be plenty of sunshine! Below is an overview of my journey which will take me first to Dublin (DUB), Ireland. Then it is onwards to Chicago (ORD), in the United States before arriving at my final destination of San Jose (SJO), Costa Rica via Houston (IAH), in the United States. My return journey will take me from SJO to New York (EWR), in the United States and the final leg of the journey will be to London Heathrow (LHR), United Kingdom.
 
 
 
LEG 1) Manchester - Dublin - Aer Lingus - Airbus A320 - Economy Class
 
LEG 2) Dublin - London Heathrow - bmi - Airbus A319 - Business Class 
 
 
LEG 3) London Heathrow - Chicago O'Hare - United Airlines - Boeing 767-300 - Business Class
 
 
 
LEG 4) Chicago O'Hare - Houston Intercontinental - Continental Airlines - Boeing 737-800 - Business Class
 
LEG 5) Houston Intercontinental - San Jose - Continental Airlines - Boeing 737-800 - Business Class
 
 
 
LEG 6) San Jose - New York Newark - Continental Airlines - Boeing 757-200 - Business Class
 
 
 
LEG 7) New York Newark - London Heathrow - Continental Airlines - Boeing 777-200 - Business Class
  
 
So the overall mileage that I will travel is as follows: 
 
LEG 1) MAN-DUB = 165 Miles
LEG 2) DUB-LHR = 280 Miles
LEG 3) LHR-ORD = 3,953 Miles
LEG 4) ORD-IAH = 925 Miles
LEG 5) IAH-SJO = 1,552 Miles
LEG 6) SJO-EWR = 2,201 Miles
LEG 7) EWR-LHR = 3,465 Miles
TOTAL MILES = 12,540 Miles
 
 
While on my travels I shall try my best to keep updating the blog with various images taken on either my iPhone, point and shoot digital camera or my 10D/30D DSLR so please bookmark us and keep an eye out for any updates as hopefully they shall provide an interesting insight into where I am visiting and the sights I see on the way.
