Chapter 171: Departure
The final exams of all the courses are over, and the next day is the long-awaited trip to New York, and Jian Yang specially chose to set off on the second day when everyone finished the exams, probably looking forward to the first solo trip with Fei'er, after all, this time I can finally get rid of the clutches of playing cards~
He booked a direct Delta Air Lines flight that took off at 3:30 p.m. and arrived at LaGuardia Airport in New York.

New York is one of the largest cities in the world, with three airports: JFK JFK International Airport, LGA LaGuardia Airport and EWR Newark Liberty International Airport.
JFK International Airport in Queens, New York, is the largest of the three major airports in New York and has the most international flights. 70% of international flights departing from New York depart from here. John F. Kennedy Airport is also one of the busiest airports in the United States and the world, with nine terminals serving more than 100 airlines.
LaGuardia Airport, named after former New York Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, is also located in Queens, and is the smallest of the three major airports in New York, and it is also one of the relatively old facilities. LaGuardia operates primarily to and from flights within the United States.
Newark Airport is located in New Jersey, 26 kilometers southwest of Manhattan; It is the second largest international airport in New York. The airport is divided into three zones: A, B, and C, with international flights generally landing in Zone B, and the other two zones for domestic flights.
ββββ dividing line of knowledgeββββ
Because Massachusetts, where Boston is located, and New York, where New York is located, are both located in the eastern part of the United States, the distance is very close, and the flight time is less than one and a half hours, so after arriving, you can pick up your luggage and go directly to the hotel where Sister Yue'er picks everyone up for dinner. However, the only thing that Jian Yang feels a little sorry for is that because the United States is the most developed country in the world's aviation industry, the domestic flights are particularly dense, so the general aircraft types are very small.
For example, the plane they flew this time was the Embraer E-175, which is a common type of aircraft in Delta, and the entire aircraft had a capacity of only 80 passengers, which still included all the crew members.
Therefore, even if the first class is chosen when booking the ticket, the first class of this small model is only a little wider than the economy class, and the overall comfort is still relatively limited. Fortunately, the flight time was very short, so it wasn't a big problem, but Jian Yang was bent on making the best arrangements for Fei'er, so he felt a little regretful.
Checkin for U.S. domestic flights generally closes about 40 minutes before departure, so it's time to arrive at the airport 1 hour early. And now it is checkin in the mobile phone in advance, and you only need to scan the code with your mobile phone to even get the boarding pass, which is very fast, and it generally takes 15-20 minutes to pass the security check.
However, the cautious Jian Yang still made an appointment with everyone to meet at the airport at 2 o'clock, and he also picked up Fei'er early and arrived at the meeting point earlier. Lin Yi and Gege showed up on time, only Lu Yichen and them were late, so Vivian could only keep apologizing.
Fei'er didn't have time to hold Lu Yichen accountable at this time, so everyone quickly went to Delta's counter to leave the checked luggage, and then a group of people hurried to the security check. Because they were all first-class passengers, they enjoyed priority security checks, which saved time in queues, so they arrived at the boarding gate very easily at around 2:40, which is very timeless.
Seeing that the time was still early, Lu Yichen pulled everyone to play the game of "you compare and I will guess" on the mobile app, in the end, the body movements are more abundant, expressive and tacit understanding, so the result is that the group of Lu family sisters and brothers won a big victory, and the other group of combinations temporarily decided by drawing lots, Jian Yang and Lin Yi, had no tacit understanding at all and were far behind.
It didn't take long for the cabin door to open, and the group lined up to get in as soon as possible.
When the economy class also began to get on one after another, the plane took off quickly.
Fei'er, who is experienced in traveling, took out a silk eye mask from her bag, and after a while, she fell asleep on Jian Yang's shoulder. After the plane flew steadily, Gege connected to the WIFI in the plane and began to continue to search for attractions in New York, although she also knew that Lin had arranged it early in the morning, but she still couldn't help but wonder what this world-famous metropolitan city looked like.
The plane landed steadily after not flying for a while, and what I didn't expect was that the big guy walked to the baggage carousel, and didn't wait for Vivian and Lu Yichen's checked luggage from beginning to end! Lost luggage!!
This kind of unfortunate thing is really spread out and there is no way, the counter staff found that the luggage was mistakenly transported to a flight to Hawaii, and it may take 3-5 working days before and after waiting for the transfer to come back and then deliver it to the door. They repeatedly apologized and compensated them with $500 airline vouchers per person for their next use.
Not only was it impossible to get anything in a short period of time, but Vivian was even more embarrassed that their business had delayed everyone else's time. Lu Yichen apologized to everyone for the delay, but he didn't mind if he couldn't get the luggage for a while, Vivian should have updated her wardrobe a long time ago, and where better to do it than New York, the capital of fashion? While comforting Vivian, who was depressed, he was thinking about what to do for Vivian~
Walking out of the airport terminal, the two drivers arranged by Melissa had been waiting for a long time. In front of the airport, in addition to quickly picking up passengers, there is no longer a stop at all, so the driver has already turned around here several times.
When they came out, one of the drivers immediately trotted out of the car and walked towards Lin Yi.
"Mumu, it's great that you arrived safely, you and your friends have all the luggage to Xiao Wang, and then take my car and go directly to Lumingchun." The person who spoke was Uncle Huo, a full-time driver of Lin Yi's father's company in New York, and he naturally knew Lin Yi, and from the point of view of the title, the relationship was still very close.
Although Lin Yi is cold to everyone except the girl he likes, he has never had a young master's shelf, and he is very polite and polite to employees at all levels in the company, including the aunt at home, so these employees also like him very much.
As soon as Huo Shushu's words fell, a young friend behind him immediately stepped forward, bowed very politely to Lin Yi and quickly took the luggage in his hand, presumably this is Xiao Wang. Lu Yichen and Jian Yang were not idle, so they helped push the rest of their luggage to Xiao Wang's car. After confirming that the luggage was in the car, Xiao Wang drove away, and his task today was to pull the luggage directly back to the Lin family's apartment.
The rest of the people got into the car driven by Uncle Huo - Tesla's Model X, it is estimated that they drove this car because of the large number of them, others don't know, but Lin Yi knows that this is his father's self-driving car in New York, and the business car that the company usually uses to pick up and drop off is not this one.
After everyone was seated, Uncle Huo sent the car, and said to Lin Yi beside him: "Mumu, your mother said, I will give you the key when I send you to you in a while, you will drive this car during your time here, if you need anything, call me at any time." Let's go to the Lu Mingchun on the island now, right? β
Uncle Huo's Lu Mingchun is a chain of three Shanghainese restaurants located in New York City, and its English name is Joe's Shanghai Restaurant. Lu Mingchun's three chain stores are located in Flushing, Queens, Midtown Manhattan and Chinatown. The most well-known specialties are pork and crab roe soup dumplings, and a group of regulars have developed from this. Lu Mingchun has been mentioned in many well-known food and beverage magazines, such as TimeOut's New York edition, and has been recognized as one of the top restaurants in New York's Chinatown by Zagat, a well-known restaurant industry review organization. In addition, there is also a Lumingchun Hotel in Liaoning.
And the "island" he said was naturally the Manhattan Island that the locals understood, and after getting Lin Yi's confirmation, he drove the car out.
Except for Gege, who was a newcomer to New York for the first time, everyone else had been here before, and some had more than once, so Gege was the only one who was instantly disillusioned with New York.
To be honest, New York's first impression of Gege was really ...... Too bad. When I usually watch American dramas and movies, New York is obviously not like this, why does New York not look tall at all...... And the whole city looks like it's dirty, and the driver drives it fiercely......
Although Gege came out of City B, he spent more than a month in Boston, and felt that Americans were too civilized to drive, and the perception that he had built up with great difficulty collapsed in New York in an instant...... People in New York drive too unruly, overtaking horns are chaotic, and the traffic is also very bad, and the navigation can be reached in 18 minutes without traffic jams, but it is still stuck on the road for almost an hour.
Uncle Huo pressed his hand on the steering wheel, and said to Lin Yi beside him: "The road conditions are really good today, just because Mu Mu is here, New York is giving you face." β
Gege is dumbfounded, it's all blocked like this, and the road conditions are good? What would it look like if the road conditions were bad? It's really unimaginable.
All in all, the car moved forward almost inch by inch, and finally got everyone to their destination. The narrow streets of Manhattan could only be parked on the side of the street, and perhaps it was really as Uncle Huo said that New York gave Lin a face, and as soon as they arrived, they caught a car and drove it out just as soon as they arrived, so he drove the car steadily into it with a nimble side. After everyone got out of the car, Uncle Huo handed over the car keys to Lin Yi, and then left in a hurry.
It was not too early, so everyone hurriedly walked into the restaurant, asked the waiter about the approximate location, and went straight to the eldest sister Lu Yue'er, who had been waiting for a long time.
Walking upstairs, Lu Yichen saw at a glance that her sister, who had not been seen for a long time, was sitting alone at the end of a long table, looking at her mobile phone and hurriedly replying to something.
He crept behind her mischievously, and suddenly hugged the eldest sister from behind, if it were an ordinary girl, I am afraid that she would scream, but Yue'er's personality is naturally calm and steady, she just raised her head and said in a firm tone: "Lu Yichen, don't you move your hand away Believe it or not, I will throw you out of the shoulder with an over-the-shoulder fall?" β
