🛫 Flying on Real ID Day: From San Juan to Newark — Against All Odds

🛫 Flying on Real ID Day: From San Juan to Newark — Against All Odds

May 7th marked a turning point in U.S. air travel: the long-awaited Real ID Day. While the skies were filled with confusion and hesitation, I decided to fly—straight into one of the most controversial airports right now: Newark (EWR).

Many were being advised to avoid flying to Newark due to recent operational challenges, delays, and passenger complaints. But as always, my mission with Skies & Roads is to document reality from the front row—no matter how turbulent it gets.

🛬 The Flight Details

• Airline: Frontier Airlines
• Aircraft: Airbus A321neo
• Tail Number: N621FR
• Route: San Juan (SJU) ➡️ Newark (EWR)

The A321neo is one of Frontier’s newest and most efficient aircraft, offering quiet engines and improved fuel performance. Despite being an ultra-low-cost carrier, Frontier’s sleek A321neo offers a surprisingly modern inflight experience—with powerful takeoff, smooth cruising, and some of the best window views of the Atlantic.

🎥 What to Expect in the Video

In this upcoming video, I share everything—from the moment I walked into Luis Muñoz Marín Airport with my Real ID, to landing in the chaos and concrete of Newark.

You’ll see:

• Check-in and boarding at SJU
• Smooth skies and scenic views over the Atlantic
• Honest moments inside the cabin of Frontier’s A321neo
• A nearly packed flight despite the warnings
• Arrival and first impressions at EWR on Real ID Day

💭 My Take

Flying on a day full of doubt reminded me why I started this journey. It’s not just about the destinations—it’s about the raw, real experiences we go through in the skies. Whether it’s turbulence in the air or uncertainty on the ground, it’s all part of the story.
