jetBlue A320 Night Landing at Ponce

Night approach and landing at Ponce's Mercedita airport (PSE) runway 30 onboard a loud jetBlue flight 739 from JFK. The landing wasn't bad, but they might want to give that area of the runway a little tuneup. =)

PSE is on the south side of the island, so we had to cross the island heading south, passing the airport a bit to its west, head back over water, then later making a series of left turns off the coast to head west-northwest lining up with runway 30. Video starts as we're over water, about to begin our series of left turns. Seat 18A.

I also included a clip of what happens once we get off the aircraft. PSE has no jet bridges connecting the plane to the terminal gate since it is a small airport. So we have to go down a flight of stairs and walk to the building. I included the moment I got off the plane all the way to the baggage claim.

man, I'm going to that airport in less than a month, and I didn't know how a 1 in the morning flight would look like. Now I know, even though I didn't need to know in the first place, Its just too damn dark to see anything

@Gyzmu Don't be too bummed about it. =) The camera doesn't exactly do an excellent job at capturing light due to the obvious limitations of its capabilities. You'll definitely see much more with your own eyes than what you see in the video. It won't be pitch black, but of course don't expect an impressive scene

I do walking at the early morning when still dark and love to see the plane coming to position of landing and when it take off.
