Yes, if you’re on the right radio frequency.

I meant as a passenger. I'm always aware of times when I fly, probably because I always seem to have to make a connecting flight. I'm also very aware of when we prep for descent, which should occur about 20 minutes out.

Since there was no descent prep at 20 minutes out, and they kept flying an additional 20 minutes beyond the destination, that is 40 minutes for someone to raise the question - certainly someone should have noticed.

I don’t disagree with that. It is rather strange that forty minutes could go by. I’m like you. I have my eye on the clock. I’m always thinking, we’re 17 minutes from the ground or some such. The Jet Blue screens give you air speed and location. On one of those flights you could have seen that you had passed your destination. I’d like to see a pilot try that one on for size. :-)
