I've had flights delayed by more than a few minutes exactly twice in my life, and both times involved Chicago connections.
Lesson learned: Don't connect in Chicago.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
God, the communter section of the--what do they call it--Cincinnati/Northern KY Airport? My hometown airport is a dinky little thing (2 gates, I think. Maybe 4.), so flying into EVV I'm always on a puddle-jumper (aka-I'd use my headphones for the half-hour I can, but I can't hear them over the engine), usually out of CVG(?).
Is Chicago the one with the pretty light-show tunnel, or is that Detroit? I get so confused. I've been through all these airports, but almost always as connections (well, once with Detroit as a destination. That sucked a lot. Took forever to get luggage), so I forget which is which pretty fast.

Well, I know that Terminal One at O'Hare has a lightshow. This doesn't mean that Detroit doesn't.

I've had the swab thing done at O'Hare, though not every time I've been there. They also got a positive explosive reading on a sealed 4-pack of 35mm film from Wal Mart and made me stand without my shoes for 10 minutes while testing and re-testing it. Because if the film turned out to be explosives, I guess the remote control had to be in my laces.
I've had delays at Logan airport as well, but it was during a snowstorm and since it was a direct flight I was only delayed by a couple of hours.

I have only changed planes in LAX once. I've changed planes a number of times in Dallas, and it's a bad airport in which to make a close connection. I have a violent dislike of the St. Louis airport, which contains absolutely no signs. You have to find things by telepathy. I like Atlanta, but it's my home airport and I know all the tricks.

I made the reservation for 6, so yes, there's room for you. Any one else?

Oh, and the dress for the evening is "upscale". They no longer REQUIRE a jacket and tie, but they will look down on any male not wearing one :)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Put me on the list too. I think. (I haven't totally figured out my schedule yet, but I'm pretty sure I'll be there on Friday.)
