ORD

My airport tales of delay and misrouting all involve O'Hare in some way. Lost luggage either didn't follow me here, or went through here when it shouldn't have. Late flights are all to or from.

It's not such a bad airport. Not as ill-designed as Dulles, or as ill-executed as LAX. Just. . . long.

Which is a roundabout way of saying that after arriving early, and even being rerouted to the same terminal as my connecting flight, I'm now stuck waiting for a plane that's half an hour late and counting.

Maybe O'Purgatory would be a better name.

I dunno, I'd rather be stuck in an airport than stuck in an airplane anyday. Crossing the Pacific was bad, but the really bad time was getting stuck on the tarmac in a turboprop for over 3 hours after landing at PHL on a business trip... I've never gone in or out of PHL without a delay, and it's always IN the plane.

. . . okay, granted. I've been lucky enough to never be stuck on a plane. I've also never actually missed a connection, and the one time I got bumped from a flight they put me on one that got me home earlier.

Note to self: do not fly through Philly.
