Off to L.A.

[dagibbs]

Well, the hotel is in Irvine, and the customer is in Tustin -- but that's all L.A. area.

And, once again I'm posting from YOW. Sadly, this flight didn't book very well -- I have to spend 4 hours waiting in O'Hare. Joy. Looks like the flights should, hopefully, go ok, though. At least so far. :) All the Newark and Philadelphia flights out of here are (not surprisingly) cancelled -- but mine still shows on time. And the next leg is central to west, and should be fine.

But, 4 hours in Chicago O'Hare. Ick. And, it means I get in for 8pm, rather than 5:30 or so. Ah well. Such is my life.

But, I've got climbing plans for the next couple weekends -- and that is good. :)

4 hours in Chicago O'Hare. That's time for 4, maybe 5 gate changes if you're (un)lucky.

My last trip through there, I swore I'd never connect via Chicago again. It will be Detroit whenever possible, partly because I always look forward to spending some time in Logan's Run Land.(Of course, not needing to travel for work, I can be picky.)

ETA: Safe travels to you! I need more coffee to banish the negativity that's hanging over me this morning. Cranky because dog decided we needed to get out of bed at 7 am. Grrr.

I generally don't mind changing at O'Hare as long as it isn't a super short change. And, yeah, they could do a lot of gate changes in that time, couldn't they?

The problem with changing in Detroit, is that generally means flying Delta (it was a Northwest hub, and Delta bought Northwest a couple years back). But, most of the connections out of Ottawa are either Air Canada or United -- so I would be accumulating air miles on two different airline families. I end up doing better if I stay with Star alliance, which means connecting through O'Hare (United hub) a lot.
