Arrived in Chicago by 8 est. American does first class nicely. Warmed assorted nuts to start, nice chicken dish for dinner with yummy rolls and warmed chocolate chip cookies for dessert. It has been 29 years since we have flown into O'Hare airport. On that one occasion the weather grounded the entire Midwest. It was a mess at the airport everyone trying to get new flights. I stood in line while Barry headed to a phone booth to call the airline. Remember this was 1986. Cell phones weren't even on the radar. He was successful and we ran jumping over bags and people from American to United and got the last flight out that day to our destination. Luggage? It showed up at midnight. After that event we swore off ever going through O'Hare again. Barring weather we are due to fly out at midnight. While we are waiting we are hanging out in the British Airways club.
Here is a bit of information to tuck away - distance from Chicago to Hong Kong is 7789 mi. Flying time is 15hrs and 35 min
Sleeping on the plane in our pods makes me think of the movie cocoon Here we are at midnight getting ready to take off.
