Question: LAX-ORD
Hi Everybody!
Wow, it's been a loooong time since I've been in here. Lots of searching and reading to do! Anyway, here's a question that is poking at me: I'll be flying LAX-ORD in June. Never been to Chicago. What is the groups consensus on which side of the aircraft (besides INside) is "preferred"... port or starboard? I've never been east of DFW or DEN, so I was wondering if all things equal if one or the other provides a noteworthy view along the way, or maybe a view of the Chicago skyline or anything like that on approach. What about the return from ORD-LAX? Also, does ORD have the rental cars in the terminal or have they kicked them all out to remote locations like other airports? Thanks for your input... have a great day! |

on which side of the aircraft (besides INside) is "preferred"... Doesn't really matter, depends on the weather and the route the plane takes. If the weather is decent you should get nice views of the Rockies. Also, does ORD have the rental cars in the terminal or have they kicked them all out to remote locations like other airports? Counter in the terminal, bus to the pickup lot. If you're going into downtown Chicago, you don't want a car, you know. R's, John |

That would be POSH. Port out, starboard home. Of course, if the flight is at night, it won't matter. |

If you're going into downtown Chicago, you don't want a car, you know. Actually will be staying in Bloomington. But I'll have an extra day and a half there so I might put in some local area sightseeing and check out a museum or something. Thanks again! |
