This time, I didn’t even have to get to Chicago before I was delayed! This time for four hours! At least! Go me!
At least I was first in line for rebooking.
How are you?

Glad you were first in line. I’m ok, but very bored of housework. Even the iPod can only do so much to relieve the tedium.
Delayed? Why? The weather here in Chicago is as close to perfect as it gets in March.
Mechanical problems with the plane.
Look on the bright side, at least you’re not going anywhere near Heathrow T5…

Doesn’t get you there faster (unless it’s a short run), but its a lot more comfy.
Drive. Anything less than 6 hours, get in the car. Increase the time by every delay.
Yes, but Japanese tourists sang to you! (per Twitter). That should count for something!
You’d think they’d give out free cake if there was a delay.
Free cake? They’re an airline, not Church of England!

Next time you’re flying via O’Hare, you can have a signing for your Chicago fans to kill the time. If any of us could make it past security there in a reasonable amount of time.
When I have to fly, I usually fly from Midway, but you can only go to like 4 places from there.
