My two-hour journey from Atlanta to Chicago on a Delta Air Lines 737-900ER in first class was a very calm flight with excellent service, which helped to offset an annoying air traffic control delay.
One detail I forgot when I wrote about my very tight connection in Atlanta was that my flight to Chicago was scheduled to depart at 5:25 pm but suddenly changed to depart five minutes early at 5:20 pm! What was that all about?!
In any case, I made it to my gate huffing and puffing, settled in, only to find out that we would sit on the ground for 90 minutes to wait out a ground delay due to congestion in the airspace around ORD.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
