RE: A Day Trip For No Reason ATL-ORD-MDW-ATL

Americans are so lucky to be able to travel so cheap on domestic flights. In Canada we get skinned. The taxes alone usually are double the price of the fare, which makes these types of day trips nothing but a pipe dream. What a great way to spend the day!!  <img src="http://cdn-www.airliners.ne...

Sorry to trouble you, but for those familiar, are there any places in the airport to buy good, classic pecans?

Thanks!
