Re: Delta Fleet Thread - 2022

Hi Delta fans, I flew DL for the 1st time in a while, ORD-ATL-SXM, nice experience. But I missed the ship# for the 1st leg. Can anyone tell me what the ship number was for the following:

4/14/2022 (Thursday)
DL 2825
ORD-ATL
A321

Thank you in advance.

Re: Chicago Aviation Thread - 2022

It will be in the original T5 area. Granted for DL it will be easier for their passengers picking up at the domestic claims once they start operating at T5. For anyone else it's going upstream through the center of the food court and out the front via the departures level after July 20th, this is w...

Re: Chicago Aviation Thread - 2022

Wow, looks like a completely different terminal. Don't know if it was previously reported here but Google Maps has updated its satellite view of ORD (which makes it easier to visualise the M10/11 hold room from the top down). https://www.google.ie/maps/@41.9747531,-87.8910704,261m/data=!3m1!1e3 Als...

Re: Chicago Aviation Thread - 2022

That's going to be quite interesting when completed - just from eye-balling, that's going to be quite a decline from the 294 ramp in Franklin Park down to airfield-level. I almost can't imagine it today. Interesting is an understatement! You got me looking at this in more detail now. Starting from ...

I'm still getting caught up on the latest about Western Access (EOWA), and kinda confused what that the north/southbound portion along York Rd is going to look like.

I recall seeing this map a few years ago - it outlines what partners will use the Global Terminal.

Re: NYC (JFK/EWR/LGA/SWF/HPN/ISP) Aviation Thread - 2022

I know it opened during the pandemic but if you haven’t gotten a chance to see the new LaGuardia terminal… It’s something not out of this country. Reminds me of airport to see in Asia. Absolutely spectacular on every level. Nothing even close to it in the New York area I had a chance to see LGA in ...

Re: Chicago Aviation Thread - 2022

It's been so long since I've looked at the plan. Aren't the proposed new Satellite terminals FIS capable or is that just OGT? I believe the eastern satellite (the one that connects to T1C) will have FIS capabilities. If you look at the rendering in the link below, it appears as though it has a 3rd ...

Re: Chicago Aviation Thread - 2022

I don't think it has ever been announced which SA/OW carriers will be using the OGT(T2). I am guessing the UA/AA don't even know yet, especially with the pandemic throwing a wrench in everything. UA/AA's gate needs at the time of completion will determine how many other carriers will be able to use ...

Sure taxi times are terrible from some runways but would you rather have a 17-25 minute taxi time or a 40+ minute daily ground stop? The airport has improved greatly and is really only affected by snow and heavy crosswinds these days. If taxi times are your primary complaint, then I’d say the OMP w...
