Two points: 1.) I flew B6 to JFK the other day and the load was very light. Well under half of the seats were filled. Granted, this was on a Saturday and I realize that one flight doesn't give the whole picture, but hopefully they are patient and can make MKE work. 2.) I was told that 19R/1L will be...
Jump to postLooks like a decent breakfast for sure - and something that is quite unique (serving smoked salmon) on domestic flights. You're right, I was expecting something completely unoriginal like an omelet so that was a nice surprise. Upon its restart the train initially had limited hours, but now it's run...
Jump to postI have fond memories of flying on AQ's 732s and HA's DC-95s back in the day. Its a shame the former isn't around anymore. I'm sort of surprised that HA has first class seating on their 717s, considering how short all those inter-island flights are.
Jump to postHow does this work with regards to economy lots G and H? The CDA website is unclear with regards to these lots. I assume the shuttles to lots G & H will continue to run even after the May 1 cutoff of shuttle service to the MMF noted in the CDA press release. Do the G & H shuttles take peopl...
Jump to postHaven't heard or seen anything about Midwest 2.0 in over a year. It sounds dead in the water, as expected. We can lump Contour Airlines' MKE experiment in with this. If you recall, they started flying from MKE to PIT and IND in October, but it looks like the flights were quietly dropped after only ...
Jump to postDoes anyone know the latest on Midwest Express 2.0 or the new international terminal that was supposed to replace E? Are these plans alive, on life support, dead? The last news article I can find about Midwest is from just over a year ago in which their spokesperson provided few details but said the...
Jump to postGreetings and welcome to another one of my trip reports! For those of you that haven't seen my previous posts, I'm currently halfway through medical school. The first two years are basically the same as undergrad. You spend most of your time in the classroom dealing with lectures and exams. Then the...
Jump to postDoes anyone know why this flight diverted to MKE? It was sort of foggy in Milwaukee tonight, so I don't know if that might've extended down to ORD. The times don't really make much sense though.

Per MKE's Facebook page, DL is adding JFK-MKE. It starts June 6 and will be flown with a CR7. This route has come and gone several times over the years.
Jump to postHas mask wearing been required at KOA even though the entire terminal is open-air?
Jump to postPeople were going nuts over a 5-1 win over Panama at home. Another thing that bothered me is that the players paraded around the field with a big "qualified" banner after that game, even though it wasn't a sure thing yet. So, who is the 'group of death' ? Maybe C (Argentina, Mexico, Polan...

Jump to postNice trip report and pictures. I wouldn't have had Washington at the top of my list of skiing destinations. Who knew?
Jump to postThe US is in a good position to qualify. Whenever they play down in Mexico its always hyped up as a tall order but I actually think they probably should've came away with a W. That's three straight qualifying cycles now that they've been able to secure a draw at Estadio Azteca. A win at home against...
Jump to postNice report and pictures. Sounds like you got your steps in running around the terminal at DTW.
Jump to postYeah, those decisions were clearly all about the football. :sarcastic: I was pretty clear that I didn't think it was ONLY about football. All I'm saying is that there was a clear opportunity to seize an advantage. As far as those three football teams are concerned, it worked out very conveniently f...
Jump to postPoland will not play their World Cup play-off match which is scheduled to be played in Moscow on 24th March. Not that I don't think they're sincere in their objections to Russia's actions in Ukraine, but I can't help but think that the declarations from Poland, Sweden, and the Czech Republic had at...
Jump to postNK is adding seasonal MKE-MYR for the upcoming summer. It will start out as 2x weekly in May and then it will gain another frequency in June. UA operated this route last year with a very similar schedule, albeit with CR2s. Of that trove of seasonal flights that UA added a year ago, it doesn't look l...
Jump to postIt seems like blue America is finally ready to move on from the pandemic phase. New York, Rhode Island, Illinois, California and other liberal states are rolling back mask and proof of vaccination rules. It was pretty obvious that the political pressure was building. We can only hope that another va...
Jump to postI'm surprised that Frontier is the one that's buying Spirit. I thought it would've been the other way around.
Jump to postWith the latest qualifying window now concluded Iran and South Korea have punched their tickets to the World Cup. The other noteworthy occurrence was the US beating Honduras 3-0 in a game where it was 5 degrees Fahrenheit at kickoff. It was the coldest game in USMNT history, and I'd be interested to...
Jump to postFlying out of Milwaukee, they might get a raised eyebrow or two! :spit: In one month since arriving in the midwest from KEF, OK-TVV's done 14 MKE-CUN turns + 5 to and from PUJ. Quite a departure from its earlier life flying CDG TLV FUE KTT FNC and the like. It's always some random carrier who opera...

It's official.... Tom Brady stood up! Interestingly, he thanks a lot of people in his Instagram post but there's no mention of Bill Belichick or the Patriots. In light of this move I think Rodgers would be crazy to leave Green Bay. I know the Packers have flopped in the playoffs recently but with B...
Jump to postNiners D delivered again. Sorry Rodgers, still can't beat 'em. Nope he sure can't. Wonder what the future holds for him. What a brutal loss. Three straight 13-win seasons and zero trips to the Super Bowl. The offense obviously didn't play good enough and Rodgers gets some of the blame for that, but...
Jump to postI'll be in attendance at Lambeau Field on Saturday. Currently they're forecasting a high of 20 degrees F and it's supposed to approach 0 overnight. I was also there in 2014 for the playoff game against San Francisco and that day it was around 5 degrees at kickoff. The 49ers won that game, but the Pa...
Jump to postI'm currently watching my Arizona Wildcats take on Stanford in Palo Alto. Inconceivably, we're back to having no fans in the arena. Despite the availability of masks, testing, and vaccines, I just can't believe that we're back to the point where we can't have people attend a basketball game. It's ex...
Jump to postInteresting trip report and pictures. I didn't know much about Bellingham but there airport there sort of reminds of the one in Tijuana in that they both attract passengers from both sides of the border.
Jump to postI am curious to find out why you had to be towed out to the runway as a matter of airport policy. If you have B727s at the airport I’m guessing it’s not due to noise sensitivity! So I got in contact with a local spotter down there and I was told this procedure was implemented because a piece of pav...
Jump to postTo me the NFC side of the bracket is way more unpredictable. I could realistically see all of the home teams getting upset. Yes, even the Buccaneers, who are missing some key players and probably should've lost to the Jets last weekend. The Packers are getting some big names back (Za’Darius Smith, D...
Jump to postThey're now calling for new lockdowns in Canada. Why are so many double and triple vaxxed people willing to go along with this? It doesn't make much sense to lock down after initially telling people to get vaccinated to avoid a lockdown. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/manitoba-doctors-react...
Jump to postI just watched FOX's documentary about him the other day so when I saw this news today I immediately thought that the timing wasn't a coincidence. Maybe they knew he was unwell and they wanted to interview him and put it together while he was still around. However, the article on ESPN says he died &...

Jump to postWow, what a story of your flight down. Sounds like a very stressful and tiring time at ORD. Glad you made it down and back okay, but hoping for easier travel days in the future! Wow, sounds like you had a really awful trip down to GND. Good you made it evenutally. Not a great time to be at uni, let...
Jump to postNice trip report. A lot of times when flights going to ORD divert to MKE they end up putting everyone on buses to get them down there. I'm sure you're grateful you didn't end up in that situation.
Jump to postWhy should they? First, if they were in AFC those small island teams might have to travel to Lebanon, which would be a huge issue. Second, chances that one of OFC members qualifies for WC are probably higher with half a place granted, instead of having to play all the way through AFC qualifiers. Fr...

Jump to postI am not sure you can class the USA as a big name in football. Since when is the USA considered a big name in International football? USA is NOT a big name in football. The point I was trying to make was that it was a shock that they weren't able to qualify. Back to that original point though, now ...
Jump to postIn 2018 there were several big names that missed out (Italy, Netherlands, USA) but for now it appears that all of the favorites are positioned to progress. Apparently I spoke too soon. Portugal lost at home to Serbia on a late goal and now they've been relegated to the playoff route. I also didn't ...

Jump to postThe DTW terminal is wonderful, but it is a bit oversized for DL’s current operations. I know it was built to be NW’s primary hub, but DL was only running around 450 flights pre-covid IIRC. It would be nice if they flowed more connections over DTW going forward. A few years ago I noticed that they h...
Jump to postI remember when I was a kid I wanted to get my dad to have us fly MKE-CWA for a ski trip to Granite Peak (Midwest Connect/Skyway Airlines used to fly that route). When you entered DTW-MSP on DL.com did that routing actually come up as an option? Or did you have to select "multi-city" to cr...
Jump to postAccording to ORD's Facebook page the train will only operate from 10:30 AM to 8:30 PM and then buses will continue to run 24/7. I don't understand that, unless they plan on eventually expanding the train hours within a short period of time. Didn't the old train run 24/7?
Jump to postA Republican hasn't won a state-wide contest in Virginia since 2009, so I still think it would be an upset if Youngkin wins.
