I think I can do that!! ;)

Let me know what you're thinking and I'm sure we can something nice sorted out!
All the best! Dave

Sounds good. If flight's on time I'd probably be outside United terminal by 11:35-11:40 & would need to be back around 2'ish to allow time for TSA.

We did a Thai buffet last time that was good (and also inexpensive). Have also done the Mexican place bseller likes.

Cheers.

Whatever boss Willie & Sharon ( Susan ? Now Simon too ? ! ) says I will accept....

Can't make this one, have coworkers in town all day for meetings.

I'm flying into ORD at 10:45 on Friday.

I'm in for lunch if I can a ride to/from the airport.

I'm guessing you'll be able to get a ride with me or whoever picks me up, which I think is HMPS. But depends on car size.

Cheers.

At Your Service Car Co.....

Size not a problem. Large SUV.

Need to have both of you co ordinate times and meeting points. your flight numbers ? Usually I pick up people right under the pedestrian bidge connecting to the parking....at upper level.

Can change to your convinnoence.

Sending you details via PM

All in teh same price !

a good guess as I'll be riding my bike to lunch

Well bring your mittens if the weather stays the same. After 2 weeks of 70+ & 3 days of 84 degrees in April, we've got gentle snow flurries coming down today. They're not sticking, but the poor tulips are shivering!

HMPS, we'll coordinate time/pick-up location. I'm arriving on United; not sure about WanderLuster.

Cheers.

....not sure about WanderLuster.check the Admiral's Club.................;):D

check the Admiral's Club.................;):D


I agree.
:D

Pish, who goes to the AC anymore? That scene is soooooooo last January. Besides, without free Sapporo and the company of fellow mileage runners, it hardly seems worth it.

I am coming in on American, but since I'm scheduled in first - I can head over towards the UA terminal.

Hi,

Just noticed this thread. I'll be in town and would love to join you if I can get a ride from/to the airport. Sharon, I'll send you PM.

It looks like this lunch will fit in with my Friday plans. I've got to be in Rosemont for work all day, and the dining offerings around there are limited.

I'm guessing HMPS has room in the SUV for one more to/from the restaurant from the airport: "The HMPS Express".

Is anyone joining us from downtown? If so, maybe you could give newbierunner a ride. If not, newbierunner, I think you could take the Blue Line or the Metra out to ORD from downtown & then join us for the ride to/from the restaurant.

Cheers.

Just got a PM that bseller can't make it, as he's doing a mileage run.

Cheers.

At the very last minute, I find myself passing through Chicago on the very day and time I'll be there.

Add me to the list! :-)

You, see, it was all worth it. Looks like I myself might be able to do this, will know more tomorrow, as I work in Elk Grove and will see if I can get out early.

I'm off to the op's favorite stomping grounds this p.m. Enjoy!

I called & made a reservation for 8 people for 11:45am under the name "Flyertalk".

Cheers.

newbierunner is going to meet me at T1 at 11:30am. Well she'll be there at 11:30. I might be a few minutes later, as UA shows my flight arriving at C3 which is a bit of a hike to curbside.

Cheers.

Am subside best door 1E. You?

See everyone soon!yay, my stomach is jonesen for lunch !! (oh, & it will be good to see everyone as well ;))

Great seeing everyone at lunch today; lot of fun!

UA Elite TSA line was so long that I actually thought I might not make the flight, so I walked to T2, zipped through that line (no nude-o-scopes!), and took the UA shuttle from Gate E2 over to the C concourse. I'm pretty sure I was at the gate before I would have even gotten up to the TSA checkpoint at T1. T2 might be my new way to go through security at ORD from now on!

Cheers.

It was great to see you all yesterday. I had roaming turned off on my cell phone and didn't see some of the messages but the FT tags on Sharon's bag did the trick.

funny the restaurant stuck us in the back this time:D

Good to see everyone & meet some new FT faces:-:
