Guess I picked the wrong day to travel. 7 hours from MKE to ORD. 2.5 on the plane 100 yards from the gate in MKE. De-iced twice. ORD ground stops prevented us leaving both times. Finally returned to the gate so that we were off in under 3 hours. 2 hours of people trying to rebook/waiting finally boarded De-iced a third time. Took off and flew circles over the Illinois border after another hold was placed after take off. Yes I missed my connections to ANC and OTZ. I wanted the segment. Try again tomorrow from ORD.
