I never quite understood why they went into ORD in the first place. Anywhere they flew was going to be head to head against both/either AA and/or UA except for DAL/HOU instead of DFW/IAH.

Any recent stays here? I have a three nighter in a couple of weeks, for traveling alone it seemed like a good value compromise given the easy transit access to both Schipol and the city center.
