OT, but when did MAN renumber the runways from 6/24 to 5/23? It can't have been that long ago; I just checked Google Earth and it says 6/24 (which is what I thought) but other sources confirm 5/23.

For the sanity of dchristiva... if I'm sans shoes in the cabin, normally i have a fresh pair of socks on.... (but if I go to the little boy's room, then the shoes are back on in a flash!!!)

Great report. Don't be too hard on latecomers at security as I've had to pull that myself after UA landed us at 18.05 for an 18.25 BD departure. We did make it, but only just and had to turf an interloper out of my exit row seat after she claimed she thought the doors were shut.
ORD T5 is just awful with nothing to do. They're also a bit keen to board, its the only place I've ever had my name called out over the tannoy on a final call - it was 45 minutes before departure time!
Glad you took the trouble to write it all down.

Obviously
Erm ... a word to the wise: 'teabags' and 'how tea should be served' must never appear in the same sentence!

Polite people, I'll make the time for - impolite people.. there's a queue ... kindly join it
Thanks
And besides, the Customs and Border Patrol/Immigration might go spare at loose leaf tea - probably declare it a "drug for brits" or a "Weapon of Tea destruction" that could twist the youth of the USA to drink proper tea and not Liptons Iced tea, and thus force American corporations out of business...
