Has anyone flown to Canada lately?

I have 45 minutes to run thru O'Hare to make my connection. I've run thru O'Hare before (technically I ran *under* O'Hare) and made it to my gate with no problem. This time though, I'm leaving my country for another so I'm hoping that doesn't mean a second trip thru security. I almost missed my flight once from Heathrow to L.A. because I had to stand in terribly long security lines. Ugh. I'm hoping and praying that this time will be much easier. The good news is that my bridesmaid dress and sparkly shoes will be on the plane with me so if my luggage gets lost I won't be too affected.

The irony is that I have a 4 hour layover at Dulles (Ash, wanna have lunch? I'm dying to see that belly!) on my way back. It's feast or famine with me, baby. I either have too much time or not enough. But it usually works out ok. On Sunday I'm probably getting a ride with someone who has a very early flight. So here's hoping I can talk my way onto an earlier flight than my 4pm. Standby has always been kind to me so we'll see.

Anywho since I won't be posting for a while, here's something to think about...

Wow, I can't believe they scheduled your flights so close together. I thought they weren't booking connecting flights that were any less than an hour apart anymore.

Well apparently the airplane gods have it in for me. I checked online and not only do I have to switch terminals but my gates are at the end of each. That faraway gate thing is a standard for me though.

It's funny but I never think of Canada as being a real other country, so here's hoping they let it slide and you don't have to go through any more security. I hope you get to see Ashley on your way back!

No offense Ash, but I'm really hoping to not have the 4 hour layover in Dulles. If I don't make it onto a standby flight, then I'll be there from 5:30-9:30pm on Sunday. I'll try and call you on Sunday to let you know what's up.

Well I'm screwed. I just looked closely at a map of O'hare online and I do have to go through security before I can get to the other terminal. So I think I'm going to call United right now.

So I called United and the girl assured me that I don't have to go through security. Mind you there are security checkpoints on the map but I'll trust her.

Maybe United has super secret underground tunnels to get you to your Canadian aircraft...

Either that or a team of large geese that will fly me from one terminal to the other. Gotta love those Canadians.

Good luck on your trip! I found this website by someone who loves Trader Joe's even more than you!

Yeah, I've been on that site a number of times. It's just depressing now.
