Emirates says Hello Chicago
Emirates will launch daily services to Chicago’s O'Hare International Airport, Terminal 5 from 5th August 2014. The service will be operated by a Boeing 777-200LR powered by GE90 engines.

As opposed to, say. a -200LR powered by the skippers flatulence?

[Logohu]

Well it is known as the windy city....

[BobDole]

Is that when ring sting kicks in?

Just swing by Ravi's before you leave for ORD and you'll have PLENTY o gas to make it

Chicago - yet another 24 hour ULR layover?

I wonder if the company will try to make this a 24-hour layover. The plane sits on the ground in ORD for 6 hours so they can use the excuse of it being a "30-hour" slip.

I'm concerned, since the company has a very short memory when it comes to past memo's. But recall when the IAH layover was increased from 24 to 48-hours it was because of "the increased flight time PLUS TIME ZONE CHANGE".

Now, ORD is in the SAME time zone as IAH, and the flight will be 2 hours longer than JFK and a bit longer than SEA as well. Let's see if they magically "forget" that they said about Houston and try to "sneak in" a 1 day layover on this pairing.

No good!

[GoreTex]

for sure they will try

Best start whining about it before you even know the facts.

30 hr layover I bid for , 54 I don't , there are some that would rather get the hours in , stay on dubai time and get back, some like down route time . In typical EK pprune pilot bitching you can't please everyone and those you don't please bitch the most.
