Madison, WI, via O'Hare

I've been going to MSN for years.  In fact I was just there about a month ago.  In the beginning, I flew DL into MSN via various 3rd parties, mostly Comair.

It was always stressful.

A couple of years ago I just started doing ORD and then driving up there.  Not fun, but probably the safer thing to do.

Which is what I did this trip.

MSN is a great town, but I'll take my beach in St. Pete over it, particularly in the winter.

 Both trips on DL ontine.  They are very much ontime now.  I will give them credit.  They seem to hustle much more and make things happen.

I'm flirting a lot with AA lately, but it's just to get some change of pace.  In the previous post I offered my opinion that elite status really means nothing, at least on DL anymore.  I'm learning that I don't care as much about status, I sure don't care about free tickets, and if you want to fly in first, you  simply buy it.  That takes a lot of stress off.
