Question: LAX-ORD

Hi Everybody!

Wow, it's been a loooong time since I've been in here. Lots of searching and
reading to do! Anyway, here's a question that is poking at me: I'll be
flying LAX-ORD in June. Never been to Chicago. What is the groups consensus
on which side of the aircraft (besides INside) is "preferred"... port or
starboard? I've never been east of DFW or DEN, so I was wondering if all
things equal if one or the other provides a noteworthy view along the way,
or maybe a view of the Chicago skyline or anything like that on approach.
What about the return from ORD-LAX?

Also, does ORD have the rental cars in the terminal or have they kicked them
all out to remote locations like other airports?

Thanks for your input... have a great day!

That would be POSH. Port out, starboard home.
Of course, if the flight is at night, it won't matter.

Thanks, John!

Actually will be staying in Bloomington. But I'll have an extra day and a
half there so I might put in some local area sightseeing and check out a
museum or something.

Thanks again!

Oh, Bloomingdale's..... Isn't that where Robin Williams defected in
"Moscow On The Hudson"?
