I was allocated an Economy Plus seat, promising extra legroom and more Onboard tv channels.
I was astounded at what I found. A good selection of favourite shows; Frasier, Everybody loves Raymond and diners, drive-ins and dives as well as many new release and classic movies. With the great entertainment and frequent refreshment and food offerings (included), the 7 hours on board quite literally flew by.
Despite hearing nightmare stories of long queues at immigration in newark, our flight struck lucky and arrived to an empty waiting area.
Within 30mins of disembarking, I'd been through immigration, collected my bag and was making my way to the United Club lounge to wait for my transfer to Chicago
This was a seriously impressive lounge. Great views of the airport, plenty of seating, and more importantly, power outlets to recharge my batteries (and those of the camera & ipad!)
On arrival in Chicago, the baggage was off-loaded quickly and the signage to the CTA blue line Tain was easy to follow. The $5 trip took me through the suburbs and to within a block of my hotel in the Loop area.
