Flight late due to equipment delays. Thunderstorms in the east slowed down air traffic to most northeast airports. Made for an incredibly long day...

Congestion caused a lot of ear pain on approach, took a few days for my head to clear from that.

Very lucky in that the Red Carpet club was able to change seats in the middle way in the back for economy plus aisle seat. Plus, one of the few rows with no one in the middle seat - sweet! Was on the wait list for a 1st class upgrade, but didn't make it. Added some lottery type action to the boarding process.

Ohare has lots of places to eat, but few with a place to sit down. We were beat, but ended up sitting in the Red Carpet Club because there was no where else.
