My flight to Chicago left at 9:30am so I got to QCIA at 8:45am and checked in, and went up to the Observation Deck where I saw United Express, AA Connection, and Northwest Airlink, and AirTran jetConnect. I looked at the art gallery before clearing MLI security...for like the 15th time in 3 months (I fly a lot) and went to gate B8, the only gate that ATA Connection has. Airlines at MLI are:

Northwest Airlink has gates A2, A4, and A6
American Connection has gates A1 , B7, and B5 stairs.
Delta Connection has gate B9
United Express has B11, B15, and B17 Stairs
ATA Connection has Gate B8
AirTran (and jetConnect) has Gate B10.

I read a book, until boarding. The props roared to life and we took off. We landed in Midway about 50 minutes later and a bus took us to the terminal, the A councourse. I got my bag and my sister picked me up and we drove to her house in Oak Lawn. Three days later, when it was time to go home, my flight back to QCIA was cancelled due to snow- so we drove the 3.5 hour drive back to my house in Moline.

Comments are welcome.

:D Including the description of Moline terminal and the listing of pretty diverse airlines serving your city, it is an interesting report. Too bad you had to hit the harsh road to get home.
:nod: Btw, what was the type of aircraft ? Unless, ATA replaced the whole fleet, I understand you flew a Saab 340. Your confirmation is welcome.
