I have a flight from ORD to Delhi with a 2hr layover in Paris. I'm going for my visa stamping (so I have the approval notice but not a valid visa stamp). Would I need a transit visa for 2hrs. The France visa website and the CDG website seem to give conflicting information and no one picks up the call at the embassy. Would love to have some insight if anyone has recently travelled through the same route. Appreciate the help.

I live in South Loop off Michigan and have a flight tomorrow morning. My flight is at 1pm from ORD. I set my car for 10:30am due to the Chicago Marathon. Do you all foresee any issues with this?

Recent success stories of booking round trip tickets to India with points? I have to fly at the end of the month and think I’ll be forced to use the AMEX portal for the tickets as opposed to an airline transfer.

Anyone else remember when Uber (or Lyft) were faster, cheaper, cleaner, and better vehicles than cabs?

Now, in the time it takes to walk from C gates to cab line the app still can't figure out I'm back at ORD, an UberX is over $70, or a black over $100.

It will take 15 min to get a car (8 min according to the app) and it will be a dirty Toyota Corolla

Meanwhile there is no one in the cab line and in a crossover with much more space for $50
