Dan, as the title of my post states, I was able to find a direct flight for 30 bucks more than it would have cost me to fly through O'Hare. While I'm cheap...I'm not that cheap, and thus I will be flying American Airlines Flight 1574 From STL to Logan. I leave at 6:50 and am supposed to arrive at 10:40. We'll see.
On the way back, It's AA 1809 leaving at 6:20 PM. I figure (and Robin tells me) that I can just take the T from the airport into the city. So I'll probably do that. but if you want to try and get there around the same time, I can always grab a GQ and a cup of coffee and wait for an hour so we can head in together.
Let me know.
