Interesting that they used the city codes for both London and Chicago and not the airport codes (probably LHR and ORD). -- "Tell me what I should do, Annie." "Stay. Here.

Mike, Thanks for the extremely quick response! 'Connection' makes sense, although the way I booked it was was LON-SFO and SFO-LAS, as two separate direct flights on different days. I didn't book LON-LAS, connecting in SFO so not sure why it's showing that way, but hopefully shouldn't make any real difference. On the return leg the connecting flights at ORD are 85 mins apart - is that likely to be enough time? Thanks again, Jim >> Stay informed about: Ticket Code

Yes, if flights are on time. However, flights into ORD are frequently delayed due to "flow control" (weather limits on the number of incoming flights), so you may miss your connection because they held your first flight at your origin for two hours or so. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timothy J.

The fare calculation is most time based on city codes. For most fares it would make no difference to fly to La Guardia or JFK (at least for cosnolidator fares from Europe to the US) M. >> Stay informed about: Ticket Code
