Since the mayor gouged up Meigs Field, is there a preferred GA reliever airport for folks flying into Chicago for meetings that occur in the loop area downtown?
Sort of RV-10 related, since I would take the -10 there if I can get over my resentment of what they did to Meigs...

Dan:
In exchange for a ride in your -10, fly into KDPA; I'll pick you up, and
drop you at the train station, then get you back to the airport. Give me a
call with your intinerary (at) 630-308-7476,

I'm personally relieved to find out I'm not the only one that needs to
get over some resentment..... oh, maybe I'll just hold the grudge a bit
longer. What a loss.

No real great close in options. MDW is OK, but very busy and probably expensive fuel and fees. You can catch the train at MDW. DPA is a very nice airport and the offer of a ride to the train makes it great. I am not sure, but PWK probably has train access within a reasonable distance, as well.

Please, feel free to take out your frustrations on my state's
wonderful gov't (Maine) and complain to them about their idiotic use
taxes on visiting aircraft...

It's going to be an interesting summer for fuel at these big
cities.....
MSP: $6.51/gal
ORD: $7.57/gal
MDW: $6.43/gal
DTW: $6.25/gal
DET: $7.50/gal
BWI: $7.61/gal
PWK: $6.64/gal
DPA: $5.20/gal
Yeah, prices still drop a lot as you go to the reliever
airports, but the national average for all regions is now
over $5.00 (see http://100LL.com)
Pretty soon it'll mean taking off from home, flying 25 miles,
landing at another small airport, and then taking a greyhound
400 miles to the destination.

Have all seen the Airboss card at airnav.com?
http://www.airnav.com/airboss/
I've thought about using this since it only costs $39 but wonder if there will really be a savings?

If their average discount holds, and you can find locations that use the program with already reasonable fuel prices, it will pay for itself in about 250 gallons.

Dan,
You may want to try Midway airport. I'm not sure about now-a-days but it use to have a lot of GA traffic in the early 80's, but the airport has grown since then. If they still allow GA it is very convenient where you could catch the "L" downtown or a cab. Second, choice might be Palwaukee (class D) airport ~ 7 miles north of O'Hare. You could call a cab to O'Hare and then catch the "L" to downtown. Also, you could call a cab to take you to either the Northbrook train station, then downtown or Wheeling or Prospect Heights station to downtown.
