I have to fly through Chicago with a one-hour changeover tomorrow. There's a direct flight which skips weather, that they won't let me change to without paying $900.

Make friends with some chilxors asap is my advice.
― Horreur! What are this disassociated lumps of (in orbit), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 04:45 (ten years ago) link
the problem is that both airports are way too far from most chilxors to make a one-hour changeover worth it.

airports are extremely relaxing environments, mostly cuz there's computerized voices often. they are my favorite environments, besides train terminals (and trains)

Now crashing in Long Island City with friend of friend I fancied 18 years ago (alas, not any more). Contact has been made off-board with in orbit and plans to crash at hers if/when my flight tomorrow is cancelled as well... (in orbit: no big case; I packed hand luggage for this contingency. JFK can look after the case till they can get me on a flight).

no, the actual problem would be ice potentially grounding my connecting flight, and me not getting to London in time to meet my RTW ticket again, two days later
but things may be working out better
