  • Is there Sprite?
    Apr 28, 2013

    I really like sprite? Is it available in the airport for my layover?

     

    Yeah, pretty sure they sell Sprite at concessions. But some only have regular, not diet. Which do you want? You could also ask at the info desk if then can draw you a map of which shops sell which sodas.

     

    There's more than sprite you know. I mean they sell all the usual stuff. Its a real airport; even with a starbuck and macdonald. Why do like Sprite so much?

     

    I'ma pilot with Delta AL. Don't really recommend Sprite or any soda. Try water or some other no calorie drink. In the long run you won't miss Sprite and you'll feel better.

     

    Hey guys, thanks for all the suggestions. I'm sticking with sprite if I can get it in the airport. But I think I have enough time between my flights that I can briefly leave the airport and get something. Might be a store nearby where I can get it. Pilotpete, do they offer Sprite on Delta? I was gonna fly Southwest airline, but I haven't bought my tix yet.

     

    Why are you guys all taking about Sprite like its some sort of magic potion? Dude, chill! Its just an airport; just have something else or nothing.

     

    I work in the airport. All vendors that sell beverages sell Sprite as well, either from the fountain or in bottles.

     

    @PilotPete To each his own; if he wants to drink Sprite that's his choice man. Its a free country!

     

    Check Manny's (not the express version) -- I know they have it there, because I just bought something there when I was at MDW the other day.

     

    I'll be on my way back on Tueday and I'll try Manny's. It will be nice to find it there. Looking forward; thanks for checking.

     

    Yes, but if you have trouble finding it, check with the information desk. They have maps of the terminals.

     

    @AportNan, yes, she's right. And you can even call in advance to get help. You might do that. Ask for nancy at the desk she's been there the longest and really knows her stuff. You can tell her big Jim sent you :-)

     

    So I came back through the airport this week and everything went very well. Thank you all for the suggestions. I had plenty of time to relax and I love having a nice cold Sprite to freshen up. So it worked out and I found Sprite in several places and stopped to relax 2 separate times. Thanks everyone!

     

    Wait, are you guys like having a discussion just about 1 kind of soda? That's whacked! Is this a joke or something. I think you missed April 1st.

     

    Howie, chill out. Nothing wrong with liking one soda over another. I bet you drink it yourself.

     

    This is so cool! I'm also a BIG sprite fan; so cool to find a group of like-minded people. Anyone interested in organizing a Google hangout? I would do that to hang with some Sprite fans! Thanks.Looking forward to it!

     

    Johnny, that's awesome! Welcome to the group. We should try to do a mtg and it doesn't have to be just Sprite people, I'm totally cool with people that drink other sodas. How can we organize?

     

    Hi Sprite, Just got the email, so yeah we should organize soemthing. My buddy says we could use google hang-out. But I don't know how, let me check it out unless you already know how.

    My daughter left her dearest stuffed animal at gate B23 and I am not certain how to try and get it back. I contacted the airline, but all they said to do was to fill out a report. Is there a lost and found at Midway?

  • pet relief area

    Im flying Southwest Airlines into Midway with my dog. I have an hour layover. Do I have time to go to the pet relief area outside?

     

    Your best bet is to visit Southwest Airline site to see what their policies are regarding pets. As to airport policies, only working dogs are permitted (on the leash of the owner)within the terminals (you would have to carry your dog in a kennel). An hour should suffice if you have your dog with you in the airplane - you would have to go through security check again on your way back). Southwest uses both Concourses A & B (gates A1-19 with separate gates A4A & A4B and B1-26. They are accessible from the upper level's food court.

     

  • Retrieving a lost item

    I left a medical alert necklace at the security checkpoint and called the listed number, where I was told it had been found and was given a reference number and told to call another phone number. I did and was referred back to the original phone number. I have made 4 calls but have been unable to learn if it is possible to have the necklace mailed to me. Is there a way to get that information?

    MDW's map does not show a Delta Skyclub.

    If my info is correct - a $10 charge for "public" access to the internet - a service we already pay for with unbelieveable taxes???
