Check the baggage fees. The cheapest flight I see charges:
$50 -- carry-on bag
$45 -- 1st checked bag

Just throwing a question out there: If I were to fly to Chicago is there anyone who would be willing to drive me around and give me a corner to sleep in? At the present time I'm not sure I could swing a hotel and car. Just wonderin'.

Is that the day of Midnight's outdoor concert? What time would things likely get started? Folks could save some money by arriving on Saturday instead of Friday, but they need to get the timing right.

The main event would be early Saturday evening 8/31. Southwest only flies into Midway Airport. That's over an hour to Wheeling. Flights into Ohare are only 20 minutes away and I'm sure we could shuttle you from Ohare to a Wheeling area motel and a couple of those are around $60/nite or less, especially with a group rate. For out-of-towners with an airfare of less than $400 and some ridesharing to other events, I doubt if the weekend would cost more than $600 plus food and it could be an opportunity of a Halien lifetime.

Oooook well it all rests on the sale of the house. If it sells in time, Count me in.One in a million chance of a life time. BTY to those who gave all for our freedom, I salute you, on this weekend.

I looked at Thurs to Tues, flight costs $300 which is doable, so I can save my free flight voucher for a more expensive trip (To see Haley at a future Tour stop
). Any recommendations for a hotel nearby in Wheeling?I almost think I should do what I did last year for Lolla, stay in Chicago, and drive to Wheeling. Would that be closer to the activities you mention? Then drive for the Wheeling activities?
I might try to catch a game at Wrigley, they say, for a baseball fan that's a must see stop ballpark (and Fenway). Not sure about ticket availability...
Thnx for heading this up and the info
