[edit] Ord, Nebraska?

This:

Ord, Nebraska is the Valley County seat town in central Nebraska. It has a population of about 2,400. The economy is almost entirely agri-related. It is named for Civil War era General Ord, for whom Fort Ord in California is also named. General Ord was the commander at a fort in Central Nebraska about the time the town of Ord was being formed.

Defnitely shouldn't be at the top of this page. It only makes a vague sense if someone gets here by linking from ORD as a redirect; to the vast majority of people who get here from other links, it will make no sense at all. Perhaps an Ord (disambiguation) page is in order? --Jfruh 21:28, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] PIA

Why does PIA say Manchester here which Manchester is a stopover and in Houston they don't mention Manchester which is also a stopover.

[edit] Good airport

For a huge airport, it seems to be relatively painless to use, easy to get around, and plenty of space and facilities. I'm rather critical of most airports, as my local airport, Shannon Airport, is one of the most relaxed international airports I've encountered. Is O'Hare generally well regarded? I note the article includes its being voted top airport by Business Traveler Magazine readers, but what about in a broader context?

Oh - and the worst airport I have ever been at in terms of chaos, overcrowding and rubbish facilities is Dublin Airport with its measly single small terminal building. Heathrow under normal conditions didn't seem that bad, certainly by comparison.

[edit] Copy editing

Sections such as "However in 2005, Hartsfield overtook O'Hare as the world's busiest airport in terms of takeoffs and landings. This was mainly due to the federal government imposing flight caps at O'Hare to reduce flight delays at one of the world's most delayed airport[1], O'Hare was the busiest airport.[2] In terms of total passengers served, Hartsfield has held the title of world's busiest airport for 8 years now, but Chicago also has commercial air traffic to Midway Airport. If Midway did not exist, O'Hare would be the busier airport over Hartsfield." need to be rewritten to improve grammar and style. If I have more time, I'll come back to do it. If someone else can first, please do. --CPAScott 13:54, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
