Flights
on January 10
We
have a tight connection in Chicago. In analyzing our flight (United 1656) from
Chicago to CancĂșn on FlightAware,
this route is flown daily. On every day except Saturday, United flies a smaller
plane, a 737-900 and the departure gates are scattered throughout Concourse B
and C at O’Hare. On Saturdays only, they fly a 777-200, which is the plane we
are flying on. Every Saturday for the last two months they have departed from
gate C16 at O’Hare, so I’m fairly sure that we will depart from Gate C16.
From
Knoxville, we are on United flight 4397. That flight usually arrives at a gate
in Concourse E in Chicago, but sometimes in Concourse F. Both concourses are in
Terminal 2, but we will depart Chicago at Terminal 2. So... we have to switch
terminals. O’Hare has this
page that explains connecting between terminals.
Here
is the bad news: the airport shuttle is shut down for renovation. That means to
avoid going back through security at Terminal 1, we have to walk (or probably run)
from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1. (The alternative is to leave the secured side
and take the shuttle bus over to Terminal 2, where we would have to go back
through security; thus, that really isn’t an option at all). Our scheduled
arrival time is 6:59 AM, with a departure time of 7:40 AM. The good news is,
analyzing these flights, the flight from Knoxville to Chicago is usually about
25 minutes early. Hopefully, that will be the case with us. Even at that, we
will have no time to waste in getting over there. Suni and I have hoofed it
over there before, and it’s kind of a trek. Here’s an airport map.
We should be fine; we will just have to hurry.

Airport
transfer
We
are booked
with Canada Transfers from Cancun International Airport to the Beloved Playa
Mujeres. This is a private transfer in a 9-passenger van. Cold Modelos will be
waiting in the van for the fellas, champagne for the ladies. The Beloved Playa
Mujeres is about a 35
minute drive from the Cancun Airport.
The Williams' have a later flight back and a separate voucher for the return trip to the airport on January 15.

The
Resort
The
Beloved fact
sheet explains what is included and what is not, and just gives general
information about the resort. The resort
map will probably be helpful. Food and beverage information is below.
Restaurants
& Bars
On
the Food & Beverage page, I have a description of all restaurants and bars
and have all the menus for breakfast lunch and dinner, along with a hotel map
and fact sheet.
