Arrival at FLL was during a rain storm and little did I know upon arrival I'd have to change terminals for my flight up to Chicago. What an inconvenience to have to go through TSA again even though I was connecting Spirit to Spirit. The early morning (0530am) crowd was pretty impressive for a Saturday morning. I found the gate and waited patiently for boarding.

During pushback on the Spirit A320 I saw my first ever Delta A321. Didn't get very good photos of it due to the rainy conditions but I'm glad I got to see one finally.

I didn't realize how rainy this weekend was going to be: first FLL and now a rain-soaked ORD. In any case I wandered the concourses and settled on a vacant AA gate with nice windows to watch the planes through. I had all day to spend at ORD before my evening Frontier departure back to DEN and I saw a great variety of planes throughout the day, including Jordanian and Polish 787s. O'hare has always been a decent airport for international traffic and today was no exception.
