Chicago POE without speaking English

[Hollyday 122]

In that case the POE is not Chicago but JFK. There are innumerable ways to connect from Chicago (or anywhere there is a commercial airport) to Moscow 'via' another hub. Of course it is then no longer a direct flight and the probability of other Russian speaking passengers deplaning simultaneously at the Chicago POE (which was the point here) goes way, way down. But maybe you have another point to make, that it might have been advantageous to choose JFK as the POE to afford him the advantage of that direct connection from Moscow and the fellow travelers (!) able to speak Russian and translate for him.

I suppose this advantage would always be there with a direct Russia-US flight.

Maybe it's something new over the Polar Ice Cap ?

That is a second reason I would like to see a direct Chicago or Minneapolis to Moscow flight. I once got to fly over northern Iceland and Greenland right at sunset coming back from Russia but it was on a Munich to Chicago flight. The scenery was spectacular and we actually watched the sun rise ahead of us in the west as we flew crossing time zones faster than the sun at that far northern latitude.
