The gates of Hell

Not really, it's only Gate B-12 at O'Hare, where I am living a traveler's nightmare. At least it's only severe ticketing woes and not a matter of security! But I sure hope ATA will refund (impossible dream) the 400 dollars I had to pay for a last-minute ticket to make up for their error!
There's no way they can make up for my having to get up at 4:00 a.m. to catch the flight I could not get on with my invalid code number...
