More than the home of the Bulls, the Cubs and the deep-dish pizza, the Windy City has plenty of quirks – and delights – to uncover for first-timers, from the city’s pioneering design to its vibrant arts scene and so much more. In the heart of the Midwest and fabled prairie-land, Chicago is one of the flattest cities in America, making it a great city for cycling.

I’m a pizza snob. But I still loved this city’s notorious deep-dish pizza

Brought up on Pizza Hut’s thin n’ crispy ham and pineapples as a kid, it got no better as a teen in Adelaide, where Dino’s pan-style pizzas were delivered in sunshine-yellow hatchbacks with a giant novelty red phone handset on top. Yet, I am guilty of hating deep-dish pizza.

The basic pie comes with cheese and tomato filling, and the idea is to add your favourite toppings - anything from olives to pepperoni and chicken sausage. Three is considered overkill (and costly). These days you can order a crustless pizza (for low-carb diets) and gluten-free. You could even request low-fat cheese.

Faultless service and dining on Air New Zealand's unique US route

Dec 11, 2023 | smh.com.au | Kylie McLaughlin

My flight originates at Melbourne Airport, and Air New Zealand have a separate and speedy desk for passengers checking into the business and premium economy cabin. Bags go straight through to Chicago, but all passengers must pass through another security screening in Auckland. As I'm travelling in business class, I get to relax in Air New Zealand's busy but spacious lounge where I take advantage of the glorious and wait-free shower rooms before settling into the long flight.
