Traveling Through Midway and O’Hare During the Holidays

Holiday Travelers Adapt to Pandemic

As the holiday season draws near, people are starting to assess whether they will be traveling as normally, or if they are skipping this year’s trip. Many are eager but cautious when considering air travel, and are looking to make the trip in the safest way possible. Whether you are departing or expecting guests from out of town, it’s important to plan ahead for safe & fully sanitized airport transportation options.

With the COVID-19 pandemic still affecting many aspects of our daily lives, how do you safely navigate airports and get around town?

Flights This Season Might Be Fuller Than You Expect

Major airlines across the country including those in Chicago have been reporting more holiday flights being booked despite the global health crisis. According to airport officials, people recognize that coronavirus numbers have been hitting records. But they’re booking more flights for the fall and winter holiday periods anyway, showing “a clear divergence in terms of their attitudes toward the pandemic and their intentions towards leisure air travel.” An influx of passengers would cause delays. Ensure that you book airport transportation ahead of time and get there at least two hours before your flight.

Chicago Airport Guidelines 

The Chicago Department of Aviation has been working with public health partners to implement federally mandated screening of travellers who may have been exposed to the virus. They have also taken several extra measures to keep travellers as well as airport employees safe. These include increased frequency of disinfecting of surfaces in high-traffic areas, installation of additional hand-sanitizing stations, and limiting passengers on airport shuttle buses. Some airport concessionaires have also closed or changed their open hours in O’Hare and Midway.

Getting to the Airport

For the many travelers looking to finally see their families and friends that they haven’t seen in quite a while due to the health crisis, there are a few aspects that you have to account for when considering traveling through Chicago’s busiest airports. While the airports’ are enough risk, it’s important to take caution when getting there or to your destinations.
