Only in Chicago: departing the world’s busiest airport

The second largest flight hub for American Airlines (200+ flights daily) and a central transport zone for United, Air Choice One, and Frontier Airlines, O’Hare International has always been a major point of interest. Much like its respective city, this airport seemingly never has downtime, especially now that it is ranked the busiest on the planet for take-offs and landings.

Hartsfield-Jackson out of Atlanta was the record-holder for almost a decade, but the introduction of new direct, international routes boosted O’Hare ahead. As of 2014, Chi-Town’s largest airport (Midway being the other) carried 52 million foreign and domestic passengers through its many terminals and gates. You can expect to find more than enough top-notch services, features, and amenities at O’Hare!
