Chicago OHare International Airport - ORD

O'Hare Airport Address

Website

Chicago's O'Hare International Airport (ORD) has been nip and tuck for several years now with Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport for the title of world's busiest airport.

O'Hare is a major hub for Chicago-based United Airlines and for Dallas-based American Airlines. In addition to these two giants, over 40 other carriers fly out of O'Hare. Looking out of any terminal window towards the runways, one may see aircraft bearing the markings of not only the major U.S.-based carriers like Delta, Continental, and US Air, but many international carriers-Aer Lingus, KLM Royal Dutch, British Air, Lufthansa, Swiss Air, JAL (Japan Airlines,) Pakistan International, Royal Jordanian, and many more-as they transport passengers to more than 60 destinations around the world.

O'Hare is known for schedule-busting weather-related delays and flight cancellations, but even so it was named "Best Airport in America" by the U.S. Edition of Business Traveler Magazine. There is a project underway to expand the terminal capacities and improve the runway configuration in a way that will help relieve congestion.

O'Hare is a non-smoking airport, except in designated areas.

WiFi Internet service is available, with numerous hot spots located in each of the four terminals.
