Sometimes traveling isn’t as fun as we’d like it to be. It isn’t so much about going where we want to go as much as it is dealing with all the intricacies of actually getting there. If you’ve ever flown to or from Chicago, chances are you passed through Chicago’s largest airport, O’Hare International. As one of the second homes of “NUTS ON CLARK
where first-time visitors get the chance to try our famous Chicago gourmet popcorn. We’re happy to offer some great preparation tips to air-bound travelers to help make their travel that much less stressful. For more information, check out FlyChicago.com.
Be Patient
Traveling by plane requires a little more than just showing up at the airport, getting on to the plane, and then taking off. Don’t forget that you have to find parking and check-in your tickets and baggage, all the while accounting for crowds, unexpected situations and delays. The frustration of sometimes playing the waiting game at the airport is best combated by taking care of all the things that you can control and not sweating the rest.
Be Prompt
It is much easier to feel less rushed and subsequently less stressed when you have no tasks left to complete and all the remaining effort is left getting to the airport, leaving you to just sit back and relax. The best way to accomplish this is to arrive at least two hours early (most airports now require that you arrive at least 45 minutes before flight to check-in). Arriving this far ahead of time will allow you ample time to do all the before-mentioned tasks: find parking and check-in your tickets and baggage. Also, to avoid any problems with airport security (and the hassle of having to open your bags and possibly having to toss your belongings), make sure that if you plan on bringing any liquids, gels or aerosols with you, they’re packed in three-ounce or smaller containers. These containers should be in one-quart sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bags.
Be At Peace
A positive attitude will go a long way and with a good amount of restaurants, concessions and other shops, O’Hare gives you a sound opportunity to relax while you wait. Grab a cup of coffee from Starbucks, unwind with a back massage from Back Rub Hub or remind yourself what city you’re in with a mix of Gourmet Cheese Popcorn and Gourmet Caramel Popcorn from “NUTS ON CLARK.” Before you know it, you’ll be where it is you want to be!
The next time you fly into or out of O’Hare, try following these tips on travel preparation and see if it doesn’t make your time spent at Chicago’s largest airport that much better.
