Any traveler who has landed at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport (ORD) recently is aware that the airport is a massive construction site.
Work is well underway on the airport's delayed $12.5 billion "ORDNext" redevelopment program that includes a new Global Terminal and concourse on the site of Terminal 2, as well as two new linear satellite concourses southwest of United Airlines' Terminal 1 and a new underground train and walkway to connect it all. When complete, it will expand ORD's terminal area to around 220 gates (from 185 gates in 2018).
ORD will be nearly unrecognizable.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
