Ariel Rehr arrived at O’Hare International Airport about two hours early for a domestic flight — but still wound up stranded for over 15 hours.
Earlier warnings that lengthy airport security lines would prevent travelers from making their flights on time — despite arriving early — have become a reality for travelers in Chicago recently.
Rehr, a recent college graduate from New York City, is just one of hundreds who missed their flights out of the Windy City over the past few days. And this weekend’s horror stories may just be a prelude to the anxiety ahead as we approach Memorial Day.
She was on her way home from Chicago with three friends after attending BookCon, an annual fan convention. They arrived at the airport Sunday at 5:40 p.m. for a 7:50 p.m. flight. She thought 90 minutes in advance was the recommended time for a domestic flight but said the check-in email suggested two hours.
“We waited in line for security from 5:40 till 8:00. Just finding the end of the line was crazy, and there were no employees around who had any answers,” Rehr told Yahoo News. “People were cutting, probably because they couldn’t find the real end.”
She had missed her flight by the time she got through security, so she ran to a different gate for a later flight that was also heading to LaGuardia Airport in Queens, N.Y.
Rehr was added to a standby list for the next flight but was later removed because people who missed flights earlier than hers took priority.
“We ran from gate to gate trying to get on the next flights, but we kept getting moved down on standby,” she said. “There were dozens of us running and trying to get on the same flights.”
After Rehr failed to get on the final flight of the night, she called American Airlines (AA) to book another flight for 1 p.m. the next day. Around that time, workers at the airport set up cots and handed out blankets and small pillows, which were taken away at 4 a.m. Then they were left to wander the airport for hours, she said.
“And there was no one around to answer any questions or help or offer any assistance,” she said. “There were families with little kids who got woken up to hand back their beds. It was so sad.”
Finally, she said, around 8:30 a.m., she pleaded with helpful AA employees, who managed to get them on a 10 a.m. flight.
“It was my first trip to Chicago, and I had a great time, but that airport experience was the worst I’ve ever had. I don’t know if I’ll ever fly back there, at least not until major changes are made to the security process,” Rehr said.
从中国回来渥太华就太玄了,取行李过安检,走过停留时间只有1:30小时,非常非常赶。不过美国人太nice,跟机场工作人员说,他们会帮你不用排队。最讨厌就是渥太华机场海关的,看见多行李必查,连茶叶都认为是吃的不让带。
