This probably has nothing do to with it:dweebe wrote: ↑Nov 06, 2025The most telling was the recent closure of the big Under Armor store at Michigan and Illinois.
https://money.usnews.com/investing/news ... -estimates(Reuters) -Under Armour forecast annual revenue and profit below Wall Street estimates on Thursday as the sportswear maker faces a decline in demand and rising tariff costs.
Its shares, which have fallen about 44% so far this year, were down about 2% in premarket trading.
Supposedly current construction is causing extremely long taxi patterns to get to the gates after landing. People are joking they spend more time taxiing than in the air.Over the last year, O’Hare International Airport unexpectedly came to dominate U.S. passenger growth as United Airlines and American Airlines shifted more flights to the Midwestern hub.
That apparent good news for O’Hare has unexpectedly thrown a wrench in the city’s plan to build new terminals over the next several years.
With O’Hare terminal capacity at the brink, the city says it cannot afford to close Terminal 2 to build a massive Global Terminal by 2033. Now city planners want to scrap the current construction schedule for terminal expansion set to cost most than $8 billion.
Truth. O'Hare is a mess.dweebe wrote: ↑Dec 04, 2025I know it's not Lambert: but interesting to see.

The lightning thing is much more common at DFW.dredger wrote: ↑Dec 04, 2025^^ My son's girlfriend got to experience the Ohara mess this week on her way back to school and end up sharing a ride to her school with other students that got to experience the same.. My son had the opposite with a pleasant uneventful experience out of DFW to BOS.
The only issue with DFW for me has been summer ground stops for the tarmac/gate crews because of lightning. Not sure if that is something common with STL?. Of course, wx is local and variable with each airport but it does seem like DFW had plenty of ground stops. Safety practice that also seems more often then in the past.
Not a joke. Average taxi after landing my last 5 trips is 45 minutes. Waited 1.5 hours parked far from the terminal last week. We’re a United household but depending on the availability, will fly Southwest out of Midway. Traffic from City to Airport is also very bad. 1 hour drive from the airport to my home near Lakeview.dweebe wrote: Supposedly current construction is causing extremely long taxi patterns to get to the gates after landing.

Imagine if it took 2 hours to do it. That thing would be packed.Ebsy wrote: ↑Dec 05, 2025We are extremely fortunate that there is an affordable and convenient way to get to Chicago that doesn't require flying at all!
