From the Editorial Board: O’Hare’s new global terminal can’t come fast enough. But will American Airlines retain enough international service in Chicago to make it work?
United Airlines and American Airlines jets on Sept. 9, 2021, at O'Hare International Airport.
There’s no longer a flight between about 10:30 in the morning and 1:30 in the afternoon, and the last American jet for LaGuardia now typically leaves the gate at 7 p.m., which is bad news for travelers hoping to have dinner at home before leaving for a meeting.
For years, Chicago travelers have enjoyed the unique pleasure of being a hub city — at O’Hare and Midway airports — for three of the country’s four largest airlines: United, Southwest and American. That has not always brought travelers reduced fares, since airline ticket pricing is a complex business, but in general, more competition helps consumers.
