Weather Delays in Chicago and

Yesterday, Officials at Chicagoland airports told travellers to expect some cancellations and delays on travel because of bad weather.

Meanwhile Waashington DC also had many problems as bad weather raged along the east coast of the USA, causing travel problems at several airports.

Winter travel tip: Prepare for delays at the airport by bringing reading or computer work, using your phone to catch up with personal or business calls, and other distractions. Wear comfortable clothing in case your trip lasts much longer than planned, and try to maintain good eating and drinking habits as much as possible to avoid indigestion from the inevitable travel stress.

Most of all: Don't PANIC!

Labor Day Airport Traffic Predictions

This article from Associated Content is talking about expected traffic at Airports this labor day. Chicago is expected to be the busiest Airport (as United's hub it gets huge traffic), and the USA's second most popular destination city.

It's a mistake to use Orbitz data to generalize about city popularity since the analysis is complicated by issues regarding Airport hubs, final destinations that are often different from Airport destinations, etc, but it's an interesting view into American Travel patterns.
