Say buh-bye to boring layovers and drawn-out delays, both of Chicago’s major airports will now provide free Wi-Fi to the people.<\/p>\n

Thank God.<\/p>\n

\"\"To the unabashed joy of frequent fliers and vacationers across the city, the Chicago Department of Aviation<\/a> (CDA) announced this weekend that Chicago will finally join the ranks of major airports across the nation in offering completely free, unlimited Wi-Fi to passengers at both O’Hare<\/a> and Midway.<\/p>\n

The service, provided by the hotspot-hotshots at Boingo, will come as a massive relief to airport patrons, who prior to this announcement were only provided 30-minutes of secure network connection at either of Chicago’s commercial hubs. According to the CDA, while offered without a cap, Wi-Fi users can expect Boingo advertisements to come across their screens about every 45 minutes.<\/p>\n

As expected, there will also be a faster connection available to those wishing to upgrade, for a price, of course.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For more information on O’Hare and Midway (and their fancy new offerings) head to the CDA website, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, happy flying Chicago!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
