Stuck at O'Hare for 24 Hours? 5 Things to Do to Beat Travel Blues

Got the sinking feeling only a delayed flight can bring at O’Hare heading home for the holidays or heading back? No worries, our friends at Chicago Magazine have 5 clever ways to keep you entertained for at least 24 hours.

1. Go to Mass. Stop at the interfaith chapel on Terminal 2’s mezzanine level. Be warned it’s right next to Garrett Popcorn and you may be tempted.
2. Play the Piano. Bubbles wine bar is armed with piano and prosecco and the piano is fair game for anyone willing to play. Though, you might need a bit of bubbly first.
3. Go Shopping. The corridor between Gates H6 and K6 in Terminal is armed with upscale shop. Whether you’re in the mood for new Brooks Brothers khai’s or picking up something for a friend there’s no shortage of your favorites.
4. Do Yoga. Visit the peaceful yoga studio on the mezzanine level of Terminal 3 and relax.
5. Visit the Garden Towers. Once you’re done with yoga take a look at the garden towers outside the yoga room. Packed with Swiss chard, Genovese basil and Asian red lead lettuce, this room is one time you won’t need more greens.
