Where is everyone traveling to this Labor Day? Orbitz.com has compiled a list of the 10 busiest Labor Day destinations based on booking trends. Here’s what they found:
- Busiest U.S. airport: Chicago O’Hare (Last year: No. 3)
- Busiest International Airport: London Heathrow (Last year: No. 2)
- Busiest U.S. City: New York, NY (No. 2: Chicago)
- Busiest International City: London (No. 2: San Juan, Puerto Rico)
If you plan on traveling through O’Hare this weekend, give yourself plenty of time before your flight to battle the crowds. It may not be too bad, however, because for the third year in a row, O’Hare was ranked by Global Traveler as the best airport [PDF] in North America. I was there briefly this year and was really impressed at the speed in which I made it through security. Plus it’s so damned big, I can’t imagine it ever filling up beyond capacity!
Safe traveling this weekend!
