Travel Secret: Where to Find Outlets in the Airport

 

 

 

We have all been there; those moments at the airport when your phone or computer battery dies and you still have a 3 hour wait just to board your flight. Even worse, outlets have become one of the most difficult things to find in an airport! Follow these easy travel tips to locate some secret outlets that are hidden in the void that is the busy Chicago Midway International Airport:

·         Surprise! Sometimes power outlets are hidden under a group of pay phones! Since almost everyone has a cell phone these days, hit up these hidden gems and charge your technology in peace.

·         Watch out for the maintenance workers. Their vacuums/carpet cleaners etc. have to be plugged in somewhere! Follow the power cord to find out!

·         Find an airport bar. Yes, the kind with liquor since the “work stations” will most likely be overrun with other travelers. Ask the bartender if there is an outlet you can use. He/she will usually oblige.

·         If you need to get a quick charge on your phone but do not have a lot of time, restrooms, especially women’s, usually have outlets near the counter. This short charging time will at least give you a boost until you can find a more convenient place.

·         Finally, if all else fails, try and remember to pack a small power strip in your personal item carry on. If there are only a few outlets you can plug in the power strip and people will be able to share.

Shuttle Service Does Not Have To Be Stressful

 

 

You just landed at Chicago Midway Airport after a long, turbulent flight and can't wait to get to your car to finally get home. Oftentimes, waiting for a parking shuttle to come and then squeezing all of your belongings inside can be one of the most frustrating aspects of your airport parking experience. Here are a few ways that Midway EZ Park strives to make your shuttle experience as stress-free as possible:

 

·          Shuttle buses are on call. Unlike other parking facilities in the area where you must wait for a shuttle to come every 15 min, EZ Park shuttles are on call to pick you up the second your ready to leave Chicago Midway International Airport and help your load your luggage onto the bus and into your car.

 

·          Shorter distance to the airport. A shorter distance, means a shorter ride, which means you will be in and out of the shuttle in a breeze.

 

·         No hidden Fuel Surcharge Fees. You're already paying to park, why on earth should you pay for your shuttle ride as well? Other parking facilities serving the Chicago Midway International Airport advertise a “free shuttle” service and then stick you with a hidden “fuel surcharge fee." Avoid these and other hidden surcharges when leave your car at Midway EZ Park.
