Spring break travel can be exciting, but it’s no secret that airports like O’Hare and Midway turn into bustling hubs of activity this time of year. Whether you’re heading out on a family vacation, a warm-weather escape, or a weekend trip with friends, a little planning can go a long way. At Galaxy Limousine Service, we know what it takes to navigate spring travel smoothly. Here are our top tips for getting through the airport with less stress and more ease.
1. Book Your Airport Ride in Advance
With more travelers on the road, rideshare apps are in high demand—and that can mean surge pricing, delays, or long waits. Skip the uncertainty and book your airport transportation ahead of time with Galaxy Limousine. We offer pre-arranged pickups to and from O’Hare, Midway, and all private aviation terminals in the region, so you can start your trip on schedule.
2. Travel Light (If You Can)
Spring break travel often means short trips, which makes it the perfect time to go carry-on only. Bypassing checked baggage can save you time at both ends of your trip and give you more flexibility if your plans change. Most airlines allow a personal item and carry-on bag—just be sure to check your airline’s size and weight limits.
3. Know Your Terminal
O’Hare and Midway each have multiple terminals, and some airlines switch gates regularly due to spring travel volume. Double-check your terminal before you leave and confirm it again after check-in. If you’re flying private, Galaxy can coordinate directly with your FBO for curbside tarmac access.
4. Give Yourself Extra Time
From longer TSA lines to increased traffic near the terminals, everything takes a little longer during spring break. Build in extra time for security and boarding—especially if you’re traveling with kids or in a group. With Galaxy Limousine, we track flight schedules and traffic to help time your pickup perfectly.
5. Stay Charged & Connected
Keep your phone and essential devices fully charged before leaving home. A portable charger can be a lifesaver if you’re stuck in a long line or delayed. Make sure you’ve downloaded your airline’s app and stored your boarding pass and travel documents in one place.
6. Dress for Security
Spring travel often means flying from cold Chicago to a warm destination, but try to dress with airport security in mind. Wear shoes that are easy to slip off and avoid excess jewelry or belts that may slow you down at TSA.
7. Don’t Forget the Return Trip
When you’re thinking ahead about your flight out, don’t forget to plan how you’ll get home. Booking round-trip airport service with Galaxy Limousine means you’ll have a professional chauffeur waiting for you when you land—no apps to open, no lines to wait in, and no surprises.
