O'Hare And Midway Get Free Unlimited Wi-Fi
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Travelers trying to fight off boredom or get some work done while waiting for flights at O'Hare and Midway now have access to unlimited free Wi-Fi service at both airports.
The Chicago Department of Aviation announced unlimited free Wi-Fi, with streaming capability, is available for the first time at O'Hare and Midway, replacing the 30-minute free Wi-Fi that had been offered until now.
