Anyone know why planes at ORD have to circumnavigate the entire airport after landing in order to get to the gate?

Sometimes I think the pilot is being nice and just giving us a ride all the way down to the Loop, but nope just T3

There is a far runway that supposedly only 7% of arrivals use. It’s about a 30 min taxi to the terminal. It can take longer, especially if the pilot gets lost on the way

^ what MD1 said. In addition, if your plane lands early, they get sent to penalty box to wait till the assigned gate opens up. There’s the time to the penalty box and out, along with a multitude of other reasons.

Although I like MD1’s “if the pilot gets lost on the way” also

Appreciate the info, P3. Sounds almost like busy airports need a runway ATC, backed up by a Waze for runways, in addition to the regular ones.

I don’t fly through here much but the last two times I have my plan took the absolute longest route to get from runway to our gate

Can depend on weather as well as it effects which runways are used for landing and take off

This happens far too often to smaller planes, and for the right reasons

I am meeting my mom for the first time after 3 years post pandemic and going to pick her up from SFO airport. Her flight lands around 6 am PST. This is my first time where I will be driving from Sunnyvale to SFO airport and back (30 miles each) and want to avoid FasTrak/Express lanes as I don't want to pay so much money. 1. Does the Google maps 'Avoid tolls' option work in this case? 2. Any tips/tricks on driving such long distances? 3. What documents should I carry with me?

PSA: ORD blue line station is closed until 10/7. They're running shuttles between Rosemont and ORD, but probably best to just avoid the blue line for airport trips over the next week.

Folks, I finally figured out what it is about strategy consulting that I actually enjoy:

It's a comfortable (for me) intersection of math, logic, and creative story-telling.

I don't care if an engagement is properly "strategic" but I want quantitative analysis, logically sound framework and conclusions, and a compelling narrative to spur the client into action.

That's all. Happy Friday!

The point is that you shouldn't get enamored with a brand. FAANG will eventually go that way too.
