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

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!
