Chicago Airport Warns Travelers to Arrive 3 Hours Before Flights

After a weekend of lengthy security lines, Chicago's O'Hare International Airport advised travelers on Tuesday to arrive at the airport three hours ahead of their flights due to TSA wait times that have been longer than usual.

Both O'Hare and Midway International Airport in Chicago have had trouble hiring and retaining Transportation Security Administration employees, which has contributed to the long checkpoint lines, Crain's Chicago Business reported on Monday.
