American Airlines Redefines Airport USOs with New 'Cyber Canteen' at O'Hare
Troops coming home or heading out to battle will have a little bit more room to stretch out when traveling through Chicago-O’Hare thanks to the USO and American Airlines. The two are partnering up to launch a brand new Cyber Canteen. It’s pretty much just a new USO lounge, albeit with a clever name, and it offers 1,000 square feet for active military service members to escape the madness of Terminal 3.
Ready to welcome home plenty of military just in time for the holidays, the new lounge will offer seating space and relaxation room for around 120 members of the military when they find themselves flying through Chicago. The cyber part comes from all the computers and televisions that will be set up in the lounge, and there will be ample opportunities to call home and to check in with friends and family over the internet.
American Airlines has partnered up with the Illinois USO to open the new space, and the airline has even given up part of its employee lounge to create this Cyber Canteen. They want the new lounge to be a home away from home, and are offering free WiFi, free drinks, and probably some comfortable chairs and sofas.
The new lounge is open from 6am to 10pm every day of the week, and is located within American Airlines' L concourse gates. So if you’re serving in the military—thank you—and be sure to swing in.
