出行高峯如何搞定美國七大機場

Pack a portable charger and your patience. Thanksgiving is high season for travel across the country. For fliers, the holidays often present lengthy airport security lines, fast-food temptations and mass scrambles for open electrical outlets. The survival guide below details how to successfully meet those challenges at domestic terminals at seven airports across the country, especially when challenged by a cancellation, delay or layover.

帶好移動電源和你的耐心。年底是美國各地旅行的高峯期。對旅行者來説,假期意味着在機場排長隊等安檢,各種快餐誘惑,一羣人爭奪公用插座。下面的生存指南詳細介紹如何在美國七個機場的國內航站樓成功應對這些問題,尤其是在遇到航班取消、延誤或轉機的時候。

Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD)

芝加哥奧黑爾國際機場(Chicago O’Hare International Airport,ORD)

Layout: O’Hare has three largely domestic terminals: Terminal 1, dominated by United; Terminal 3, a hub for American; and Terminal 2 for nearly all others. Once travelers are through security, they can freely walk among the adjacent terminals, which can be a hike. To take the intra-terminal train, however, requires leaving security. It also connects to the remote international Terminal 5.

航站樓佈局:奧黑爾國際機場有三個大型國內航站樓:T1主要是美聯航(United)在使用;T3是美國航空公司(American)的樞紐;其他航空公司的航班基本都在T2。旅客通過安檢後,就能在毗鄰的幾個航站樓之間自由行走,就把它當作徒步遊覽吧。不過,要搭乘航站樓之間的火車的話,需要離開安檢點。火車還能到達離得比較遠的T5。

Security lowdown: The busiest security lines seem to be in the center of Terminals 1 and 3 (Terminal 2 has just one checkpoint). In 1 and 3, check security lanes on the outer edges. The Terminal 3 security lane past American Airlines international check-ins is often less crowded, for example.

安檢:隊伍最長的安檢點似乎是在T1和T3之間(T2只有一個安檢點)。在T1和T3,請選擇外側的安檢點。比如,在T3,經過美國航空國際值機櫃台之後的那個安檢隊伍通常不太長。

Best dining: The Chicago-based celebrity chef Rick Bayless runs two sandwich-focused Tortas Frontera outlets, one in Terminal 1 and another in 3. Dishes like Cochinita pibil sandwiches and guacamole and chips come in bulky but easy-to-eat-from cardboard boxes. Healthy snacks such as Kind bars, Greek yogurt, sushi rolls and gluten-free boxed salads are available from Cibo Express Gourmet Market, which operates in Terminals 2 and 3. Less healthy but perhaps more popular, Garrett Popcorn Shops, also in 2 and 3, specialize in the Garrett Mix, a blend of cheese and caramel popcorn. Download the free B4 You Board iPhone app to order a meal from one of five participating restaurants throughout the terminals to have a meal delivered to your gate.

餐食:芝加哥明星大廚裏克·貝利斯(Rick Bayless)分別在T1和T3開了兩個以三明治為主的Tortas Frontera快餐店。那裏供應的墨西哥烤豬肉(Cochinita pibil)三明治、墨西哥鱷梨色拉和薯條等食物都是用很大但是方便食用的紙盒裝的。在T2和T3的Cibo快捷美食店(Cibo Express Gourmet Market)能買到一些健康的小吃,比如健得堅果棒(Kind)、希臘式酸奶、壽司和無麩質盒裝沙拉。不太健康但可能更受歡迎的Garrett爆米花店(Garrett Popcorn Shops)同樣位於T2和T3。它專賣包含奶酪爆米花和焦糖爆米花兩種爆米花的Garrett混合爆米花。在iPhone手機上下載免費的B4 You Board應用程序,可以在這幾個航站樓裏的五家合作餐館裏訂餐,送到你的登機口。

Connectivity: The airport offers 30 minutes of free Wi-Fi, and higher speed access for a fee. Each terminal offers several Power Stations with four to eight stools.

網絡:機場提供30分鐘免費WiFi,付費可以上高速網。每個航站樓都設有幾個充電站,每個充電站有4至8個凳子。

Other amenities: If you have children in tow, let them play at the Kids on the Fly play zone in 2. A mother’s room in 3 offers privacy for breastfeeding mothers. Get your om on in the Yoga Room, which offers free loaner mats and cleansing wipes, also in 3 (access is free). There are day spas in Terminals 1 and 3. Haven’t had your flu shot? Get one ($30) during your layover at clinics in Terminals 1, 2 and 3.

其他設施:如果你帶着孩子,你可以讓他們在T2的Kids on the Fly遊樂區玩耍。T3設有母嬰室,給需要哺乳的媽媽提供私密空間。你可以在T3的Yoga Room瑜伽室(免費使用)活動一下,那裏免費租借墊子和清潔巾。T1和T3還有日間水療。你還沒打流感疫苗?那麼,在等候轉機時,你可以在T1、T2和T3的診所打一針(30美元)。

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)

亞特蘭大哈茨菲爾德-傑克遜國際機場(Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport,ATL)

Layout: The nation’s busiest airport, Hartsfield is made up of domestic and international terminals that bookend seven perpendicular concourses. The underground Automated People Mover bisects the concourses, linking them to one another and the terminals. “For as busy as Atlanta is, it’s rather convenient,” said Seth Kaplan, managing partner of Airline Weekly.

航站樓佈局:哈茨菲爾德是美國最繁忙的機場,包括國內和國際航站樓,兩個航站樓位於七個垂直的機場大廳的兩側。地下的自動旅客運輸系統(Automated People Mover)穿過七個大廳,把它們以及兩個航站樓連接起來。《Airline Weekly》的執行合夥人塞思·卡普蘭(Seth Kaplan)説:“對亞特蘭大這麼繁忙的機場來説,它非常方便。”

Security lowdown: There are three checkpoints in the domestic terminal, Main, North and South. The airport lists checkpoint wait times on its website. Alternatively, fliers can fill out an online Trak-a-Line form, providing an email address to which security updates will be sent.

安檢:國內航站樓有三個安檢點:主安檢點、北安檢點和南安檢點。該機場在自己的網站上公佈每個安檢點的等候時間。旅客也可以在網上填寫Trak-a-Line表格,同時提供一個郵箱地址,接收安檢的最新情況。

Best dining: Among many local choices, Atlanta’s landmark Paschal’s operates a satellite restaurant in Concourse B, serving Southern classics like fried chicken and catfish. Pick up pizza and hamburgers from Varasano’s Pizzeria in Concourse A and Grindhouse Killer Burgers in Concourse D. For sit-down meals, try One Flew South in Concourse E, which conjures rural Georgia with a photo mural of a forest. The menu offers sushi and upscale Southern fare such as pork belly sliders and pulled duck sandwiches, many labeled gluten-free and available to go.

餐食:在諸多當地餐館中,亞特蘭大的標誌性餐館Paschal’s在B廳開了一個分店,供應南方的經典美食,比如炸雞和炸鮎魚。你可以在A廳的Varasano’s Pizzeria餐廳和D廳的Grindhouse Killer Burgers餐廳點披薩和漢堡。如果想坐下來慢慢享用一餐飯,可以嘗試E廳的One Flew South餐廳,餐廳牆上的森林照片讓人想起了佐治亞州的鄉野風貌。這家餐廳供應壽司和美國南方的高檔食物,比如滑炒五花肉和鴨肉三明治,很多菜都標明:無麩質,可帶走。

Connectivity: The airport offers free Wi-Fi.

網絡:機場提供免費WiFi。

Other amenities: Work, sleep or watch TV in privacy at Minute Suites in Concourse B, offering mini-offices with daybeds, desks and showers ($38 an hour; one-hour minimum).

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)

達拉斯—沃思堡國際機場(Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport,DFW)

Layout: An elevated intra-airport train, Skylink, makes constant loops connecting the aiport’s five terminals, A through E. American Airlines, which uses DFW as a hub, operates from Terminals A, C and D, and its affiliate American Eagle uses B and D. Other domestic carriers including Delta, JetBlue and United use Terminal E.

航站樓佈局:機場內的高架火車Skylink在機場的A至E航站樓之間不斷循環行駛。達拉斯—沃思堡國際機場是美國航空公司的樞紐,A、C、D這三個航站樓都有它的航班,而它下屬的“美國鷹”航空公司(American Eagle)使用B和D航站樓。其他國內航空公司使用E航站樓,包括達美航空(Delta)、捷藍航空(JetBlue)和美國聯合航空公司。

Security lowdown: Fifteen security checkpoints are strung along gates that are generally arranged end to end. When one backs up, try the next one down; TSA staff members often direct travelers to uncongested checkpoints next door.

安檢:15個安檢點沿着登機口一字排開。如果一個排滿,可以試試下一個,工作人員經常會引導旅客到下一個人不太多的安檢點。

Best dining: Terminal A hosts a branch of Salt Lick Bar-B-Que, famous in the Austin area. Cousin’s Bar-B-Q from Fort Worth is in B and D. From the many Mexican selections, Urban Taco offers a variety of tacos on corn or flour tortillas or a lettuce wrap, plus rice bowls and salads. Sky Canyon from the celebrated local chef Stephan Pyles does Texas cuisine including Freeto-Chile Pie, barbecued brisket in sandwiches or tacos, and some international options including a ceviche bar. If you’re a fan of Slurpees, the first post-security 7-Eleven convenience store opened this month in Terminal A.

餐食:奧斯汀地區著名的Salt Lick Bar-B-Que餐館在A航站樓開了一家分店。沃思堡的Cousin’s Bar-B-Q餐館在B和D航站樓開有分店。Urban Taco供應多種墨西哥食物,比如煎玉米卷、玉米粉圓餅和生菜卷,還有米飯和沙拉。當地著名大廚斯特凡·派爾斯(Stephan Pyles)開設的Sky Canyon餐館供應得克薩斯州美食,比如Freeto-Chile派、烤胸肉三明治或煎玉米卷,也供應一些國際美食,比如酸橘汁醃魚條。本月,A航站樓將首次在安檢後的區域引進7-Eleven便利店,喜歡思樂冰(Slurpees)的旅客有福了。

Denver International Airport (DEN)

丹佛國際機場(Denver International Airport,DEN)

Layout: From the main Jeppesen Terminal, noted for its multipeaked roof, an underground train bisects three terminals, A, B and C Gates, making it easy to travel among them. United dominates B Gates; Southwest and Delta park at C Gates. American, Alaska, Frontier, JetBlue and others are at A Gates. A pedestrian bridge links the main terminal and A Gates.

航站樓佈局:一條地下火車從傑普森主航站樓(Jeppesen Terminal,它的多尖頂屋頂很顯眼)出發,穿過三個航站樓:A廳、B廳和C廳,在相互之間通行很方便。B廳主要是美國聯合航空公司的班機;西南航空公司(Southwest)和達美航空在C廳。美國航空公司、阿拉斯加航空公司(Alaska)、邊疆航空公司(Frontier)和捷藍航空公司等航空公司都在A廳。一條人行天橋連接主航站樓和A廳。

Best dining: In addition to fast-food chains, DIA, as the airport is popularly called, salts its dining selections with local outposts. At C Gates, Root Down, a branch of the Denver restaurant, offers farm-to-table fare, including raw items and sandwiches packed for the plane. At B Gates, Elway’s steakhouse is popular for its burger as well as Colorado-raised steaks, and New Belgium Hub serves microbrews from the Fort Collins brewer.

Layout: New York’s Kennedy operates six remote terminals, numbered 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8, strung together by an intra-airport Airtrain outside of security checkpoints.

There are two branches of the restaurateur Danny Meyer’s Shake Shack in Terminal 4, and one of his barbecue place Blue Smoke on the Road. The chef Marcus Samuelsson recently opened Uptown Brasserie here with an eclectic menu including fried chicken and pasta.

餐館老闆丹尼·梅耶(Danny Meyer)在T4開設了兩個Shake Shack餐館的分店以及Blue Smoke on the Road烤肉店的分店。前不久,大廚馬庫斯·薩穆埃爾鬆(Marcus Samuelsson)在這裏開設了Uptown Brasserie餐館,多樣性的菜單上有烤雞和意大利麪食。

Security lowdown: Patience. Security stations tend to be narrow, especially in the Terminal B concourses, each with its own checkpoint.

安檢:要有耐心。安檢站比較窄,尤其是B航站樓的大廳,每個大廳都有自己的安檢點。

“It’s definitely worth springing for one-day priority access that will get you through security faster, at least on American and Delta,” said Michael Alan Connelly, editor of , referring to premium economy seating that often offers a special security line.

的編輯邁克爾·艾倫·康奈利(Michael Alan Connelly)説:“購買一天的優先待遇,能讓你更快通過安檢,至少能更快通過美國航空和達美航空的安檢,還是挺值的。”他指的是通常提供特別安檢線的豪華經濟艙。

Best dining: In Terminal B’s common area, Bowery Bay Tavern trades in Philly cheesesteak and burgers, and Todd English’s Figs Restaurant does Mediterranean dishes.

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

洛杉磯國際機場(Los Angeles International Airport, LAX)

Layout: in the midst of a multibillion-dollar renovation to update and better link all terminals, LAX has nine terminals including the new Tom Bradley International Terminal (1, 2, 6, 7 and 8 are undergoing construction). American Airlines parks at Terminal 4, Delta at 5 and United at 7 and 8. While spread out, Terminals 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are accessible by walking without having to exit and re-enter security.

航站樓佈局:洛杉磯國際機場正花費數十億美元整修所有的航站樓,讓它們更好地連接起來。該機場有九個航站樓(T1、T2、T6、T7和T8號航站樓正在建設中),包括新的湯姆·布拉德利國際航站樓(Tom Bradley International Terminal)。美國航空在T4,達美在T5, 聯合在T7和T8。雖然面積很大,但是T4、T5、T6、T7和T8走路即可到達,不用出門重新安檢。

Security lowdown: With construction inside and out, the airport has created a new LAX Is Happening website that offers travel tips for each terminal. Additional screening checkpoints have been added to Terminals 5 and 6, relieving congestion. Still, the proximity of checkpoints to gates will determine where you enter. “If you try another terminal and walk back, it doesn’t make sense. It’s just a worse schlep,” said Brett Snyder, who blogs about the airline industry at the Cranky Flier.

安檢情況:因為機場內外都正在整修,所以它開設了新的LAX Is Happening網站,提供每個航站樓的使用指南。T5和T6新增了幾個安檢點,以緩解擁堵。不過,你最好選擇靠近登機口的安檢點。在Cranky Flier上談論航空業的佈雷特·斯奈德(Brett Snyder)説:“如果你在另一個航站樓安檢,再走回來,更不合適。那是一個更糟糕的決定。”

Best dining: In American’s Terminal 4, the LA Gourmet Street Truck is designed to change concepts and currently hosts a branch of Border Grill from the chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger, serving from a parked vehicle. Real Food Daily features plant-based foods. In Terminals 5 and 7, Loteria Grill, which is also popular around town, serves tacos, enchiladas and burritos. Terminal 5 also has Ford’s Filling Station, a branch of the gastropub by the chef Ben Ford, son of the actor Harrison Ford.

餐食:為了改變餐飲理念,美國航空所在的T4安排了洛杉磯美食街餐車(LA Gourmet Street Truck),目前餐車由大廚瑪麗·休·米利肯(Mary Sue Milliken)和蘇珊·費尼傑(Susan Feniger)的Border Grill餐館分店佔據,從餐車上供應食物。Real Food Daily主要售賣以素菜為主的食物。在T5和T7,洛杉磯非常出名的洛特里亞烤肉店(Loteria Grill)供應煎玉米卷、辣椒肉餡玉米捲餅和麪捲餅。T5還有Ford’s Filling Station的分店,這家美食酒吧是演員哈里森·福特(Harrison Ford)的兒子、大廚本·福特(Ben Ford)開設的。

Connectivity: LAX offers free Wi-Fi throughout its terminals. Faster access is available for $4.95 an hour or $7.95 for 24 hours.

網絡:洛杉磯國際機場的各個航站樓提供免費WiFi。每小時支付4.95美元或24小時支付7.95美元,可以獲得網速更快的WiFi。

Other amenities: Terminal 5 features a new a nursing room.
