Chicago > NYC

Chicago O'Hare International Airport isn't just any airport, as its a key filming spot in both Home Alone 1 and 2!!! In fact they use pretty much the same spots in both films.

In both films the family run down the famous flagged corridor. In Home Alone 1 the family head towards the K gates and board at the last second through the doors on the right hand side of gate K9. In Home Alone 2 it's Kevin who follows the wrong man towards the K gates whilst his family head for the H. Kevin runs into the lady at gate K12 spilling boarding passes all over the floor before wrongfully boarding the plane.

After this excitement was over I headed to my own gate at L7. I'm getting lucky (create your own luck) with these window seats lately so had a great view of Chicago when leaving and a modest view of Manhattan when landing.Read more
