Millennials on the Move

Millennials are the youngest members of the workforce. They are often single, eager, and flexible to travel with their jobs. The worst thing imaginable that could happen to a millennial on the road is not to have a place to charge up their mobile devices. Airports know this and they’re doing right by these younger generations. More and more airports have charging stations where travelers can juice up their phones, laptops, and iPads.

Millennials also want healthier and trendier food options in airports, and restaurants that have locations in airports are listening. Travelers don’t want to pay for meals on the plane and want something better than a quick burger to go. Fortunately, there is a list available which airports have the best healthy food options.

Then there’s the hotel. Millennials want to stay places that have a hip, young vibe and not your standard hotel. No place exemplifies this more than theWit. The hotel bills itself as “a playfully luxurious departure From traditional downtown Chicago boutique hotels.” It’s in the heart of the city and right next to the L, perfect for environmentally minded millennials.
