O'Hare Airport - multiple airlines Review Summary

Most every frequent traveler has visited Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. Reviewers who have experienced O’Hare point out the friendly employees, large number of cities serviced, and fair prices for food and drink among the many reasons to like stopping at O’Hare International Airport. But other reviewers are not so praiseworthy and this is noted in contrasting comments about O’Hare, like “Never Had a Problem” and “Be Prepared for Insanity”. The difficulty of navigating through O’Hare is one common problem along with the issues with security checkpoints and the ease of getting lost. Many have no choice when it comes to flying, since so many airlines have stopovers at O’Hare, but reading reviews of other Airlines/Travel could result in some better alternatives.

I flew in to O'Hare this past Friday and out on Saturday. I've been in the airport before - but not in a long time. I think it's been 20 years or so.

O'Hare is a huge airport. You need to allow plenty of time. I was fine coming in. Charlotte really isn't a big airport. I managed that and then caught the...

Expect to be delayed at O'Hare.  That way if things work out, you'll be pleasantly surprised.  However, on-time is the exception rather than the rule.  However, if you are delayed arriving, your connecting flight is probably equally delayed departing (the smaller the plane the more likely -- and longer...

I fly into O'Hare alot and thankfully, I've never had any problems. Yes, you have to arrive early to go thru security, but since Sept. 11th, that's probably the case at most airports. I check in online 24 hrs. early, so I skip that hassle at the airport. I get there, find my gate and sit and wait to board. I know the routine by now, so getting thru security hasn't been bad. I have my shoes off, clear bag of 3 oz. bottles in hand and I go right thru. Happy traveling!

In my opinion, Ohare is very easy to navigate, but then again, I'm from the Chicago surrounding area. The food and drink vendors are everywhere so you don't have to go far for what you need.

Overall the airport is VERY good, but it is SOO big. If you get delayed on your way there and/or find your flight has been made earlier or you're coming from oversea's on a connecting flight etc. it can take FOREVER to get to your gate! Especially with security the way it is now, you really need to get there 2 HOURS before your flight is due to take off just incase. Better to be way too early than just a few minutes late or REALLY late.

 

The only problem i've had there is when we have been delayed on the way and arrived too late...we were running through trying to find our gate, EVENTUALLY found...

In the 5+ times I have flown into this airport, either as a final stop or as a layover, only once have I not had some sort of trouble. Whether it's problems with security, lost luggage or getting bumped from several connecting flights before telling me I had to wait until the next day to fly out, and then having to pay for my own hotel room, I have not had many good experiences with this airport. And while I realize not all of the problems are directly caused by the airport, it often seems like it is ill-equipped to handle the magnitude of traffic that goes through it. I am to the point where I... review »

I spent 16 hours in this airport as a minor. After my plane was late flying in, I missed my connection flight. All other flights were cancelled. They had my sister and I, walking from one terminal to another. It was completely riddiculous. We werent given any food vouchers and had no money, so we had to rely on the kindness of random strangers to give us a few bucks for food. We didnt encounter many nice employees. However there was this nice lady that was going to let us stay at her place if we couldnt get out that night. Overall, unless you are an airport junky, do not attempt this airport. Too... review »

I have flown through numerous airports, and Chicago O'Hare is one of my favorites. There are lots of different choices for resturants and there are normally some interesting exibits to entertain you while you wait for your next flight. I have had fewer problems with delays then some other airports (like Atlanta). There are lost of places to sit and it doesn't take forever to get through security. The customs set up is one of the better ones I've gone through. If I am choosing between two flights of about equal price and times, one through O'Hare and one through another airport, I will almost always...

I personally don't like this airport. I've also been personally stranded there. It is a busy hub so if you can avoid it- avoid it. Everytime I've been through this hub, my flight is always delayed. In fact, I was once stranded in Chicago for a night. It is busy and there are a lot of planes flying in and out of here. The airport isn't that updated either. I am a frequent flyer and this airport doesn't mean my standards. Be prepared for lines and also pack something if you don't want to buy food at the airport.

The terminals are too big, too confusing, line at security are too long, there is always new construction going on in the lobbies which make locating your airline more difficult.  Like most airports they need to get rid of the carts in the concourse selling learn a foriegn language tapes which just block the paths in and out of the gates.

Ohare Airport is a very busy airport.  It seems like you can get around pretty easy.   The food is overpriced like all other airports.  I have to say the I do perfer to take a flight from Ohare than some of the others. People are also friendly up there.

I love Chicago! Their airport leaves nothing to be desired. It's huge, has a ton of restaurants to offer. It would be nice if there were more stores actually in the airport, but other than that it's fabulous. I also am biased to the city of Chicago in general, but the airport just helps the city!

O'hare airport is utter Chaos. I can't count the number of times I've flown through or the airlines I flew with but everytime, something was delay or changed. Resulting in me waiting for hours, or running a mile from one terminal to another because a flight was changed.

I have been through O'Hare too many times to count in the last 25 years. It is a great airport if you are not on a rushed shedule. A nice place to lay over and feel like you are in a little city but a horror if you are trying to get through it to make another connection.
