O'Hare Airport - multiple airlines Reviews

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… read full review »

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… read full 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.… read full review »

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… read full review »

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… read full review »

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. — … read full review »

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… read full review »
