We flew Delta between Atlanta and Chicago recently, and traveled through O'Hare's Terminal 5…read more Terminal 5 is used for Delta, Frontier, and Southwest. This terminal is fine. Rideshares can drop you off at Terminal 5, but they are not allowed to pick you up here. Therefore, we had to take the Airport Transit System (ATS) train from Terminal 5 to Terminal 2 to call an Uber. This was a bit confusing and inconvenient after landing, but the signage was clear enough to follow. We spent most of our time in Terminal 5 at the Delta Sky Club in Concourse M, located between Gates M14 and M11. It's excellent as far as Sky Clubs are concerned. I left a five-star review for it separately here on Yelp. Terminal 5 is big and is in a separate building away from the Terminal 1, 2 and 3 buildings, which is why you need to take the train between the buildings. Terminal 5 contains all the M gates, M1-M40.

I also loved how many different charging stations there were at every gate. I don't know if it's a Chicago thing or perhaps the contract to JFK, but I was enjoyed just how down to earth and patient most, if not all of the staff I encountered were too!

Over the past month, I have flown both through Chicago O'Hare to get to another destination and…read morealso flown a round-trip to and from Chicago O'Hare. One was to see family, and the other was for a vacation as I took in some March Madness basketball games at the United Center. I flew American Airlines for all three of these flights. I flew into and out of Terminal for all of these flights and had a positive experience each time. After all, the slogan of the Chicago O'Hare International Airport is "What We're Made Of." Unlike friends who absolutely hate flying, I enjoy the travel experience, especially when using some helpful tools like CLEAR, Global Entry/TSA Pre-Check, airport lounge membership, and airline status, most of which I was able to enjoy during my Chicago O'Hare visits. When checking in (during my rare travels where I start a journey in Philadelphia), I was able to skip the check-in area if I didn't need to check bags (as I checked in online) on one of my trips, and then this most recent time, I checked in at the priority area for assistance and checking bags. I then went and used Global Entry and CLEAR to skip most of the line at Security while keeping my shoes on (thanks to an American Express Platinum card which comes with credits for both). If I start off at a certain terminal (like Terminal 3, I believe), they won't have CLEAR but should have Pre-Check and even TSA Touches. The airline lounges in Chicago O'Hare are plentiful as there are three Admirals Clubs including a Flagship Lounge and a USO Lounge. The other lounges are in other terminals. I also found it easy to navigate the trams between terminals as I took Uber to my hotel, which I had to take from terminal 2, which was easy to navigate to. I also saw easy signage to get to the car rental area from leaving baggage claim. They have 211 restaurants including vending machines and 142 stores including vending machines. There are also 15 services including Body Chargers, Jabbrrbox (Privacy Pods), Terminal Getaway Spas, The Barber Shop at Hilton Chicago O'Hare, and Yoga Room. You can go to https://www.flychicago.com/ohare for more details about the airport. All in all, it's a great airport and one I do not have an issue with a layover here and there.

The TSA security line always looks long but they do a good job of keeping the line moving and it's never taken me more than ten minutes to get through security. After you get through security there are a wide range of shops and restaurants as you make your way to your gate. Don't forget to check out the dinosaur on loan from the Field Museum. Additional seating has been added near the gates to accommodate the increasing number of passengers. The bathrooms are often crowded and can be kept cleaner. There is an underground passageway between concourse B and C. This is always my favorite part of the airport experience. The lights and music seem calming during what could be a stressful experience.

Therefore, we had to take the Airport Transit System (ATS) train from Terminal 5 to Terminal 2 to call an Uber. This was a bit confusing and inconvenient after landing, but the signage was clear enough to follow. At O'Hare, you can only call a standard rideshare from Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. Like other major airports, there are multiple pickup zones at Terminal 2. We used Zone 2E and had no problems, though it did take about 15-20 minutes to get matched with a driver and get into their car. Terminal 2 looks like the oldest terminal at O'Hare. It's actually slated to be demolished in 2029 to make way for the new O'Hare Global Terminal (OGT), which is expected to be completed by 2033. It's functional for now, but feels a bit like a time capsule.

After you pass through the checkpoint - there is a sign hanging from the ceiling that states: "Recombobulation Area" I've never seen such a sign before! Made me laugh.

Yesterday I checked the "MyTSA" app to see what the approximate wait time for Terminal 5 might be…read more The app said 20-30 minutes. NOPE! It was a whopping 90 MINUTE wait. Ridiculous. When we the taxpayers pour billions of dollars into Homeland Security every year, you would think they might just upgrade airport security and hire enough personnel to do the job in an efficient manner. The line snaked all the way out into the ticketing area, maybe out into the outside luggage check-in area. They insisted we wait in three parallel lines at that point. However, by the time you get to the counters, it merges from three lines into one, with people crammed like sardines and no ventilation. As anyone with a functioning brain might expect, people get aggressive in that situation, jockeying for position. Not sure who designed this mess but it is fairly absurd. When we got to the front we could see that several scanning stations were empty. If it was because machinery broke down, they should fix the machines. If it's because they don't have enough personnel, they need to hire more. This is the wealthiest nation in the history of the world. Yet if you go to any so-called "third world" nation, their airport security is run more professionally than this. What an embarrassment.
