Getting Around Chicago O'Hare International Airport - Full Airport Tour

[@drawin.kuties]

Life saver needed a preview of this maze

[@MilesByFoot]

Glad I could help!

[@biotechnickmusic]

I am SO glad i watched this before my trip to Chicago! I'll make sure to visit the Brachiasaurus while im there

[@BigSharkk]

Excellent ! I was employed by United in the late 70's late 80's at O'hare, Cargo then to commercial baggage. The times with my co-workers was some of the best memories. Good times, good people. O'hare has grown over the years and in my opinion for the better. . I will always love this airport traveling into and from, especially my time working there. Great vid !

[@MilesByFoot]

I'm so glad!

[@huntrrams]

Reason I love about ohare is that you can walk from Terminal 1,2,and 3 without using a train and that they are connected. That’s a pretty rare thing I see with some airports.

[@MilesByFoot]

The best part about it!

[@sean2015]

Yes but unfortunately Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are not connected to Terminal 5. This is a common complaint among O’Hare passengers.

[@andykillsu]

@@sean2015yes it is, and it won’t matter soon when the new international terminal 2 is complete.

[@sean2015]

@@andykillsu first of all, that project won't even be complete until at least 2029...and when is the last time any project in Chicago ever finished on time, much less under budget? Those ATS trains were only supposed to be offline for 7 months and it wound up taking close to 3 years. Second, what about passengers who need to connect to a flight in Terminal 5 from Terminals 1, 2, or 3?

[@andykillsu]

@@sean2015 They won’t be connecting because all of terminal 5 traffic will be airlines that don’t have connections at Ohare like delta, frontier and Southwest. And even then they still have the bus transfer service.

[@facingthewind]

Had a dream about walking through all the terminals here and then I woke up to this… excellently done as always.

[@MilesByFoot]

Nice! I'll have a walking tour up in a couple weeks with each terminal!

[@marvellespiller63]

I work here so I’ve walked all over this airport maybe I’ve missed a few cracks but I’ve been throughout this whole airport when I see stuff I walk there also my new job is fueling airplanes now Great video I love united side I love walking that colorful walk through underneath the tunnel connecting B to C on united side

[@TicaNancyTeaches]

Hi there! I haven't finished the video yet. But, do you know if there are sleep pods? I have a 13 hour overnight layover. So I might as well rent a sleep pod in the airport :) thanks!

[@MilesByFoot]

UPDATES as of 6/2/2024 Delta now arrives and departs from Terminal 5! (thanks @chiefbozx) The Terminal Transfer Bus has reopened as of March 1, 2023, connecting Terminals 1, 3, and 5 to one another airside. It runs every 15 minutes every day from 11:30 AM to 9:30 PM Central Time. You can catch the bus at Gate B1 in Terminal 1, Gates G17 and K20 in Terminal 3, and Gate M13 in Terminal 5. Concourse M's expansion is complete, now with 30 gates total. Thanks @tonyde52! The check-in counters, baggage claim and customer service offices for both JetBlue and Alaska are located in Terminal 2; however, all flights for both airlines depart out of Concourse G which is technically in Terminal 3 (JetBlue flights use Gate G2 and Alaska flights use Gate G4). This leads to confusion for arriving passengers about where to retrieve their checked bags. They need to go to Terminal 2, not Terminal 3. Here are the directions for arriving JetBlue and Alaska passengers: from Gates G2 and G4, take a left when you get off the plane, walk a very short distance to the dark circular hall known as The Rotunda, make a soft left turn and walk across a short pedestrian bridge leading into Terminal 2. Straight ahead is a glass display case with women's dresses in them. To the right of those dresses are two glass revolving doors leading out of the secured area and into the Terminal 2 departures hall. From there, walk downstairs to Terminal 2 baggage claim. Thanks, @sean2015!

[@MrKrakowian]

Great video. O’Hare is a good airport but it definitely needs to renovation ✈️!

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

Big cities like Chicago are lucky to have a 2nd airport that early like O'Hare International Airport. O'Hare is bigger and younger than Midway and has been expanding these past few years.

[@gamingjetboy8517]

On the contrary, Midway is older than O'Hare. In the 1950's Midway was the only major airport in Chicago, all the major airlines used it, until it outgrew the land, and became land locked. This is when Chicago, acquired the land where Orchard Field was. It moved all major airlines operations to the new Orchard Field in the early 1960's. It continues to grow and in 2023, it is now land locked unless another eminent domain is declared.

The things about this airport is it keeps growing adding routes. It was IMO only a matter of time until Southwest started operating from ORD. I also like this Airport a lot cause that’s where they filmed Home Alone

[@MilesByFoot]

From the time I shot this to the time I published, new routes had appeared! I love Home Alone, but is it weird that seeing old ORD is one of my favorite parts?

[@jl453]

I'm watching this video right now and yes,I'd like to see a video about international flights from O'Hare. I'm taking my second ever international trip to England this summer and though I've done it before,I'd still like to see a video about it.

[@MilesByFoot]

Thanks for the input!

[@christopherway7669]

This showed some great information. Headed out to Iceland next week. Thank you.

[@gamingjetboy8517]

Concourse L was originally used by Delta, and they are the ones who put the shiny metal everywhere. American acquired the concourse in the late 90's - early 2000's when Delta made a temporary move to Concourse E, until the new expanded international terminal was built. Delta is now located in the M Concourse (International Terminal)

[@MilesByFoot]

Great insight!

[@LazyDaisyDay88]

That was a great tour. Note that British Airways will be departing from T3 after April 24 (but still arriving at T5 as usual)

[@techmantra4521]

Been through ORD 6 times on three trips from the UK and it's such a nice Airport. They had renovations to the international terminal when I was there last in October but we got through arrivals security in the end.

[@sewlok3492]

I'll be flying soon with a layover at O'Hare. Don't fly much & scared to death about navigating this airport. 🙏🙏

[@techmantra4521]

@sewlok3492 Don't be scared. Heathrow is one of the hardest, but you only have to look at the signs. They're well signed. Chicago is nice. It all makes sense, and getting to other terminals is easy enough.

PS. Just to update you on Terminal 5 M CONCOURSE now has 30 gates, not 19. Recent expansion is completed

[@MilesByFoot]

Thanks for the update!

[@sean2015]

Some important notes. 3:55 Delta is no longer in Terminal 2. They moved to Terminal 5 late last summer. The check-in counters, baggage claim and customer service offices for both JetBlue and Alaska are located in Terminal 2; however, all flights for both airlines depart out of Concourse G which is technically in Terminal 3 (JetBlue flights use Gate G2 and Alaska flights use Gate G4). This leads to confusion for arriving passengers about where to retrieve their checked bags. They need to go to Terminal 2, not Terminal 3.

I've already updated the top comment to clarify Delta's move, but I'll add your explanation for JetBlue/Alaska to that comment. I couldn't think of a good way to explain this in a short period of time in the video, but your directions are exactly right! Thanks for sharing!

[@markherron1407]

I love 😍 Midway Airport!

[@donbeyer2293]

Your tours are great. Wish you would point out the best places inside the terminals for spotting, especially the runways, if there are any.

[@MilesByFoot]

Thanks for the feedback! This is something I'm planning to incorporate in future videos! O'Hare is a little tricky just because it's so *big.* In some cases, the runways for heavy take-offs are quite a distance from the terminal. However, there's great gate-spotting all over, and the day I visited had some great variety, including a classic liveried American West aircraft!

[@donbeyer2293]

I was at ORD about 10 years ago. Got great photos of Terminal 5 arrivals and departures from the end of K Concourse. Wondered if that's still possible?

[@sirajahmad8247]

Intresting

[@tube.brasil]

From Brazil, Chicago is by far the most expensive destination in the US. Up to 50% more than other major cities. Probably because only United has a direct flight.

[@AmirAdam]

Thank you so mush I'm flying chicago by myself so I know where I'm going to I'm flying with emirates

[@MilesByFoot]

Have a safe trip!

[@deanc.5984]

Traffic, construction, lengthy walks to get to terminals. Go thru Midway.

[@mathewmclean9128]

I think I hold the world record for quickest connection in Chicago O'Hare. I was flying from Sioux City to Phoenix and the flight from Sioux City was an hour late. So that cut my connection time from 1 hour 15 minutes down to 15 minutes. It was a small regional plane so they sent me at the front of the plane in row number one so I could get out first. We arrived at terminal 2 gate F9 and I deplaned at about 3:36 and boarded my departing flight in the terminal 1 at gate C18 at 3:52 and of course I was the last one on the plane and boarding was supposed to end at 3:55. And for those of you who have not experienced O'Hare yet, the C concourse is actually further than the B concourse. You have to go through the B concourse and down a long connector tunnel to C.

[@MilesByFoot]

Those are thrilling to look back on, but terrifying in the moment!

[@joaniedaniel9889]

Glad I found you heading to Chicago via southwest through O'Hara. Where would a shuttle pick you up? Thanks love the pace of your video😊

[@tazkidd49gd-yt67]

I’m only going to be here for 3 and a half hour layover and I really hope it’s not complicated for me

[@MilesByFoot]

It's more complex than your average airport, but if you're not changing airlines, it's about the easiest it can get!

[@emirhan2884]

thanks for the great tour! so informative. what do you think of my chances for connecting to a flight in terminal 1 from terminal 5 (without pre-clearance) with nearly 3 hours in my hand?

[@MilesByFoot]

Glad it was helpful! It's now much easier with the Terminal Transfer Bus back up and running if you're landing domestically, but even landing internationally, this will be plenty of time, even during busier times of day!

[@Camporito25]

Cool!

[@emreyurttas5051]

Question will you being doing a tour of ATL which is one of my favorite hubs?

[@MilesByFoot]

It's just a matter of when!

[@JimSub2]

You should do an update with how much has already changed with airlines and T5 expansion

[@MilesByFoot]

I agree!

[@TomStick91]

I flew with Cape Air to ORD last week and was surprised that the airline was moved to G gates (G15).

[@MilesByFoot]

Right! They'll squeeze in where there's space, and G gates have recently had the most room for little regionals!

[@thayeeboi890]

you should explore BOG

[@MilesByFoot]

Bogotá is near the top of my list for places I want to visit in South America!

[@BarraHeist]

Great video - very imformative - im travelling to the US next week for the first time and connecting in O'Hare from London, and on to St Louis - Am I right in saying that ill arrive at Terminal 5 and need to get to Terminal 3?

[@MilesByFoot]

Yes, that's very likely what will happen. After you clear customs, you'll need to use the people move to go to Terminal 3 and re-clear security, assuming your connection is on American.

[@nicholasbarry7580]

Can you make a CLT Airport Tour? It would be very helpful for people that are making connections at CLT.

[@MilesByFoot]

I made a CLT tour in early 2020, but after they upgrade over the next couple years, I'm sure I'll be back!

[@ModelAviationStation]

Can you do a tour of Tampa International airport?

[@MilesByFoot]

Tampa is one of the highest airports on my list of potential destinations to visit next!

[@sharlansimmons7240]

Hello miles by foot I am connecting on United Airlines from Austin Texas in this airport and I’m going to Detroit Michigan I have a 40 minute connection how long would it take me to get from one Concourse to another just in case I have to change concourses?

[@MilesByFoot]

From what I can find, flights from Austin to O'Hare land in Concourses B or C (both part of Terminal 1) and flights from O'Hare to Detroit are often in the same concourses, but not always, occasionally using Concourse D in Terminal 2. Walking from the farthest gate in C. back through B, to D, is about 2/3s of a mile, around a kilometer, which even at a good clip will take 15 minutes, which is about the longest possible walk. It could be much shorter. As soon as you land, check the United app to confirm the gate, then check the departure boards inside to make sure you know where you're headed! No doubt about it, this is a tight connection. If there's a significant delay in your arrival from Austin, you may miss that flight to Detroit, but as long as the tickets were booked together and the delay is out of your control, United must rebook you to your destination. Good luck!

[@sharlansimmons7240]

Thank you so much it really helps

[@sharlansimmons7240]

Hello miles by foot I made my connection to Detroit and they left out of F1 in terminal two thank you so much for all your help😊

[@keimonteballard877]

its a great idea but 1.5-2 hours from ohare to midway by this method

[@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102]

3:59 Delta is at Terminal 5 as of 10/2022.

[@MilesByFoot]

Indeed it is! I've already added a note under the video description!

[@chuckywang]

The Ohare Metra station is not really a viable option most of the time. It's basically a commuter train with service only M-F and mostly during rush hour. It's also not that great with large baggage.

[@MilesByFoot]

Great insight! Definitely agree; it's more expensive, as well. You'll nearly always want to take CTA.

[@incubus_the_man]

If I have an 8 hour layover in ORD before an international flight, should I leave the airport or would it be impractical to leave? I'll have to go back through security and everything.

[@MilesByFoot]

Is that enough time? Yes, you can get downtown in about 45 minutes on the Blue Line to see anything you might want to (there's plenty to see!.) As long as you're back at ORD two hours before your flight, you'll be fine. I've done this myself when travelling internationally. If you have checked bags that will be transferred for you, no problem! If you have to transfer yourself (collect them from baggage claim then check in again), you may be able to check in and drop off your bags early. If you can't check in that early (most times it's between 4-6 hours before your flight), the baggage office for your airline can often hold your bags for you for a short time. If you feel comfortable doing that, you can go explore Chicago without having to lug your bags around. It's not impractical at all, I love having getting a visit a city I'm transiting through. Chicago has widespread, reliable rapid transit, and as long as you allow sufficient time to return (and extra money in case you need to take an emergency taxi or Uber/Lyft) you should be golden!

[@user-bd1of7ie3r]

Hello, I am arriving to Chicago from Dubai, I am going to be in terminal 5 because it’s international flight. After I go to immigration and pick up the luggage, do I have to go to different terminal or stay in the terminal 5. Also I am going to TN and my second airplane will be in delta and the transit is 4 hours Any advice

[@MilesByFoot]

Delta currently uses Terminal 5, so while you will still need to clear security again after going through customs, you won't have to go far for your next flight. Four hours is plenty of time for an international transfer, no matter the airport!

[@n310ea]

I used to think ORD was Orlando International Airport.

[@MilesByFoot]

Turns out Orlando's two airports are MCO and SFB! I love the codes that don't make sense; always a story behind them!

[@ansamshafie-ti4qi]

If I’m travelling from Canada to another country but transiting through O’Hare do I need to pick up luggages at Chicago and drop them again ? ( one booking)?

[@MilesByFoot]

The short answer is probably not. You'll have to clear customs to enter the U.S., even if you're transiting, so it depends on whether you go through U.S. preclearance in Canada or at O'Hare. Most major airports in Canada will offer preclearance, including Toronto Pearson, Vancouver, Ottawa, Montreal Trudeau, Edmonton, and Winnipeg. Not all airlines participate, but if you're flying Air Canada, there's a good chance you will *not* need to clear customs at O'Hare, as you'll have done so at your Canadian airport. Besides calling your airline and asking, a good way to know for sure is to check which gate your inbound flight to O'Hare uses. If it consistently arrives at an M-gate, you'll be clearing customs. If you're landing anywhere else, you will clear customs in Canada and be all set when you land! Safe travels!

[@zoelvamiraj962]

Is it terminal 1 the Home Alone 2 chaotic airport scene taking place ?

[@MilesByFoot]

That scene was filmed in Terminal 3, in the hall before Concourses G and H, which is also the opening shot of this video. This is one of the reasons I love visiting ORD; can't help but picture that scene every time!

[@moochen99]

How about domestic (United airline) connect to international (ANA) transfer in 40 min? Because airline change my schedule 😢😢

[@MilesByFoot]

That's about as tight as it gets! ANA generally departs from Concourse C in Terminal 1, and United generally arrives in Terminals 1 or 2. That one might come down to luck and how fast you can move!

[@MyBelch]

Is there a USO?

[@MilesByFoot]

There are two; one is pre-security in Terminal 2, upstairs when you walk in, over the check-in desks. The other, which I feature in the video at 7:15, is airside in Terminal 3, in the Rotunda. Go upstairs in the Rotunda, and it's at the top of the stairs.

[@tamaranazario2161]

[@MilesByFoot]

BOS is high on my list; hoping to get there within the next year or so!

[@5590ERS]

Have you ever done an airport tour of Washington Dulles(IAD)?

[@MilesByFoot]

I wish! I was there in June 2021, but my inbound flight was delayed so much that I couldn't do a tour. I'll be back as soon as I can, though! What a neat airport!

[@dvferyance]

I didn't know Southwest flew to O Hare. Must be a recent thing. I don't get why it's necessary because they have a big base a Midway. They practically own Midway.

[@MilesByFoot]

They've only done it since early 2021. My guess is they found enough people were flying to Chicago to use O'Hare that they'd pay for the convenience of landing on site to avoid transiting from MDW to ORD. Moreover, with international traffic down during the pandemic, the international terminal probably had some capacity again!

[@canyonoverlook9937]

Many people who live in the north and northwest suburbs most likely wouldn't consider flying out of Midway because it is too inconvenient. Now those people will consider Southwest. I know I will. There is no point in going all the way to Midway from where I live when you have all the choices out of O'hare. O'hare is the main airport for the Chicago area and the most prestigious so I can see why Southwest would want to get in there.

[@dvferyance]

@@canyonoverlook9937 I don't believe Southwest flies to DFW. There you have to go to Love if you want to fly Southwest.

[@melindataylor3132]

Question you said that United can be located in all 4 terminals, but mainly in B&C. Which flights would be in the other two terminals? We are flying from Washington DC to Chicago and Chicago to LA. Normally is this in the B&C Terminal ? Thanks

[@MilesByFoot]

While it's impossible to be 100% certain, the last 10 flights from O'Hare to LAX have all departed from Concourses B and C, both in Terminal 1, regardless of the time of day or aircraft used. The legs from ORD to LAX are generally flown by mid-size to large planes, which limits the gates they can fly from. The gates in B and C, especially near the concourse center, are designed for larger planes. So I can be about 99% certain at least, with Concourse B being the most likely concourse!

[@irondude71]

I have a 7 hours 55 min layover here, looking for things to do :(

[@MilesByFoot]

Even by my standards, that's a long layover to just be in an airport. Depending on the time of day and your baggage and the group you might be with, you could easily get downtown and see a couple sights in that amount of time, which I'd recommend! The Blue Line can get you there and back in about 90 minutes round-trip for $5.00.

[@peterwhalen9069]

Can you do a tour in the new terminal c at mco

[@MilesByFoot]

I'd love to, and the opportunity might arise sooner than I expected!

[@donatedbaconunicorn8853]

I have a flight (domestic) originating in Orlando going to Chicago , and then on too Ireland , I only have 45 mins in Chicago would I be able to make it?

[@MilesByFoot]

Whew, that is tight! If they're booked on the same ticket, then the airlines are betting you can, but it will still be a challenge. American and United fly to Dublin, so if you're heading over on either airline, your connection will likely be close by, especially if it's American, as American's Terminal 3 is a little more compact than United's presence here. If you're flying United, it will likely be out of Terminal 1, probably Concourse C, which is close if you're landing in Concourse B, just one underground tunnel away. If you're on Aer Lingus, this will depart from Terminal 5, which will require you to use the Terminal Transfer Bus. It goes to Terminal 5 every 15 minutes all day, and you can catch it at Gate B1 in Terminal 1, or Gate G17 or K20 in Terminal 3. It'll drop you off at M13 in Terminal 5. It's a long terminal, so if it's Aer Lingus you're flying, get ready to run!

[@Therealmoseslupai]

So basically it’s a city within a city. Just like midway.

[@leaguignard]

Hello thank you for your video. I have a question, I have a plane arriving at 12:50 p.m. at terminal 5 and another plane leaving at 3:40 p.m. at terminal 1, do you think I will have enough time to have my second flight? I am French and I am afraid of getting lost in this big airport. Thank you, Beautiful day, Lea

[@MilesByFoot]

This is on the short side of connections, but manageable. Most of the time you spend here will be in customs, which can take from 30-90 minutes, depending on the day. Once you leave Terminal 5, take the people mover (they call it ATS) to Terminal 1, then re-clear security. After security, you can reach any gate in Terminal 1 in less than 10 minutes. Bon voyage!

[@andykillsu]

You should be fine. They have the terminal transfer bus running again. Plus they have minimum connection times that won’t let you book a connection that is too tight (assuming you didn’t have 2 separate bookings)

[@tuandoan-saigon]

[@nicholasbarry7580]

Hello, I am planning on connecting from T5 to T3 within a 1-hour and 10-minute connection. Would I be able to do that? Thanks!

[@MilesByFoot]

While it depends on a number of factors, this should be possible if: Both flights are domestic (or customs pre-cleared) Both flights are booked on the same ticket If they're the same ticket, the airline(s) think you can make it, and will generally be required to rebook you if you miss the 1h10 window due to an inbound delay. Things that help this are the time of day (you'll need to reclear security, so however long the TSA lines are will factor in), whether or not you have to check and recheck a bag, and how many people are traveling with you. Good luck!

[@nicholasbarry7580]

@@MilesByFoot So the two airlines that I would be flying with is Southwest and American Airlines. I wouldn’t be checking a bag in either.

[@MilesByFoot]

@@nicholasbarry7580 That's about the best combo you could have, but if they're not booked on the same ticket (Southwest doesn't do that), you still run a risk of missing the flight and having to handle that with American, even if the delay is out of your control. Assuming the Southwest flight lands on time, though, the transfer should take about 30-45 minutes. It's close, but doable!

They SHOULD'VE use O'Hare instead of ORD!

CHI or OHR make more sense, of course, but I love the nod to history, too!

​@@MilesByFoot, I don't know if both those airport codes, CHI and OHR, are taken or retired.

Are there still as many people tending to wear masks there as there is in the video?

[@MilesByFoot]

This was filmed in March 2022, so the federal mask mandate for airports was still in effect. Few travelers still do now, but more than did before the pandemic; maybe 15-20% of travelers still wear one.

[@caesiumx1334]

@@MilesByFoot Thanks for the info. Wanting to get to where I'd feel ok traveling finally after so long.. but ooof just looking at these busy places gives me anxiety.

They still wearing masks in 2023?

[@MilesByFoot]

This was filmed in March 2022, while the federal mask mandate was still in effect, so, yes and no. :)

[@hyemuhyemu8221]

Yeah because we still have covid in 2023. I tested positive for it two weeks and wear my mask. But i only wear it because i look like ninja with my hoodie. Not because i actually care if i get you infected...

What happened to Terminal 4???

[@MilesByFoot]

In the late 80's, before what we know as Terminal 5 was built and while Terminal 1 was being renovated, ORD built a temporary international terminal to relieve congestion from the existing terminals, which they called Terminal 4. It was not terribly successful, and it lasted less than ten years. Terminal 5 opened in 1993, but by then, people were used to calling it Terminal 5, so they never changed it.

This airport ,like tge vast majority of American ones ,is a disgrace to the word "airport". I have vowed never to travel through this country again wven if ot means having to pay double the price of a ticket
