Did you know?

  1. 01

    Chicago O'Hare was for decades the world's busiest airport by both movements and passengers before Atlanta overtook it in the late 1990s.

  2. 02

    The Helmut Jahn-designed United Terminal 1 features an iconic neon-lit underground pedestrian tunnel between concourses B and C, a memorable piece of 1980s airport design.

  3. 03

    O'Hare is famous for weather-driven delays — its geographic position in the U.S. Midwest makes it a key bottleneck for the entire national air-traffic system when snowstorms hit.

A workhorse hub with weather woes

Gregory S.BusinessTerminal T1
Pros

Good dining choices and a solid position for connecting almost anywhere in the country.

Cons

Delays pile up fast whenever the Chicago weather turns, and it turns often.

O'Hare does its job as one of the country's main connecting points, and I've had plenty of smooth trips through it. The catch is the weather, which can throw the whole schedule into disarray on a bad day. When the sun's out it's fine, when it isn't, brace yourself.
