  • Terminal 1 to T3

    How do I get from Terminal 1 Concourse B Gate B18 to Terminal 3 Gate 9? How much time is needed?

     

    Take the ATS shuttle train on the ATS level, which takes only minutes. You only mention Gate, 9 at Terminal 3. However, T3 has Concourses G, H, K & L: Concourse L with 11 gates, the Y-shaped gateway to Concourses K with gates K1-K20 and Concourse H with gates H3-H18 in the center, and Concourse G with gates G1A-G21 to the left - with gates G13-G17 on the Concourse's lower level. When you arrive look at the overhead screens and find your departure gate/concourse.

    How quickly can I get from terminal 2 to terminal one concourse C?

     

    You need to go down to take the tunnel connecting to Terminal 1 and go through security. The upper level leads to Concourse B, which connects by walkway at its center to Concourse C. Count on at least 30 mins.

    Hi, We land into Terminal 1 and Leaving thru Terminal 5, we have about 3 hour to do so. Will have checked and carryon luggage. Can we make it?

     

    1. Make sure your bags are properly tagged with all 3 airport codes to arrive safely at your end destination. 2. Upon arrival at T1 take the ATS shuttle train running every few minutes to T5. T5 has Concourse M wrapping around the concessions court - to the right are gates M12-21, left M7-M1, center M8-1 (long walks). You have plenty of time.

    arriving from the UK at T5 then next plane is from T1 how long would this take on average to get there from picking up luggage thank you

     

    1. All international arrivals need to go through passport control, pick up their bags, go through customs clearance and re-check-in their bag (which should be properly tagged showing all 3 Airport codes). Thereafter proceed to the ATS level (above Federal inspection) for the ATS shuttle train which runs every few minutes between the International & domestic terminals. T1, on the upper level, leads to Concourse B, which in turn connects to Concourse C. Look at your ticket to see which gate you depart from (i.e., B22, C32). Allow at least 1.5 hours to get to your departure gate.

    MY MOM IS TRAVELING FROM SF. TO JORDAN STOPPING IN ORD ARRIVING AT T3 AND LEAVING FROM T5 WOULD THE WHEEL CHAIR TAKE HER FROM T3 TO T5

     

    While the ATS train runs between all terminals at ORD, taking only minutes and running on average every 5 minutes, it is advisable to contact the Airport whether the train is ADA equipped, or what alternatives are being offered: e-mail aviation@flychicago.com or call (773) 686 3700.

    can I arrive on a flight at term 2 and catch my next flight leaving from term 3, without going back thru TSA security?

     

    All international arrivals (other than those who passed US customs in Canada) need to pick up bags, go through customs clearance & re-check-in bag if continuing journey. The ATS shuttle train runs every few minutes within the secured areas of the terminals.

     

    YES. It is possible to travel between Terminals one, two and three at Chicago O'Hare without going through security again.

    Quickest way to get from ORD term3 concourse L to CTA 'L' Blue line terminal 2 station to downtown Chicago?

     

    Subway trains from CTA 'L' Blue Line depart underground of Terminal 5, and Metra North Central's commuter trains stop at the O'Hare Transfer station, which connects to the Airport Transit System by a shuttle bus.

    Terminal 3 to Terminal 5: The ATS train connects each terminal outside the Upper Level Departures (with a bridge over the upper level roadway to the station. T5 has Concourse M which wraps around the concessions court with gates M12-21 to the right, M7-M1 to the left, and M8-M1 to the north.

    Flying United & Continental (I think terminal 1 & 2) and know I have to go outside, then back thru security. Any tips for a short route? I know security time is not predictable, but shortest route to outdoors would help; I do have a 3 hr layover.

     

    If you arrive on an international flight you will arrive at Terminal 5; you need to go to the baggage claim, get your checked bag, go through customs clearance and recheck-in your bag before moving on to your next flight. If you arrive from a domestic flight, it's Terminal 2. You need to get to Terminal 1 for Continental which connects at its upper level to the left to T2. Or from Terminal 5 take the ATS shuttle train outside the Upper-level departures (with a bridge over the upper-level roadway to the station.

    arriving on domestic United flt at term 1and departing on AA at term 3. I need wheelchair or cart assistance. Is it necessary to exit the airport and reenter at term 3? and is cart assistance available?

     

    Terminal 5 is the only "disconnected" terminal at O'Hare. The other terminals are interconnected.

     

    This does not answer the question, which is important to travellers !!!!

     

  • Connecting from UA to BA

    We arrive on a domestic UA flight into ORD and depart from T5 on a BA flight. Our tickets were purchased separately. Can we ask UA to transfer our bags to BA or do we have to claim from UA and recheck ourselves with BA?

     

    When you depart, make sure that your bags are tagged to both the ORD and the arrivals Airport indicating flight numbers. That way they will be automatically transferred
