I'm flying international from O'Hare on May 28, 2018. What is the typical time required to check bags at T5? Also, what is this year averaging for time to get through TSA checkpoints in T5, and how might the holiday affect this? I read some articles from 2016 that O'Hare was recommending arrival at airport (TSA check?) 3hrs early. Then some forums on TripAdvisor from 2017 that 2hrs was probably good enough. What are things like this year?

Flight departure is at 1045am and we have a 3hr drive to get to the airport.

We are traveling to Hong Kong on May 21, 2018 and would like your assistance on connecting time and terminal information. We will be arriving UA241 at 12:02 noon and with layover time of 1 hour and 20 min. to connect UA895. Is it enough time to make the connecting flight and any terminal information available? Any information you can provide would be a great help.
ZAP 04/19/2018
Yes, that is enough time. Both flights are in Terminal 1. All you have to do is walk from your arrival gate to your departure gate.

Thanks and have a good night!

Going from arrival in G all the way to L17 in a very short time. We both need mobile assistance . How do we request this assistance to travel to the next gate?
ZAP 04/19/2018
You need to call American Airlines and request wheelchair assistance.

Have 1 h and 45 min connection at ORD. Arriving from LHR on BA, connecting onto AA to RSW on June 30th. Do I have time to check luggage or would my best bet be carry on only? Thx
ZAP 04/04/2018
That is enough time with checked bags but doesn't leave much time to spare.
Karen 04/05/2018
Thanks. Would one stop be quicker as I probably won’t bring a bag?
ZAP 04/09/2018
Yes, it is a bit faster.

How early can I check in bags for a flight? I have a concert in Rosemont 4.5 hours before my flight and I'm not allowed a bag in the arena.
ZAP 12/28/2017
What airline are you flying and what time is your flight?
Lr 12/28/2017
United, 7:15pm
ZAP 12/29/2017
Then yes, you can check your bag with United any time that day that you like.

I'm traveling from Hiroshima Japan to Madison WI. I have a connecting flight from Ohare to Madison that I want to avoid. I wanted to know when I arrive in Ohare from Tokyo do I have to pick up my check bags and recheck them if I want to go to Madison Airport. My whole point is to instead of flying to Madison I would like to rent a car in ohare.
ZAP 11/13/2017
Yes, you will have to claim your bags in O'Hare to take them through US Customs. You can only skip the flight to Madison if it is the last flight of your reservation.
