O'Hare airport?
My next Europe flight has me leaving from Chicago's O'Hare for London. I fly
up there to make this connection. I hear that this airport is the busiest in the nation and thankfully, I have a several hour lay over. I've visited their site but was wondering if anyone could tell me what to expect??? Are there adequate seating for people waiting? What good bars, eateries are in the American Airlines International area? Any entertainment up there? Yankee Bob Flush Bush in 2004 |

AA (and UA and LH and probably a few others') international flights from ORD leave from the domestic terminal. Seating? Inadequate. Entertainment? Lacking. Meals? Various forms of fried food. There is a Wolfgang Puck's in the UA terminal that is marginally better. Sorry to rain on your parade but if you are a lounge member (or are flying Biz class or FC) run for the lounge. |

US airports, international flights by US airlines leave from domestic terminals. There is no "American Airlines International area". -- Binyamin Dissen http://www.dissensoftware.com |

Yankee Bob Flush Bush in 2004 As noted, Terminal 3 isn't geat but it isn't the dump that T2 is. A new food court opened last spring at the "Y" between the concourses. Standard stuff, McDonalds, Dunkin Doughnuts, CinnaBon. Right inside the security perimiter is a Chili's Express, if I happen to get through security quickly and have time, I'll sit there, have a beer and read the paper. Seating gate to gate should be fine unless there are major storm-induced flight delays. If you have time to kill, just find a mostly empty gate area and sit there. The people-watching is always the best entertainment. Don't know where you are flying in from, but hopefully it's not from a Regional Jet served city. Most all of those come into G concourse and its a LONG walk to anything else. HTH, Matt Chicago, IL (Yes, ORD is my home airport... at least I don't have to connect there!) |

O'Hare airport?
I'll be flying in from Cincinnati. The flight is on an Embraer 140 (ERD
whatever that means,) upon return, I will be flying on an Embraer 145 (ER4 whatever that means, again.) Does anyone know about these aircrafts? Which seats should I avoid?
