Large, busy airport. There are a lot of shipping options here, if that's something you'd like to arrive early or something to do on a long layover. Alternatively, the B convos had undergone remodeling with modern seating that have outlets attached. Not so much in the F concourse.

Had a one hour layover at this airport and it is fairly easy to move around in with lots of space. The design of the concourse is beautiful with the arches and natural lighting coming from all sides. It’s a steampunk-like concourse design. Very efficient airport with some modern features. It’s also the base airport of United Airlines so this is the signature United experience. Super cool airport!

This is definitely not my favourite US airport. It's always very busy and the shopping is very limited. Even the business class lounges are small and tired. I'm hoping they will do an upgrade soon. I would spend as little time here as possible. Definitely visit the nearby outlet mall though.

Very large airport but needs some updating like the bathrooms etc..

They have a lactation pod which is pretty neat

The shuttle/train connects everything which is pretty cool however expect to walk/travel between 15-20 minutes to your carousel/car rental.

So if you are flying in for a last minute meeting or in a rush do not land close within that! Unless you plan on I wrong!

Love Chicago international Airport. Lots of choices for Great food and drinks. Gift shops. They also offer Shuttles to hotels, Taxis and Valet. Large parking lot and a metro service right across from the Terminal. They offer first class boarding and concierge services. Overall a great airport.

Very busy but nice airport. Had a shelter in place for a tornado warning in the area. Seemed chaotic but the employees kept everyone safe. Easy to access throughout airport. USO that was in terminal 2 was awesome!

This is an amazing airport! Well organized. Great signage. Stores, restaurants and conveniences are well situated. Lots of restrooms. It's busy and we experienced an hour+ delay in our layover. That was frustrating. Clean too!

Nice BIG airport. Lots of walking but thank goodness for rolling walkways. Takes awhile to get to the train or subway too at the airport walking. Lots to see! Love Chicago!! ❤ My playground in my earlier years...
