Give adequate time of more than 2 hours for your connection in Chicago O’Hare .. The terminals are not that far apart but still if it’s checked out and check in again process that involves TSA security screening again , 2 hours may not be enough ..
mauriceFlew with Iberia-Sep 2024
You should arrive early, take a lighht snack and be prepared for delays.
AlexanderFlew with Spirit Airlines-May 2024
Know your connection options — specially when LaGuardia Airport (LGA) only has buses going to/from the airport to the rest of the city. Luckily, the one to the subway station (Q70) is free-of-charge to ride on!
