Flights from O'Hare Intl to Norfolk: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from O'Hare Intl to Norfolk 
AmyFlew with Iberia-Sep 2026
Chicago Airport is very busy, expect at least 1.5 hours to get through security.
MarcoFlew with United Airlines-Dec 2025
United delayed my luggage twice on flight to Europe (first flight was for an important event) I carry 2 days of clothes in my backpack no matter who I'm flying with United especially so. No less than 2 hour layover to decrease possibility of loss/delay of luggage. Second EU trip my luggage was left in Germany even though my layover was just over 1 hour. Select layovers of 2+ hours although Unite will sell flights with 40 minutes layover (nonsense). 1 hour layover was not enough to transfer luggage in FRA. The last scan was 30 minutes after the flight left (SMH).
