Flight from Fort Lauderdale to Chicago O'Hare Airport

Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-May 2026

Don’t plan on using overhead bin space if you board after group 4 on any American flights using 737’s. They are frequently full by the time the 4th group boards. And, if your carry on bag has to be checked at the gate, be sure it has nothing breakable inside, as it may not survive that process.

BillFlew with Frontier-Dec 2025

Wear comfortable clothing and make sure you layer. We went from 80o to 30o,

Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-Apr 2025

Chicago is a huge airport, wear comfortable shoes if you're looking to make a connection. It might be a 15 minute speed walk. Jacksonville is a little more compact and easier to navigate. Lots of food and beverage options in each.

CindyFlew with Southwest-Mar 2024

Don’t check a bag. Chicago takes forever to get your baggage.
