Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from Germany to Chicago

Bring a foam pad, your butt will thank you
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Aug 2026
please don’t recline all the way back without notifying and getting approval from person behind you
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Mar 2025
Beware the long distances at O’Hare terminal 5. Moving walkway help, but it was 1/2 mile or more from gate to passport control
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2024
We opted for Premium Economy and while more expensive, it’s definitely worth it on a long flight. Quieter, more room, and included a checked bag per passenger. The seats are much more comfortable. The only downside is the restrooms. PE is supposed to use the restrooms at the back of the plane even though there are bathrooms right in front of PE for first class. Stupid, the stewards kept locking those bathrooms and there was always a long line for the restrooms at the back. This was on United. We didn’t have this issue on Lufthansa PE.
