Advice from real travelers
Greenville Airport is small, so security is usually quick, especially with PreCheck.
At O'Hare, expect long walks; some transfers need the terminal train.

Flights from Greenville to Chicago: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from Greenville to Chicago 
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Apr 2026
Chicago has a enormous airport so be ready to walk and transfer to international flights by train via terminal
EllenFlew with United Airlines-May 2024
Greenville airport is small, getting through security won't take too long (particularly if you have Precheck). Be prepared to walk for 10-15 minutes from your arrival gate in O'Hare to your next departure gate, if you have one. Sometimes those gates are really close together, but my experience is that they are typically farther apart and require a solid walk.
