expect some delays and be prepared, but once arrived to Lincoln, airport is very easy to navigate since it is very small. Prices are higher than other airports, but that is ok when looking for convenience.

Lately ORD airport struggles in general often having ground stops. Construction extends travel back to airport so allow 2 hrs. Over past few months, experienced far few delays on United than AA.

Chicago airport is super chaotic. We had come in from an overseas flight and were required to get our checked bags at Baggage Claim and recheck them for our next flight, which took a while. Then after going through a LONG customs line (again) and rechecking my bag, I was told to take a shuttle to a different terminal for my final flight. Even though I never left the building and had no access to the outside world, I had to go through security AGAIN (boots off, dump out my water, wait in long lines…) My advice is to be sure you have at least a couple of hours between flights to deal with the insanity.

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 ..

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).

Make sure when you go from one airline to another that your bag is marked properly so they can get it on the right damn airplane. I did that and it still didn’t make it.

Arrive early, grab a bottle of soda before getting on the plane and open it in the terminal. If you wait until flying the pressure will decarbonize the drink.

Not many amenities at the terminal. I would suggest grabbing anything that catches your eye before you get all the way down. There weren't a lot of Alaska flights out of Chicago, and we were at the extreme end of the terminal.

Make sure there's enough time between connections to go through customs and recheck your luggage. They will not let you proceed so you can't even try to run and catch the flight if you want to.

The flight is long, at over four hours. I would try to get a window or aisle seat to be more comfortable. I would check with other airlines that allow you to choose your seat even if you are in the economy section. I would bring your own food on the plane as the service was sometimes sketchy.

The flight is short enough that full beverage and snack service is limited or not offered at all. On this flight, we were offered orange juice or water. It makes sense that they can't do the full service, and doesn't bother me, but it's something to be aware of.
