Giordano'sMay 4, 2012Have some time to kill before your flight? Want to get that first taste of Chicago when you land? We're right next to the airport! Read more
Anne SmithAugust 15, 2011Stand on the right, walk on the left - escalators and moving walk ways. Just like driving - slow right, pass on left. Thanks.
thejennamillerJune 17, 2013The Southwest flight attendants were awesome! She told jokes and he sang.
Southwest is the best airline. Cheap flights and free bags.
AshwyinAugust 23, 2014Electrical outlets are hard to find. I just found a couple close to the boarding gate
Jermaine BellMay 30, 2011This airport has reusable water bottle friendly water fountains. Bring an empty bottle and have plenty for your flight!
Zachary Bales-HenryOctober 30, 2012The airport is alright. However, Southwest is exceptional. They go above and beyond (pun intended).
Aimy RossDecember 15, 2013Celll phone lot at 6101 Cicero is groovy. Beats getting kicked out by security.
Still no VIP Lounge (of any kind)... to be an int'l airport, you have got to solve this problem
Megan WaresNovember 4, 2011There is no smoking section! If your a smoker take the patch if you go to smoke you have to go all the way back threw security what a bunch of bs!
Best place grab a bite is at Potbelly's when right at the hub of all the concourses/security line
You can walk or stand on the moving walkways. Either way you still move. Great invention
Laurin BelloOctober 26, 2014So glad to be back at home! Wish this airport would have real free and good wifi, but not.
Best yogurt parfait ever at Red Mango. Concourse B. - Linda Davis RE/MAX
V FJune 1, 2013The ticketing line for Southwest always seems to be significantly longer and slower than the others.
The moving walkway is not a ride. Please keep walking or politely step to the side. :)
For more fun at TSA checkpoint stick a summer sausage in your pants, ladies too!
Find the SWA Kids Korner cartoons and short table/seats at B23 to pass their wait time!
Arrive WAY early if you don't have TSA Pre check. The line at 7am looked like it would take over an hour (?). TSApre took like 10 minutes.- Listen to the public service announcement. The accent tells you you're in Chicago
If you have your act together, the TSA process here can be quick and painless.
Get an upgrade - then do whatever you want. Play Words with Friends all day in 1st Class.
Illinois Bar and Grill get the burger and a beer. Pretty frigging good.
LOOONNNGGG lines for security from 4-7 during the week. Beware of gum-cracking sorority sisters who don't know when to shut up in the adjacent line.
Please don't wander slowly in large groups while taking up the whole walkway.

Mike MartocciaMarch 10, 2011Avoid the bathroom lines by using the facilities inside the food court. They are in the back overlooking the tarmac. Between Reilly's Daughter and King Wah
Precheck surprisingly slow compared to other airports, but still faster than regular security.
If your gate is A4a or A4b don't wait until the last minute to get there from the main building. It is quite a walk.
Car rentals moved to another location. Must take shuttle to rentals.
Darcy StalportJune 9, 2011If you're flying Southwest, there are armchairs with AC and USB power at the end of the B gate jetway
It's not posted anywhere (probably for a reason), but you can walk around the terminal with an alcoholic beverage that you purchase from one of the bars. And if you do plan to purchase a drink, find t
