Mike ConradtOctober 10, 2013Just got back from work trip. Going to play hookie from work today. Anyone have flex work hours and wanna play hookie too??;)
Find the little Irish bar in the back of the food court
Abby NichollOctober 26, 2010Potbelly is awesome here, but they just made my bacon egg lettuce and tomato sandwich sans lettuce and tomato. Check it before you walk away!!!!
Steph HDecember 23, 2011Get picked up at the kiss ' ride, by the CTA station. No one will hassle your driver to keep moving.
Katie MyersFebruary 22, 2011Red Mango by gate B19 is a delicious, healthy snack. Try the berry parfait with the pomegranate fro-yo. Mmm...
Shayla SheltonAugust 9, 2014Don't go to Gold Coast, if you must send someone tall enough to see when they make them because they got order wrong twice and said I lied about my order while not giving anyone a receipt! Run-on sent
Sunday early am is a mob scene - get there well in advance
Better than O’Hare, but the security line was a bit of a nightmare.
Don't go to the right most line when they check your id and boarding pass (right before the security check). You'll be waiting for wheel chairs and it will take twice as long.
Summer JohnstonSeptember 23, 2011Southwest is pretty awesome. Cute flight attendants and you choose where to sit (and who to sit by)
There's a bank of something called "pay phones" between gates B10 and B12. Not sure what they're used for. Looks like something out of the future!
Its a 10min walk from the airport to the Cta Transit Trains sucks in the winter u have to walk with all your bag remember its $2.25 to ride exact amount no change provided and no public bathrooms
Southwest counters open at 3:30am. TSA PreCheck opens at 4:15am.- Best salad on the B concourse from the create your own salad shoppe. Cost about $10 worth it!
Give yourself extra time to get to and from the Economy Lot. They must only have one bus. The wait time is terrible.
FlightCenter.comJanuary 5, 2012TSA TIP #2 Have your boarding pass and photo ID out and in your hand to be verified by the TSA officers while in line.
Brook HarrisJune 7, 2013Check out Sprig, a great salad bar just past gate B14. Travel healthy for once!
Do Harry Caray's if on southwest and between terminals A&B.
If flying SWA, get there early. TSA moves fairly quick unless you have something to be inspected. Uh oh...
Just good for flying into and out of. Having TSA Pre Check is pointless after 8 PM.
Boys flying home today we had a great summer and they have a new baby sister.
Adam GillickNovember 12, 2012The bathroom stalls are pretty much the best in the country's airports. Luxury.
James PatrickMarch 3, 2012For the love of all that is holy, do not choose the center security line. You'll lose your sanity or miss your flight. Go left.
The SERVICE here is amazing thanks to MDW bartender, Deidre at Let them eat cake
Best city ever! Harry carrays does a heavy pour and gives you to go cups for your bloody mary
Use the water bottle refillers next to the water fountains. They're automatic and quite magical!
Katie WhitfieldNovember 27, 2012There are several good vegetarian options, including salads and falafel, in concourse B
Shaun RajahJuly 9, 2012If you want to pass by security fast, wear a pair of pink pants! Got me through real fast !
Forget your Southwest boarding pass?? Go to the CarryOn only line and print it, then head over to the Baggage Check In
Go to Reilly's Daughter for a beer. Be sure to grab a couple of Chicago dogs next door first.
Christine BAugust 7, 2011Great service at potbelly sandwich works - long line served very quickly - and it's a great sandwich!
Have a corned beef and potato pancakes at Manny's Express beside gate B14. Ask if they have applesauce for the pancakes!
Amanda MikoszOctober 4, 2011Southwest comfy chairs are perfect for sleeping on when you have a layover! Even as a business traveler!
Allison WOctober 31, 2011Can't leave Chicago without a Chicago Hot Dog. Try the Gold Coast Jumbo Char Dog!
Wow! Spent less than 10 minutes in the security line and on July 4th.
