    Thank you for this excellent video tour of T5! I've used it three times, flying Delta. The Delta gates are a big improvement over the cramped and crowded gate areas in T2. The CTA station is under T2, so a ride on the ORD Transit train is necessary for passengers taking the Blue Line to and from Chicago. T5 is actually more convenient for connecting to Metra at the O'Hare Transfer station (but the Metra service is limited).

    • @sean2015
      @sean2015 Год назад +1

      But that's for the Metra trains. How often do those stop at O'Hare? I used to work in T5 and I was there when the ATS trains were down (2019-20), so we had to rely on shuttle buses to get us between the terminals, and those were a nightmare. There would only be one bus late at night and sometimes the driver would go on break and leave employees and passengers waiting 45 minutes to an hour.

    I flew through there in September 2024... Apparently with Delta now operating at this terminal, they opened an additional exit from the TSA checkpoint so now, not all passengers get directed through the food court and duty free shopping area. The signs haven't changed though. The signs still tell you to basically go left from clearing the checkpoint, and I started to follow it, then some airport employee said that Delta passengers could go to the right instead. (After I found my gate, I went back to the food court anyway because I had some time to kill)

    When the terminal opened, it had gates from M1 to M21. A friend who flies for American said that the cost of putting a plane into Terminal 5 varied, depending on how far the gate was from the center of the terminal. Because American has traditionally been frugal, the running joke among AA pilots was whether a flight would be assigned to M1 or M21. Either had the longest walk to immigration and customs.

    • @sean2015

      Right! That entire terminal is just so long and narrow and it just got even more so. If you were to walk from one end of the terminal to the other, right now it’s easily a mile if not more. I’ve done it myself.

    The problem with T-5 is that waiting area is far too small to handle the load before going through the gates. Not sure if that is being addressed as part of this expansion/renovation. ORD attracts people from different states since it's one of the few international hubs in the US. If you've a long layover at ORD good luck waiting until the gates are opened. My tip is to spend that time in the domestic terminal before transferring over.

  • @PaulieVavoom
    @PaulieVavoom Год назад +3

    Very good video, but I have to say that for the money that was spent, I think the design is poor. For one thing, compared to other airports, the corridors are still too narrow. Also, most of the building does not have two-way moving walkways, which means if you are connecting internationally on a tight schedule, you will have hightened stress levels as you are forced to run from one gate to another. There should be two-way moving walkways through the entire gated area of the building! Instead I see long, long narrow concourses that will be congested during peak travel days and require lots of running.

      The Global Terminal, which I suspect Chicagoans will still call Terminal 2, will be solely for United, American, and their alliance and other partners. So, BA, Lufthansa, SAS, Iberia, ANA, and JAL, among others, will be there.
      So, Terminal 5 will be for Air France, KLM, and any foreign carrier not aligned with Star and Oneworld.
      I suspect that Spirit and Frontier will eventually move to 5 from 3, because they aren't a part of any alliance, while Alaska (a Oneworld member) and Jet Blue (an AA partner) will stay in 3.

    No comparison to other countries airports. O’Hare is not the airport. It’s a dump. No trains go to other directions except it goes to Chicago. No where it goes to suburbs of north, south and west. Only one entrance to airport. When protest happened it blocked the road that crippled the entry to the terminal. It has many runways yet so many delays of flights. Other countries have two runways and very efficiently operated with minimal delays. Like London Heathrow and Dubai DBX. Dubai is third busiest after LhR.
