Terminal Navigation
O'Hare's international flights depart from Terminal 5, while American Airlines operates its international business class check-in from Terminal 3 with a dedicated Flagship Check-In desk for premium passengers. Travelers connecting between terminals use the free Airport Transit System train, which runs 24 hours and connects all terminals airside.
Ground Transport
The CTA Blue Line train runs directly from O'Hare to downtown Chicago in roughly 45 minutes for under $6, making it the fastest and most cost-effective option compared to taxis, which typically run $45–$65 and 30–60 minutes depending on traffic.
"American Airlines Flagship Lounge access in Terminal 3 is available to eligible passengers flying international business class on oneworld partners, so Air France, Finnair, and Iberia business class travelers should request entry there rather than settling for a smaller partner lounge in Terminal 5."
