@DonaldMReif @ByERussell @SouthwestAir @fly2ohare @Dulles_Airport WN has had 3 of their own “preferential use” gates at ORD since October 2025, no longer on common use gates.

@Faazzla @NBAonNBC @paulsen_smw @WorldWideWob I like this short version too

[Jacob @jmmccarthy2002]

@KerrPoints It can often be very glitchy, have you tried doing it via check in on the website?

[Jacob @jmmccarthy2002]

@JTGenter @DublinAirport Yeah the old T2 lounge was refurbished and renamed a few months ago, I don’t know why they issued a press release now…

[Jacob @jmmccarthy2002]

@LiveandLetsFly @Delta None are amazing. E and F have slightly better food compared to the rest. If I don't want to go all the way there, I tend to use the A centerpoint club (the one hidden by the PF Changs) as it doesn't seem to get overly crowded.

[Jacob @jmmccarthy2002]

@CaptBob_Nomadic At least it's finally being replaced with a 1-2-1 staggered config. Hardly industry leading, but an improvement...

[Jacob @jmmccarthy2002]

@garyleff ORD is Bags, Inc. now

[Jacob @jmmccarthy2002]

@AirlineFlyer @Clear Touchless ID / Digital ID with UA/DL is the best process, super smooth.

[Jacob @jmmccarthy2002]

@AirlineFlyer @Clear The current Clear process just has so many friction points. What I've observed: A boarding pass scan from a handheld scanner from a Clear employee (Don't know if this is everywhere?), Clear Kiosk Biometrics + Boarding Pass Scan, Scan or show your boarding pass again to TSA agent

[Jacob @jmmccarthy2002]

@EconomyBeyond Even ignoring the lounge, it’s not hard to be better than the T5 experience between the often overcrowded check in hall and long security lines in T5.

[Jacob @jmmccarthy2002]

@EconomyBeyond Flying BA back out of ORD? (Now in T3…)

[Jacob @jmmccarthy2002]

Very disappointing that AA90, ORD’s only daytime eastbound transatlantic flight will not be returning Summer 2025

[Ishrion Aviation @IshrionA]

American Airlines long-haul updates for Summer 2025:

• Decrease ORD-LHR from 4x to 3x daily. The daytime flight will not return next summer. Last daytime ORD -> LHR on October 25.

• CLT-LHR 777-300ER flights extended into next summer

• PHL-BCN upgauged from 787-8 to 787-9 while PHL-CPH downgauged from 787-9 to 787-8

[Jacob @jmmccarthy2002]

@slucy This has been an issue for so long with @VentraChicago that no one seems to want to fix. Won't take international phone numbers or international billing addresses. @Metra needs to get this fixed when they expect the main way for people to pay is Ventra...

[Jacob @jmmccarthy2002]

@SnazzyLabs Delta does still fly some planes with ancient resistive screens. The ones with the white bezels. I assume this isn't one of those planes though.

[Jacob @jmmccarthy2002]

@_ZachGriff You may be able to find the space through Etihad’s website? Last time I checked I had trouble entering certain airport codes into the search, they just didn’t come up. Was able to get around that by manually editing the airport codes in the result URL

[Jacob @jmmccarthy2002]

@_ZachGriff It’s down according to Virgin’s own website

[Jacob @jmmccarthy2002]

@jonk Yes the digital signage looks excellent. Also it looks like all the airlines are using the same kiosks? Are they owned by the airport?

[Jacob @jmmccarthy2002]

@StarLineChicago Also the older LED screens that I swear used to show countdown info never seem to anymore.

[Jacob @jmmccarthy2002]

@sdw @SnazzyLabs @ianzelbo Main downsides of Nexus are the much more limited interview centers and longer processing times. Nexus is actually half the cost of GE, though prices become aligned with GE later this year.

[Jacob @jmmccarthy2002]

@jonk It’s on FR24 as VOII1872. Seems like someone made a typo?
