I'm arriving via AC at T2 gate E1 and will be flying (not connecting/separate ticket) out of T1 on UA. Do I need to go out through security and checkin at UA counters in T1, or can I use the inside-security walkway to T1 and checkin at the RCC?

Cheers.

Unfortunately you will have to go through security again in T1.

You CAN go between terminals 1 and 2 without leaving the secure area of the airport, and check in for your second flight at the gate (I did it Saturday).

Thanks dvdexter for the good news, the reported security lines at ORD had me concerned as I have a short time between flights.

Cheers.

Agreed, just stay to the left before the security check-in area in T2, then stay left again at the security check-in in T1

Are there moving sidewalks between T1 and T2?

No. It's not that far.

As your other friends here have stated, you can go between terminals. I find it to be a little confusing (maybe I am just a confused person - different thread I think!) - so if you start to see you are going through security (leaving a secure area) then stop and look around for the right way.

By the way, I have not found the security lines to be that bad at OHare.

I have never had to wait long for security lines at O'Hare.

The airside terminal connections are fairly simple if you know where to look. The way out of most mazes is to always turn left (or right - pick one direction and stick with it); it's the same at O'Hare. When you see a security area ahead, look to the left (or right) and there should be a route to the next terminal. This works both airside and landside.

You may want to check the date on the post referencing long lines...

Doesn't work landside, there is no connection between the terminals landside, only airside on the departure levels. Otherwise you gotta take the tram or walk outside.

FALSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coming from your AC flight, stick to the left, you will not have to go through security again. Always think left coming from T2

Uh, why are you contradicting a post you already contradicted last year? ;)

Please check dates, people.

because sometimes people don't read all the posts in a thread, hmmmmmmm just like I did. :eek:

Yes, you're right - that's what the tram was built for. Duh.

Yes, and the tram is *so* efficient when one needs to go from T2 to T1. :rolleyes:

Thanks for dredging up old posts!

Don't forget there's also now the shuttle bus from gate E3 (T2) to C9 (T1). If one's flight is leaving from the C Concourse that may be a preferable option, especially if short on connection time.
