ORD T1, T2, T3 to T5 busing being looked at for connecting pax
There is a concept to bus a portion of connecting passengers from the domestic terminals to T5 airside in order to produce a more passenger friendly experience.
Currently only QR and BA bus their own connecting passengers from the end of the K concourse. This would replace that with a program being handled by the CDA for the entire airport.

eg, just thinking, UA/*A will think AA/OW should pay more since two *A partners (LH and ANA) have departures in T1, so their connections are mostly to SK, where BA and IB will be able to drop their existing services if the airport runs one instead.

Please please please can this happen. Twice this year I've had to take the train to T5, once from T2 and once from T3. The security checkpoint in T5 during the morning isn't too bad, but in the afternoon it's awful. Last month it took me a half hour to get from the check in counter to the lounge.

The drop off areas are tied with a specific T5 gate that gives ADA access.

TK, LO, OS, LX, and OZ also operate from T5, so there would be a fair number of *A passengers that would connect from a UA or AC flight to a *A flight leaving from T5.

Yeah, forgot that one.
So it'll be four destinations (HND, NRT, MUC, FRA) operated by LH/NH from T1, while it'll be nine destinations (VIE, TPE, IST, WAW, KRK, ZRH, ICN, ARN, CPH) operated by *A airlines from T5.
It appears that most traffic connecting from UA/AC flights to non-UA/AC *A flights would require a transfer to T5.
