We are flying domestic but coming in F concourse and flying out of either B or C. Anyone have an opinion about which of the lounges would be better?
Also, I am a newbie Club member and don't know what to expect. If we are there during a meal, is it OK to bring something in? I like to eat at the Rick Bayless Torta place, but would prefer not to spend time there if I'm going to go to the lounge anyway.
Are there other things I should know about what to expect and any details that experienced club members can share? I know that the main things the kids will be doing is checking e-mail and Facebook. My wife and I will just be looking for a quiet place to read and relax and perhaps have a glass of wine.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Happy Holiday traveling to all!
The guest policy for card holders is member + 2 guests. I don't know if they make exceptions for families traveling together.
Hopefully someone with experience with this will comment.
But if you can't bring all 3 in, you may need to buy a day pass online.
I agree with most of the other posters, the C16 club is the roomiest. The B18 club is next . The B6 club is OK. The F3 club is very small and always crowded. All of the clubs get crowded at peak times.
For eating at O'Hare and then going to one of the clubs, I'd recommend the B18 club. The adjacent area has really good restaurants close by.
Happy Holidays to you and your family. I hope you all have a nice relaxed trip through O'Hare.
