I'll probably go ahead and ticket this anyway since I was lucky enough to get the two CX J seats, but we'd sure as heck rather not spend 10h at ORD on our way home. Other option would be if the later CX flight to ORD opens up, but it's F0C0 right now (awards-wise).

I'd book it, keep monitoring the earlier flight for F availability (free change if it opens up), and if not, attempt to standby at ORD.

Or have a free day to explore Chicago.
