At the end of the month I will be flying ORD-DEN on UA just for a weekend of skiing.
I will have my skis and a large duffel bag (my ski boots will be in it). I usually take the "L" to ORD, but not with skis. (By the way, I did take skis on the "L" once...bad idea).
So, since its just a weekend, I'm going to drive and park in the long-term parking.
The question: can I pull up to the departures, check my two bags with a Skycap, and then drive away to the parking lot? Any security restrictions with this? What if I'm selected for random screening?
I don't want to shlep my skis and big bag on the train from the parking lot if possible.
Thanks for your help.
