And if you arrive to ORD late, I would head straight to the Flagship Lounge to get rebooked.
Thanks for the great advice. So since I booked with AA they would have to re-book me if it goes south? I'm hopeful, and honestly should have paid better attention as I typically don't connect through ORD. It was only later I realized the time it took me previously because there was some issue with the bus and I had to take the long way round. Cheers!
