1. No need to recheck luggage.
2. No need to reclear security.
Nonetheless, a very tight connection because a delay may mean that you misconnect and that means a 24-hour delay or an inconvenient rerouting, possibly in lousy seats.
If on two tickets, a delay may mean that you no show for your second ticket and, depending on its fare rules, may have to purchase a new ticket or at least pay significant penalties and also deal with a lousy reroute and so on.
Thanks. It is a single ticket with connection at SFO. The domestic and international terminal seems not far away?
It is going to happen in next 2 weeks. Given possible unpredictable winter weather in ORD, I think I better give myself longer connection time.
Meanwhile, on a side note: if it is separate tickets on UA, the ground staff can still check the luggage through right? Just that the consequence of the miss connection will be different?
