It's not you, ORD Terminal 5 contains some of the worst airline lounges in the United States and arguably the world. In 2016 I was unfortunate enough to have two international trips from there (one KE and one QR) and my experiences at the AF and BA Lounges were really subpar. I try to avoid ORD T5 because of the bad lounges in fact.
