How long do you have to walk to get to the southwestterminal after you take a taxi/uber to Ohare at terminal 5? Do you have to change terminals or take the airport train around? We have luggages. I have only flown international flight from Terminal 5 before few times so I don't know even know how this works. Is there going to be a longer and more security checks because of southwest terminal being located at terminal 5 international?
If it is going to be inconvenient to fly southwest form Ohare, we will either look for flight on other airlines or book to fly from Midway airport. Pls let us know
T5 for all Southwest flights. No terminal changes.
Expect A longer walk than at MDW to gates from entry of terminal.
Security line depends on day of week and time of day (like MDW).
Your international experience on a different carrier is going to be very similar to your Southwest experience, except that you won't need a passport if your itinerary is domestic....same terminal and walking around same hallway.
