It is possible that passengers arrive in ORD and overnight before heading elsewhere, in which case the are counted as ORD.
As the only Star Alliance lounge in ORD T5 (I use the Air NZ service) I wonder how the lounge merry go round will resolve. The SK lounge in ORD is very ordinary but serviceable.
Out of curiosity, how did you acquire these numbers?
Moreover,
1) Are these numbers for ARN-ORD, CPH-ORD, or both?
2) What time period are they from?
The reason why these questions are relevant, is that the current CPH-ORD flight arrives at 18:05. If we presume that the minimum connection time from an international flight is two hours, it's quite obvious that the possibilities of same-day connections is very limited. The ARN-ORD flight, on the other hand, used to arrive shortly after noon, so I would presume that this flight had more connecting passengers than CPH-ORD.
