Thanks for this info !!!


2) How long are your connections in ORD and LHR? Personally I would risk it if they are long enough (more than 2-2.5 hours), but spread your things between your bags (i.e. don't put all of your stuff in one and all your wife's in another, etc), and keep some important things in your hand baggage. That way if one bag goes astray, it's inconvenient rather than disastrous.
