The gate checks going to baggage claim is a newer thing. They weren't doing that the last time I was there two years ago.

Are you going to one of the many Corky's or the Interstate?

Shuttle America, so BTS.gov is a no go. My plan was to check ACARS in a few days, but I rarely have any luck finding a hit there. :(

Sorry, what I posted was airport express shuttle; gotcha on the hotel shuttle.

The people who hate ORD are the people who connect through ORD (especially the ones who connect from F11-B22). Since it's my home airport, I'm probably a little biased, but it's not too bad.

* Security is usually pretty quick, even in non-elite lines (and in some cases, even faster). On Monday mornings, I can shoot for arriving in the parking garage at departure-60, get through security, grab a quick breakfast at McD's, and make it to my gate with time to spare before the boarding call.
* Because they're so busy, the TSA goons don't powertrip as much as at smaller airports.
* The new high-B RCC is nice.
* When I do need to check bags, they're typically pretty quick. I've had times where even landing in B concourse, my checked bag has made it to the carousel before I did.

What's not so good:
* Insufficient seating, especially in the UX gates and some of the 767 gate areas.
* Not enough food choices, especially in E/F
* How things go south in bad weather (although that's improved a lot with the new runways opening)

Did your route originate in the Northeast or Mid-Atlantic? If so, there's a very good chance it got recorded (the Mid-Atlantic ACARS nerds are religious in their fervor). The generic search box doesn't always work. Sometimes you have to open up the .txt file of ACARS logs for the entire day (huge), then do a CTRL-F search based on flight number or city pairs.

I could probably see it if I stood on a chair in the RCC, but I don't think that would go over well...
