ORD Security Question

Hey all,
My girlfriend is coming into town (Chicago) next weekend. We're both traveling out of ORD on Monday. She on Spirit and I'll be on United. At ORD, Spirit is in T3, UA in T1. If I have my AA Gold card with me, can I get us both through the AA Priority Access line? (Yes, I realize how absurd this sounds!)

It's very possible that they'll inspect your boarding pass as you show your card and they'll refuse you access to the priority line.

Honestly, given the amount of walking you'll do to your gates from the AA checkpoint, would you actually save time?

+1.

I often find the security line at T2 to be quite short and then it is easy enough to head to T1/T3.

If you look on ORD map, you could be literally on the opposite end of the terminal complex. NK departs from the "L" concourse and god forbid if you're departing out of the "C" concourse.

Look at your departure times and then decide if you want to go your own ways at checkin.
