Consolidated "ORD Security - Questions & Suggestions" thread
Do I exit and re-enter security between United Express gates in 'F' and connecting mainline gates in 'B' concourse ?

ORD security question
Moderators: If this post is more appropriate for the UA forum - please redirect.
I was checking in at United for a very early AM flight and tried to use the new rebuilt security lines to the left of the UA checkin desks. On two different days I was told that this line was for employees only until after 6AM. Is this the official policy?

That is a pretty consistent message, and there is actually a logical rationale. The employee security screening point on the lower level was closed when the "new" one on the 1st level opened.

I'm liking that checkpoint... never been in line with more than three people in front of me and it has caused me to consistently use OLCI.
A small extra hike to C or the high numbers of B, but also convenient to the RCC.
I'm always amused when I pass the "elite" check in and see it backed up 30 or 40 deep.
But we'll just keep it our little secret here on FT, right?

ORD Security/Acess
Just about to head off to O'Hare tomorrow with family travelling from separate terminals (2 & 3) and wondering if you could still walk between the terminals freely after you pass through security?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes you can walk freely airside between Terminals 1,2, & 3 at ORD without reclearing security.
Terminal 5 (International Terminal) is completely seperate from Terminals 1-3 and you cannot walk to it airside and would need to reclear security.
