Do I have enough time to get to O'Hare?
On Saturday (3/8) I have a 6pm flight to DCA on UA. I won't be getting out of my meetings in the loop until 3:30. Do I have enough time to get to O'Hare, check a bag and get through security?
(I have a Y ticket so I can switch flights but the next flight to DCA isn't until 9 and I don't want to sit around O'Hare for hours!)
(And I know I posted a similar question in the UA forum but have not received any responses so I'm trying this forum!)

After your meeting, do something fun downtown and leave for ORD around 7pm.
Everything you spend in the City is appreciated by Mayor RJD and his wasteful minions.

If leaving at 3:30 from downtown for a 6:00 ORD flight I would think you would be OK. I would not want to leave any later just in case there are traffic issues.
