There is a very nice lounge with great staff at ORD.

Marco Polo,

The Admirals Club at ORD is located at Terminal 3, in the crosswalk between Gates H6 and K6. Inside the security check point. It does exist - I've been there.

There is also a Flagship Lounge at ORD if you were on a first class ticket.

Plus, "you drove up from Lake Palcid early that day" - I assume you mean Lake Placid, New York (there is also a Lake Placid, Florida that I know of but I don't think you drove up from there). Lake Placid to Chicago is almost 800 miles, a good 15 hours at best at 60+ mph with no stops except for gas. Are you sure you aren't confusing Chicago O'Hare(ORD) with another airport?
If there is a Lake Placid, Illinois that I don't know about just disregard my question.

So how was the burger king?

There is Admirals Club at ORD and there is also the Flagship Lounge. AC is pretty huge but the staff are friendly and helpful.

Are you sure you are not confusing ORD (Chicago) with Orlando, FL? A drive from Lake Placid, FL to Orlando, FL makes a lot more sense than the one from New York to Chicago.

I think you may have have solved the mystery of the vanishing admirals club.
Good detective work.

Orlando is MCO. (The airport's full name is McCoy Orlando International Airport.)

Out of interest, why is Chicago called ORD? It has no "R" or "D" in its name (Chicago O'Hare).

i always wonder about that too, ORD, out of nowhere http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

ORD-Orchard Field (previous name for O'Hare)

Thanks Tedhl!! It's good to learn something new!

United's main hub is ORD. Abbreviated from Often Regularly Delayed. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

And to join the masses, yes I can vouch there is an Admirals' Club there too. Anything has to beat the RCC. Even McDonalds! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif
