ORD security/access
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.

Last time I was there you could. But that was a couple of months ago.

Hi swebbIL and welcome to FlyerTalk!

Just a heads-up that we don't allow cross-posting of the same thread in multiple forums. I'm going to let this one stand for now as I'm sure you weren't aware of the rules.

Happy travels.

The answer is yes. It can be a long walk if you are starting/ending at a far AA gate.

You can walk from/to terminals 1, 2 and 3 at ORD after passing through security without needing to do so again.

Correct. The only thing you cannot do is get to/come from Terminal 5 (International) without reclearing security.

Yeah, T5 is in a separate building than the others. Terminals 1,2,and 3 share a building.
