*A lounge at ORD
 

hi,

I was just wondering which is the best *A lounge at ORD? It seems like there's a bunch of RCC lounges, which one is the best to use?

I'm doing CPH-ORD-SFO tomorrow with a 2.5 hrs layover in ORD.

also, do I have to pay for internet in the lounges?

I'm *A gold (AC Elite) btw.

thanks in advance

I prefer the lounge on the C side: Larger and has views of the tarmac. There are two on the B side. Avoid the smaller "TED" RCC near gate B19 - it has no bathroom.
None of them are anything spectacular, especially if you're used to Maple Leaf Lounges - just use whichever one is closest to your SFO flight.

And, yes, you have to pay for internet (and drinks for that matter).

o man... pay for internet AND drinks... lol. what is the point of the lounge?

they have soft drinks and stuff at least right?

I should be departing from C, so it should be good.

how about the SAS Lounge in Terminal 5? would I be able to have access to that since I'm arriving with SAS from CPH...

If you are departing on international flight, ask for a drink cert - as for internet, yes, there's a fee.

Safe travels!

No. You will be directed from the plane to C&I, and then landside, with no opportunity to use the SAS lounge.

FWIW, ORD concourse has Boingo and the RCCs have T-Mobile.

thanks very much everyone :)

Sending this one over to the *Alliance forum for more comments.

Yeah, no worries, they do have soft drinks and packaged snacks, which is pretty much only chips and stuff like that. Sometimes they have cheese out in the afternoon. You can buy alcoholic drinks for $5ish.
