Lounge is small, but has some decent snacks. It gets very full before the LX flight. When I was last there (May), the newspaper selection was minimal. WLAN throught T-Mobile at a charge.
Would not get there earlier just for the lounge.

I second that, don't go there earlier just for the lounge! My last visit to the ORD lounge was in Mid-August and it was extremly crowded and noisy. The newspaper section was very disappointing but the drink and snack offer had improved since my last visit a few months earlier this year.

I was just there a week ago.
coming very early from a connection, I had to wait until check-in opens at 2.30p only, so beware. also at that time the security lines are massive, much better later before the LX flight, said the lounge warden and i saw myself.
LX lounge small, but ok. nice staff and some good sandwiches. decent drinks.
if you are *G, you may want to try the SK lounge. free wifi, and roomier. plus a smokers room if you care.

The LX/Swissport lounge is dated and nothing to write home about. Skip it and go directly to the SAS lounge near M15. Mucho better.!

Chicago Lounge Options?
Hi All. I will be flying ORD-ZRH in F soon and wondered what the lounge options are? I know there is a SWISS lounge but understand it is not great? Even so, does this have a seperate F section like JFK does? Any advice on alternatives would be appreciated. Thank you.

Yes the LX lounge has a separate F section. For lounge details and comparison in T5, do a search in the *A forum and the M&M forum for 'chicago lounge'

and found some information. It would never have even dawned on me to check LH M&M forum or *A, but there you go.

I believe you may also utilize the SK Business lounge in the same terminal, but I've never been there and can't say much about it.
Anyone care to compare the small F section of the LX lounge to the SK Business lounge in ORD?
Also, are there really any pronounced differences between the C and F sections of the LX lounge?

And all in all, am I sensing a consensus that the SK business lounge in ORD is in general preferable to LX lounge, regardless of F or C?
