This is combined with terminal 5 at ORD offering almost non existent shopping and amenities.

now I am in the F lounge in ZHR waiting for the MXP connection and it is a totally different world!

What are the food/drink options in the ORD LX lounge...is it better than remaining in the Red Carpet Club after arriving from a connection? Is there free wifi in the LX lounge? How far is it from the bmi gate? I will be accessing the LX lounge on a Priority Pass card, and I think this is the only option in that terminal.

Hi Liebi
Welcome to Flyertalk! The LX lounge in ORD is nothing special unfortunately. You can't compare it to what you are used to in ZRH.
The LX lounge is divided into a C and F section. The advantage of the F section seems to be the space. The C section tends to get very crowded and the food and beverage options is noting special. Last time I had a hard time to find an empty seat in there.
I haven't visited the F lounge yet, but AFAIK pax can find at least an empty seat in there whereas the food and beverage options are mediocre as well.
The gate to the LX flight is normally very close to the lounge.
