I wish I'd known that there were food and shopping opportunities at the B gate area. This was a lovely, NOT busy place to spend time. I'd have gone directly there if I'd known. Definitely a nice place to wait.

Make sure to allow ample time between connecting flights. I have to hoof it when I realized that TSA required bags to be picked up and rechecked.

Have a light luggage as much as you can. Boarding gate walk is not a joke.

Gate 10 is a train wreck because there are multiple gates distinguished by a letter following A10. If possible get there as quickly as possible to find the appropriate gate.

Bring as few liquids as possible or put them in checked bag. They are very strict at Heathrow about all of them fitting into one small ziplock bag

KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from London to Chicago

  • As you’re booking flights from London to Chicago, you may notice that many of the more affordable flights have at least one stop. Non-stop travel between the two cities is limited, but non-stop flight deals can be found with Austrian Airlines and Finnair, especially if you book far enough in advance and compare prices here on KAYAK.co.uk.
  • Chicago has two main airports, but unless you’re making two stops you’ll most likely be flying into Chicago O’Hare Airport. O’Hare Airport lies 14 miles northwest of the city centre and is the third-busiest airport in the US. Lines for security at O’Hare can be long, so be sure to arrive early.

This train has a direct connection with the airport and connects to the Chicago metro and elevated train system, which can take you anywhere in the city. A single ride will cost you around $2.75 (£2.19).
  • If you’re traveling with children, O’Hare features a “Kids on the Fly” play area thanks to its partnership with the Chicago Children’s Museum. Your young ones can play on large aeroplane and helicopter models until your flight home or to your next destination departs. “Kids on the Fly” is located in the upper level of Terminal 2.
  • Feeling hungry before your flight? O’Hare offers travellers several airport restaurant options. Fill up before you take off with Chicago-style hot dogs, a wrap from a Mediterranean cafe, Chinese fried rice and a long list of other options. O’Hare’s restaurants are spread throughout the airport, so you’ll have plenty of options whether you’re in T1, T2 or T3.
