The airport is alright. However, Southwest is exceptional. They go above and beyond (pun intended).

Celll phone lot at 6101 Cicero is groovy. Beats getting kicked out by security.
Megan WaresNovember 4, 2011

The moving walkway is not a ride. Please keep walking or politely step to the side. :)

Listen to the public service announcement. The accent tells you you're in Chicago

The ticketing line for Southwest always seems to be significantly longer and slower than the others.

LOOONNNGGG lines for security from 4-7 during the week. Beware of gum-cracking sorority sisters who don't know when to shut up in the adjacent line.

Arrive WAY early if you don't have TSA Pre check. The line at 7am looked like it would take over an hour (?). TSApre took like 10 minutes.

Please don't wander slowly in large groups while taking up the whole walkway.

So much easier to get in and out of than o'hare

Avoid the bathroom lines by using the facilities inside the food court. They are in the back overlooking the tarmac. Between Reilly's Daughter and King Wah

If your gate is A4a or A4b don't wait until the last minute to get there from the main building. It is quite a walk.

At security, choose a middle line. They go 3x faster than edges where TSA spends half time checking, half time herding people..
