Nah I’d just chill in the lounge and get drunk.

O'Hare is one of the few airports in the country that legally allows drinking anywhere in the airport. It's great to get drinks to-go from one of the bars and then wander around to find cool stuff. It's my favorite layover airport

Depends on the time of day.

1130 to 1630. Usually just get blitzed in the lounge but interested if there’s something worth doing otherwise haha

At that time of day you could probably get downtown in 30 mins. I don’t like to be rushed so I’d stay but there should not be bad traffic when OP goes to and from the airport

You can go to the premium outlet in Rosemont apart from that I wouldn’t recommend leaving as traffic in and out of the airport nowadays is not that great

Yup casino is good too

Great responses all, thanks! Looks like the AA Flagship lounge is closed at ORD right now which is why I’m asking too.

Flagship is closed, but admirals club is open

Hello all, i have. A question regarding compensation for a lateral move. I just received a job offer for an UA position from a competing cyber insurance carrier for $70,000 + bonuses.

Do you continue to see in-flight interview processes through once you’ve received and accepted an offer?

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem.

Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land. I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?
