Departing from O'Hare International Airport: before you fly
Finding your departure terminal is the first step. Here is what to plan for at O'Hare International Airport from the moment you arrive to catch your flight.
- Check-in and bag drop — arrive early (typically two hours before short-haul flights, three before long-haul). Desks are in the departures hall of your airline's terminal, and bag drop usually closes 45–60 minutes before departure.
- Security screening — after check-in, head through security. Have liquids and electronics ready to place in trays, and allow extra time at busy periods.
- Passport control — for international departures you pass border control after security, before reaching the departure gates.
- Gates and boarding — check the screens for your gate (it may be a walk or a shuttle ride away) and your boarding time. Boarding typically starts 30–45 minutes before departure and gates close early.
