Will be out of terminal 5....which as I recall is pure hell almost a mile to the end from the exit. I’m guessing with this route structure it’ll be DEN and DAL crews mostly
I’d rather be at T5 then United’s C gates. T5 is closer to parking that’s in my budget, the road exit and new rental car facility. If you want the CTA Blue Line though it’s not as convenient.

I assume T5 is where the common gates. I see Spirit and Frontier are there also.

Limited growth opportunities in T5 unless
ifs a placeholder for the new terminal they are building, C is much better than the E tho ha. I doubt they will make ORD a crew base, I think this going to be done by DAL and DEN crews

Yup. Easiest 1 tfp ever if you don’t mind being busy. Prob cancel frequently during weather too since they can just bus people.

With all the construction at ORD and industry turmoil, there will very likely be future opportunities for gates.

You are reminding me of the Ozark milk can runs. Memphis to Minneapolis travel with 5 intermediate stops. One or two off, one or two on at each town. Flying the DC-9, the forerunner of the Mad Dog.

Those C gates have an airside bus that takes those United employees to their free parking lot.
