Can you get from Terminal 3 to Terminal 5 at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport without going outside?
FlightsGayle84 asked:
My arrive time to Chicago was just moved to an hour before my departure time to Ireland. I have to make it from Terminal 3 to Terminal 5 in time for my flight. Is this doable?
I’m flying into Chicago with American Airlines and out with Aer Lingus.

Your flight to Dublin is Air Lingus 124 or American 92 ?
Air Lingus departs from terminal 5.
One hour connecting time is too short !
You have to check-in at Air Lingus
and have to go through the security.
If American Airlines, the Int’l flight leaves at same terminal.
You have enough time !

I’m 99% sure you’ll have to go outside but it is very simple.
In front of Terminal 3 the airport shuttle will come and just jump on and it will drop you off at 5. Takes 3 minutes.

Use the airport shuttle,it can take you to Terminal 5.

technically you don’t need to go outside but the shuttle everyone is referring to is probably the train system. You cam access the elevators to the walkway to the train stations from the departures level (don’t go to baggage claim). The trains run every couple minutes but I think 1 hour is completely NOT do-able. it would seem you domestic and international ticket were not done together but call American and get on an earlier flight, if you are delayed even a little you will likely miss your flight and even if you aren’t depending on how crowded the airport is, what gate you come in with american in terminal 3 and the secuirty lines - even if you are on time you are pushing it. If your ticket was done all together, they never should have done this, ask them to change it.
