Changing terminals at ORD?
 
I'm looking at United flights going from SYR to YVR.
We would have to change terminals. Fly to ORD on Canadair operated by United Express and change to United. Same thing coming back.
Is this going to be complicated to change terminals?

SYR-ORD usually arrives at Terminal 2. ORD-YVR will depart Terminal 1. The two are connected. Just walk over. You shouldn't have to go through security.

Coming back, the reverse.

It's very simple, not complicated. Tonnes to UA customers switch between UA and UE every day.

BTW, I checked today's gate info. One of the SYR-ORD is scheduled to use Teminal 1. So nothing is set, and you may even have a shorter walk.

Oh, there's also a bus between Terminal 1, Concourse C and Terminal 2, on the airside. That may save you quite a bit of walk.

Thanks rkkwan! You are the best!
The connection for some of the flights is under an hour..50 some mins. Can we walk it in time or need the bus? We are able bodied and can walk at a good pace! It looks so spread out on the airport map.

katybird - I've not used Terminal 2, so I can't tell you specifics about that bus shuttle. Hopefully, someone here can answer you that, or try do a search (or ask) over at the UA board on Flyertalk.com .

From what I'm looking, if your Terminal 1 flight is at Concourse B, then absolutely no reason to use that bus - the walk between the two terminals is pretty short. But to/from Councourse C, then probably.
