Chicago Airport
We arrive in Chicago from Toronto on Air Canada and have a 45 minute layover before leaving on a domestic flight. Is that possible? Won't we have to go through customs?

You will go through US Customs in Toronto. You will arrive in Chicago at a domestic terminal, so unless you have to change terminals you should be fine. If you do have to change terminals, hit the ground running because you will need to clear security at the second terminal.

From the Toronto airport website:
"For the majority of U.S. flights, guests leaving Toronto will go through U.S. Customs in Toronto, which allows you to arrive in the United States as a domestic passenger."
However, I'm never sure with north Americans whether "customs" means "customs" as in baggage, or "customs" as in what everyone else calls immigration and passport control, or both.
Your other post has you flying Boise-San Francisco-Toronto apparently as part of a Boise-Athens routing. Are you just changing planes in Toronto?

Yes, my flights got completely changed on us. We fly Boise, San Francisco (yes, the wrong direction), Toronto, Athens. Then Athens, Toronto, Chicago, and Boise.
Toronto is just to change planes.
It looks like Air Canada lands in Chicago at terminal 2 and United Express leaves from terminal 1. Do you know if we need to go through security between those?

If your flights got changed you don't have to accept the new routing. Make them come up with something better.

If you manage to get your flights changed, you can connect airside between T2 and T1 at O'Hare. It's about a 10-15 minute walk depending exactly which gates are involved. United also operates a shuttle between gates E3 and C9, but the attendant sometimes advises that it may be faster to walk than wait if the line is long. Here's a map: http://www.united.com/web/en-US/cont.../maps/ord.aspx

Is there still security to go through at another point? I was really surprised when I flew through Newark (yeesh) and had to go through security twice between flights.
I hope that isn't the case at O'Hare...haven't been through there in ages!
