Traveller Comments....
"I walked up and down the entire area and couldn't find one place to charge my phone. I ended up in the bathroom charging my phone for an hour - At least it was a little bit warmer in there, and clean!" - sheepishdog
"I believe it would be easier to sleep in the engine of a plane than to sleep in this place." - Derek Blice
"Great Airport. Now should be included in top ten airports! " - ?
"My flight got canceled and I had to spend the night at the airport. That's how most O'Hare stories begin." - hozomeen

Not much food before security. Eating is in International food court. There are carts everywhere. Love the plastic wrapped toilet seats. You wave your hand over it and it automatically revolves itself. Watch your phone as its being charged. A nicely dressed woman came rushing through and a man right after her yelling She took my phone. I wish I had thrown all my change in front of her as she ran down the escalator-to get the crowds attention downstairs. Good thing there is police there. Pay wifi. The Hiltons is secured and is pay now. Check your email before you get there. The biggest crowd you've ever seen in your life standing in line for tsa. THE SUBWAY MACHINES DO NOT GIVE CHANGE. Do not put in a 20 expecting change. They said this is a big problem at this airport. A girl did that so I bought it from her for 20 so she could be on her way then a McDonalds Terminal 3 employee bought it from me, Guadeloupe, thank you so much, you are awesome!
Check out the pay your IRS/moving violation/arrest warrant machine by the subway. Notice it doesn't take pennies.
