For me on a trip right now, I have:
2h drive to ORD
2h airport security Theater
4h Flight to SFO
1h to deplane get an Uber to someplace
So 9 hour total journey on a direct flight. A 50% faster flight would make it be 8 hours instead of 9? I don't think I would pay anything for that.
- thecopy 8y ago2h airport security? In Zürich im usually done in 10 or 15 minutes...
- aidenn0 8y agoMy experience at ORD is that it's usually done in under 45 minutes, but takes longer often enough for me to budget ~90 minutes for security to be confident of making my flight.
- ashildr 8y agoThen you aren’t properly groped for freedom.
- brianwawok 8y agoWell, parking to at my gate. If you park at the airport - It's about a 20-30 minute journey from parking lot to the front door of the airport. If parking offsite it can even be longer. Then going through TSA, even with pre-check, can be from 20-60 minutes. 20 minutes is about the minimum time, just due to how BIG the airport is. You can end up having to walk a mile door to gate. I can run a mile pretty fast, but that is generally frowned upon. And if you need to somehow deal with an agent for checking bags or anything else? That can easily be another 30 minutes down the crapper.
- jsjohnst 8y agoI was in ORD a week ago and went from my hotel (Hilton, connected to the airport) to my gate in under 15m. I think my time going through security was around 45s, give or take. Anecdata caveats apply.
