Overview

The British Airways Lounge at Chicago O’Hare International Airport is one of the airline’s poorest facilities.

Small, cramped, poorly maintained, often dirty, the club does not meet any international business class standards. The staff’s poor attitude is a fine match for this neglected lounge.

Hands down the worst lounge I have ever been in!
How BA haven’t been shamed into updating I have no idea – just dreadful.

BA – this lounge is an insult to your customers. There is nothing remotely first class about it. No power points. Not enough seating. A miserable place to wait for an aircraft.

Worst lounge I have ever been in. I have used this a few times now and constantly find it poor. Poor seating, poor selection of foods and aweful selection of drinks, no Diet Coke or any sandwiches on my most recent visit.

This lounge provides for a very poor customer experience

Worn and torn. Not a charging port or plug to be found. Other than food and drink that is fee but very basic, this going is not worth it.
