The windy city has much to offer even if all you have is just a couple of hours at O'Hare. The one thing never to miss when you are in Chicago is the Deep Dish pizza. You can walk up to Reggio's at terminal 2 or Pizzeria Uno at terminals 2, 5, and 5. Reggio's opens 7 AM to 9 PM, and Uno is open 5:15 AM to 9:30 PM. The verdict is still divided on who has the best deep dish, so join the debate.

The duty free shopping experience at O'Hare is probably one of the best in the world. When budgeting your time for shopping, make sure that you add at least 50% more time! The range of products and choices for shopping are mind-boggling. There are duty free shops at terminals 1, 2, 3, and 5. If you are planning a trip to the duty free, stop by the ATMs at the ticketing area on your way in.

Travel in Chicago can be an exhausting activity. However, there is relief at hand at the O'Hare. If you have about a half-hour to spare, avail of the in-chair services at the Backrub Hub at terminal 3. In case you have a couple of hours, head to The Hilton Athletic Club at terminal 2 for a full work-out and treatment at the hands of certified massage therapists.

If you are one of those whose idea of fun is to work or spend time in cyberspace, head to Laptop Lane. Located at terminal 1, it has everything a traveling executive or for that matter, any net addict needs. For the families, there are family restrooms. The fighter plane display at terminal 2 will keep the kids entertained. So, next time you have a stopover at Chicago, take a break from getting bored waiting for your connection, and have some fun!
