British Airways is celebrating its 70th anniversary in Chicago with some important changes. The airline will now be departing from Terminal 3 at O'Hare Airport, providing passengers with more convenience and smoother connections. Additionally, British Airways is adding a third daily flight from Chicago to London, offering more travel options.

Moving to Terminal 3 allows British Airways to work more closely with American Airlines and use their premium lounges, such as the Flagship® Lounge and Admirals Club®. Passengers will also appreciate easier transfers thanks to the proximity to other oneworld alliance partners. However, keep in mind that British Airways arrivals will still be at Terminal 5, so make sure to check your tickets.

The launch of the third daily flight between Chicago and London is great news for those who frequently fly across the Atlantic. It provides more scheduling options and could lead to lower ticket prices due to increased competition. This extra flight highlights British Airways' commitment to the Chicago market, where the airline has been operating for 70 years.

These changes are likely to make travel from Chicago more convenient for passengers. With the addition of the new flight and the move to Terminal 3, British Airways aims to make transfers smoother and offer a more enjoyable travel experience. Keep an eye out for new flights and other improvements that may be coming in the next few months.
