Drop Off and Pick Up
Drop Off Options
Curb Front
Departing passengers can be dropped off curbside at any O'Hare terminal. As you enter O'Hare there are signs letting you know which terminal each airline is in. You just have to follow the signs for Salidas that lead to the upper level road. From there, you can drop the passenger off at the terminal where the relevant airline is located.
Kiss 'n' Fly
Kiss 'n' Fly represents a convenient way for passengers to avoid the congested highways surrounding the airport area. The Kiss 'n' Fly drop-off point provides direct access to the airport transit system, as well as the free airport shuttle bus service, which serves as rapid passenger transport to all O'Hare terminals.
