Flights from Chicago to Seattle: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Chicago to Seattle 
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska AirlinesORD-SEAJun 2024
It was my first time flying with Alaska and I was delayed 3.5 hours. Might reconsider using Alaska in the future.
PaulFlew with Alaska AirlinesORD-SEAApr 2024
The flight is long, at over four hours. I would try to get a window or aisle seat to be more comfortable. I would check with other airlines that allow you to choose your seat even if you are in the economy section. I would bring your own food on the plane as the service was sometimes sketchy.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska AirlinesORD-SEAApr 2024
If you miss your flight ask any alaska agent to how and where to rebook the flight.
SeanFlew with Alaska AirlinesORD-SEAJan 2024
Signage for hotel shuttles at O’Hare is poor. Restrooms were surprisingly clean. In winter especially, there are going to be delays.
