Hudson
Finding it
Hudson is in Pre-Security Arrivals in Terminal 5 at O'Hare International Airport. It sits landside, so you can reach it without a boarding pass — and you still have to clear security afterwards.

Hours against the security queue
Across the week, ORD security runs longest around 4am at a median of 27 minutes, and lightest around 2am at 1 minute.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's ORD wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
This Hudson sits on Terminal 5's arrivals level, reached by travelers heading out through baggage claim rather than by anyone still airside at a gate. It runs 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., open through the terminal's later arriving flights but shut before the first landings of the day. Terminal 5 has three other Hudson storefronts, all past security on Concourse M; this is the only one reachable without a boarding pass, covering the arrival banks landside rather than the gate traffic the other three serve.
One of 4 Hudson locations at O'Hare International Airport.
Other options in Terminal 5
All landside, so you can reach any of these before security.
