2 friends and myself will be flying into and meeting at O’Hare next week. Any ideas for the best place to meet after we have gathered our luggage? We do plan to take to train from the airport into the city afterwards. Where do we go to get that train?
Thank you in advance for your help.
ETA: We are coming from 3 different cities and most likely will be arriving at different terminals.

Are you all on the same airline? If you all arrive at the same terminal I would suggest just picking a door number in baggage claim to meet at. The doors are like 1A, 1B, 2A, 2C, etc with the number being the terminal number. I think the letters go up to at least G or H.

I'd meet at the baggage claim. First person to get there should find a good spot and then text the others where to find them. There will be signs for the train--probably will say Ground Transportation until you get close, then will separate it out by train, car rentals, long term parking, short term parking, busses, Rider Apps, etc.

I met three girlfriends at O'Hare a few years ago. We were coming in from 3 different directions and met up as we arrived. I arrived first and waited at the arrival gate for 2 coming in next (on the same flight). I only had carry-on and waiting near the gates is much nicer than waiting at baggage claim if there is a lot of time between your arrivals. The 3 of us then went to the arrival/baggage claim area at another terminal to wait for the 4th friend. We took a cab into the city so no advice on trains but when we have trained into a city, signage has always been easy to follow and I'll usually look at the terminal map online before the flight to get a general idea where we are going.  |

Use your phones. Send texts when you land.
The first to get their luggage go to the second’s luggage pick-up (hopefully not far). There is a hotel just outside of the baggage pick up area. I don’t recall the name but you could also meet there.
