Hub To Hub | ORD to/from DEN | ORD to/from IAH

Here are possible connecting cities to get between the United Airlines (UA) hubs of Chicago-O’Hare, IL (ORD) and Denver, CO (DEN), that do not involve another hub.

Use the Flight Schedule and enter the airport code in the Via field to see what flight connections take you via these cities. If none are automatically generated, then do the segments manually and see what flights connects; e.g. ORD to MCI and then MCI to DEN. You may not see an automatic connection due to the minimum connect time for that particular airport; but know that you may still be able to make the flight if you are early and/or the other flight is delayed.

In addition, some of these options may not operate daily or may be seasonal. Oh and don’t rule out connections via other countries such as Mexico and Canada, but do bear in mind that you may be charged a departure tax and also additional government taxes. And my have to pass through Immigration and Customs, so a visa may be required:
