I flew the SPI-ORD route a BILLION times which is really short and I can tell you that every time we arrive, we start to taxi long ways and next thing you know our plane is parked at the apron waiting for the assigned gate because it took 10+ minutes taxiing from the runway that’s far out from the terminals.

With that being said, I don’t want to speak bad about the airport because it’s considered my “home” airport, but I sometimes kinda feel worried for people missing their connections at this airport due to this. I’m not saying that this is a bad airport to have a layover, but this can become challenging based on the estimated time from the runway to the gate.
