Abu Dhabi International (AUH) is the emirate’s main international gateway and usually serves as a hub for full-service carriers, notably Etihad Airways, alongside a mix of regional and long-haul airlines. The airport sits roughly 30–40 km from Abu Dhabi city centre, with taxi transfers typically taking about 25–45 minutes depending on traffic; fares can commonly be found in a mid-range bracket. There is also an express bus service connecting central locations in about 40–60 minutes for a lower cost. AUH generally offers modern amenities and good international connections, though travellers on a budget may prefer arranging shuttle or public bus options to reduce costs.
Chicago is served primarily by two major airports with distinct roles. O'Hare International (ORD) is the city's main international and connecting hub, typically hosting large legacy carriers like United and American alongside many global airlines; it can be busier and pricier for some routes but offers extensive long-haul and premium options. Downtown is about 17–20 miles away; travelers often use the CTA Blue Line (roughly 45–60 minutes, low fare), airport shuttles, taxis or rideshares (30–60 minutes, variable cost). Pros: wide route choice and frequent departures; cons: busy terminals and occasional long transfer times. Midway (MDW) functions as a more domestic- and low-cost-focused airport, commonly served by Spirit, Southwest and other budget-friendly carriers. It sits about 10–12 miles from the Loop and is well connected by the CTA Orange Line (25–35 minutes, low fare), local buses, taxis or rideshares (20–40 minutes, variable cost). Pros: generally quicker check-ins and closer proximity to downtown; cons: fewer international connections and sometimes tighter facilities.
