Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) is the Netherlands’ primary international hub, serving legacy carriers like KLM alongside many full-service and low-cost airlines; it typically feels efficient and well connected rather than budget-focused. Located about 15–20 km southwest of Amsterdam city centre, the train is the fastest option—regular services reach Centraal Station in roughly 15–20 minutes with fares often in the low-to-mid single digits (EUR). Taxis and rideshares take about 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and cost more, while buses and airport shuttles offer cheaper, slightly slower links. Pros: extensive facilities, frequent connections, and easy rail access. Cons: can be busy at peak times and prices on-site may trend higher.
Chicago is served by two main airports with distinct roles. O’Hare International (ORD) is the city’s primary international and connecting hub, used extensively by legacy carriers and global alliances; it typically offers the widest choice of long‑haul and premium flights and can be pricier on average. O’Hare sits about 17–20 miles northwest of downtown, with transit options including the CTA Blue Line (about 45–60 minutes, low fares), airport shuttles and taxis or rideshares (30–60 minutes depending on traffic, fares vary). Pros: many nonstop options and frequent services; cons: can be busy and involve longer transfers. Midway (MDW) is Chicago’s smaller, budget‑friendly airport focused on domestic and leisure routes, favored by low‑cost carriers. It lies roughly 10 miles southwest of the Loop, reachable by CTA Orange Line (about 25–40 minutes, low fare), shuttle buses, taxis and rideshares (20–40 minutes). Pros: more compact terminals and often quicker processing; cons: fewer international or premium connections and fewer airline choices.
