The following airlines operate direct flights on the route Charlotte — Chicago:
Charlotte Douglas International (CLT) is the city’s main international hub and a major American Airlines focal point, so you’ll commonly find a strong mix of domestic and connecting international flights. Fares can be competitive on legacy carriers and variable with low-cost entrants; prices often depend on routing and timing. The airport sits about 6 miles (10 km) west of downtown Charlotte; taxi or rideshares typically take 15–25 minutes and can cost roughly $15–35, while the CATS bus and express shuttles may take 25–40 minutes for lower fares. CLT offers plentiful dining and lounges and generally smooth connections, though peak periods can mean longer security lines and busy road access.
O'Hare International Airport (ORD) is Chicago's primary international hub and a major transfer point for full-service carriers as well as several global airlines; it typically handles the bulk of long-haul and transcontinental flights. Located about 17 miles northwest of downtown, travel into the Loop can take roughly 30–60 minutes by car depending on traffic, or about 45 minutes via the CTA Blue Line; rideshare and taxi fares generally range from moderate to higher depending on time of day and tolls. Pros: extensive route network, many amenities and frequent ground-transit options. Cons: can be busy and spread out, so connections and transfers may require extra time.
