Chicago is served primarily by two major airports: O’Hare International (ORD) and Midway (MDW). O’Hare functions as a large international hub with extensive long-haul and connecting services, hosting legacy carriers and many global alliances; fares can be mid to premium depending on route and timing. Midway is typically more of a domestic, budget-leaning option with a strong presence of low-cost and domestic carriers and often quicker turnarounds. O’Hare sits about 17 miles northwest of downtown, reachable by CTA Blue Line in roughly 45–60 minutes or by taxi/ride-share in about 35–60 minutes depending on traffic (fares vary widely). Midway is nearer, about 10 miles southwest, served by the CTA Orange Line in about 25–40 minutes or a short taxi/ride-share of 20–35 minutes for lower local fares. Pros: O’Hare offers broad international connectivity and many amenities; Midway can be more convenient for domestic travelers and quicker to navigate. Cons: O’Hare may be busier and subject to delays and longer transfers, while Midway has fewer long-haul options and smaller terminal facilities.
Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International (ATL) is a major international and domestic hub, serving as a primary connecting point for both legacy carriers and low-cost airlines—Delta has a particularly large presence while other carriers operate frequent domestic and international flights. Tickets to ATL can be competitively priced thanks to high competition on many routes. The airport sits about 10–12 miles south of downtown Atlanta; MARTA rail connects the domestic terminal to Peachtree Center in roughly 18–20 minutes for a modest fare, while ride-shares or taxis typically take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic and can cost substantially more. Advantages include extensive flight options and frequent ground transit; downsides can be long walking distances, busy terminals, and variable road congestion for surface transfers.
