O’Hare International Airport (ORD) is Chicago’s primary international hub and a major connecting point for both domestic and long-haul carriers, typically hosting legacy airlines and many global partners. Located about 17 miles northwest of downtown, travel to the Loop usually takes 30–60 minutes by CTA Blue Line (train) or 30–75 minutes by taxi/rideshare depending on traffic; fares for public transit are modest while taxi/rideshare can be moderate to high. O’Hare offers extensive amenities and frequent flight options, but it can be busy and subject to delays during peak periods. Midway International Airport (MDW) is Chicago’s smaller, more budget-friendly airport that mainly serves domestic and low-cost carriers, and is often perceived as a cheaper, quicker option for short-haul travel. Situated roughly 10 miles southwest of downtown, the CTA Orange Line connects Midway to the Loop in about 20–30 minutes; airport shuttles, buses, taxis, or rideshares are also common and typically cost less than equivalent trips from O’Hare. Midway can be more convenient for closer neighborhoods and shorter security lines, though it has fewer international connections and a more limited range of services compared with O’Hare.

Chelyabinsk Airport (CEK), also known as Balandino, serves as the region’s primary international and domestic gateway, typically handling a mix of scheduled Russian carriers and some low-cost or regional operators. It can be positioned as a mid-sized hub rather than a major international transit point, with fares often perceived as competitive for domestic routes. The airport lies roughly 20–25 km west of Chelyabinsk city center; transfer options usually include taxis (about 25–40 minutes, fares varying), airport shuttles or buses (roughly 40–60 minutes, modest fares), and private transfers. Pros: compact terminal layout and straightforward connections; cons: limited long-haul amenities and fewer international route choices compared with larger hubs.
