Cheap Flights from Chicago to Guadalajara — $122

Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla International Airport (GDL) is Guadalajara’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers connecting Mexico, the U.S., and parts of Latin America. Located about 16–20 km (roughly 25–35 minutes) from downtown Guadalajara, transfer options usually include taxis, airport shuttles, app-based rides and local buses; travel times vary with traffic and fares can range from modest bus fares to moderate taxi/ride-share prices. The airport is generally seen as a convenient regional hub with basic passenger amenities and several dining and shopping choices. Pros: straightforward connections and good low-cost service options; cons: peak-hour congestion and occasional delays getting into the city.

Chicago is served by two main airports with distinct roles. O'Hare International (ORD) is the city's primary international and connecting hub, typically handling long-haul and legacy-carrier traffic from United, American and many global airlines; it can be perceived as mid- to higher-priced for transfers and some fares. O'Hare sits about 17–18 miles northwest of downtown; travelers usually take the CTA Blue Line train (roughly 45–60 minutes, fares around $2.50), express and local buses, taxis or rideshares (30–60 minutes, fares varying widely). Pros: extensive international connections and many amenities; cons: can be large and busy, with longer transfers. Midway (MDW) functions as a more budget- and domestic-focused airport, commonly used by low-cost carriers like Southwest and by regional services. It’s located about 10 miles southwest of downtown, often a 20–35 minute drive in normal traffic; public transit options include the CTA Orange Line (about 25–35 minutes, fares around $2.50), buses, taxis and rideshares. Midway can offer lower fares and quicker curb-to-gate times on domestic routes, but it has fewer international flights and fewer long-haul amenities compared with O'Hare.

In different months, ticket prices from Chicago to Guadalajara vary: minimum — $122 (June 2026), maximum — $135 (May 2026). Typically, the flight costs $128–$135.
