Chicago is served by two main commercial airports with distinct roles. O'Hare International (ORD) is the city's primary international hub, typically handling a mix of major legacy carriers and many long-haul and connecting flights; fares can be mid-to-high depending on route and timing. It lies about 17 miles northwest of downtown; transit options include the CTA Blue Line (~45–60 minutes, fares around $2.50), airport shuttles, taxis and rideshares (~30–60 minutes, $40–70), and express buses. Pros: extensive route network and frequent departures; cons: can be busy, with longer security and connection times. Midway (MDW) functions more as a domestic and budget-oriented airport, often served by low-cost and leisure carriers with generally lower fares on short-haul routes. Located roughly 10 miles southwest of the Loop, it’s reachable by CTA Orange Line (~25–40 minutes, fares around $2.50), shuttle, taxi or rideshare (~20–40 minutes, $30–55). Pros: compact layout and quicker transfers; cons: fewer international options and limited late-night services compared with the larger hub.
