Chicago is served by three main airports with distinct roles. O’Hare International (ORD) is the city’s primary international hub and a major connecting point for United and American as well as many global carriers; it typically offers the widest route network but can be busier and pricier for last-minute tickets. Midway (MDW) functions as the city’s budget and domestic alternative, often favored by low-cost carriers like Southwest and generally seen as more affordable for short-haul U.S. flights. Both airports sit roughly 10–18 miles from downtown Chicago: O’Hare about 17–18 miles northwest and Midway about 10 miles southwest. Public transit options include the CTA Blue Line to O’Hare (about 45–55 minutes; fares around the standard transit rate) and the Orange Line to Midway (about 25–35 minutes; similar fares). Taxis and rideshares can be faster depending on traffic — typically 30–60 minutes to either airport and costing notably more than transit. O’Hare offers broader international connectivity and more amenities but can mean longer lines and greater terminal walking; Midway is usually quicker for domestic trips and easier to navigate, though it has a smaller range of services and fewer nonstop long-haul options.

Minsk National Airport (MSQ) serves as Belarus’s primary international gateway and typically handles most long-haul and European connections, with state carrier Belavia and a mix of regional airlines operating regular services. Located about 40–50 km east of central Minsk, the airport can be reached by express bus, regular buses and taxis; journey times usually vary from 35 to 60 minutes depending on traffic, with public fares generally low and taxi fares higher but still moderate. The facility is often perceived as efficient and straightforward rather than luxurious, offering basic shopping and dining; it can be a practical choice for international travelers but may feel quieter and less varied in amenities compared with larger Western hubs.

In different months, ticket prices from Chicago to Minsk vary: minimum — $607 (January 2026), maximum — $824 (September 2026). Typically, the flight costs $704–$706.
