Chicago is served primarily by two major airports and a smaller regional field. O’Hare International (ORD) is the city’s global hub, typically handling most long-haul and legacy-carrier traffic — United and American have a strong presence — and can be pricier on peak routes. Midway (MDW) functions as the budget- and domestic-focused alternative, often used by low-cost carriers such as Southwest and offering competitive fares. O’Hare lies about 17 miles northwest of downtown (30–60 minutes by car depending on traffic; CTA Blue Line 45–60 minutes, fares about $3–6), while Midway sits roughly 10 miles southwest (20–35 minutes drive; CTA Orange Line 25–35 minutes, similar fares). O’Hare offers extensive international connections but can be busy and sprawling; Midway is more compact and convenient for domestic travelers though with fewer global options.

Nashville International Airport (BNA) serves as the primary gateway for the city and functions as a busy regional and international hub, with carriers ranging from full-service legacy airlines to several low-cost and leisure operators. It’s about 8 miles (13 km) east of downtown, and typical transport options include rideshares or taxis (around 15–25 minutes depending on traffic), city buses and shuttles (30–40 minutes), and rental cars; fares and times can vary by service and time of day. Travelers often find a broad mix of ticket prices, with budget fares available on discount carriers and higher fares on peak routes. Pros: modern terminal, plentiful flights and services; cons: peak-hour congestion and limited public-rail connections to the core.
