Chicago is served mainly by two large airports and several smaller fields. O'Hare International (ORD) is the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and many domestic flights and acting as a major connecting point for legacy carriers; fares here can be competitive for transcontinental and overseas travel. It sits about 17–20 miles northwest of downtown; travelers typically allow 40–75 minutes by car depending on traffic. Options include the CTA Blue Line train (roughly 45–55 minutes, budget-friendly), airport shuttles, taxis and rideshares (fares vary). Pros: wide route choice and strong international connections. Cons: can be busy and spread out, with potentially long transfers. Midway International (MDW) is Chicago’s secondary commercial airport and often positioned as a budget- and leisure-oriented option, hosting many low-cost and some domestic carriers on shorter routes. Located roughly 10 miles southwest of downtown, it’s usually closer for travelers heading to the South Side or Near West neighborhoods. Ground travel typically takes 25–40 minutes by car; the CTA Orange Line provides a direct rail link taking about 25–30 minutes at low cost. Pros: compact terminals and quicker curb-to-gate times. Cons: fewer long-haul services and sometimes constrained route variety compared with the larger hub.
Eppley Airfield (OMA) is Omaha’s main commercial airport and typically functions as a regional hub with a mix of legacy and low-cost carriers—think Delta, United, American, Southwest and seasonal charters. Fares can be competitive for Midwest routes but may trend higher than nearby secondary airports for some transcontinental connections. The airport sits roughly 7 miles northeast of downtown Omaha; travel time by taxi or rideshare is usually 15–25 minutes, with fares commonly in the low-to-mid range for the city (public bus service is available and can take 30–50 minutes for a lower-cost option). Pros: compact terminal, short security lines and convenient parking; cons: limited international connections and fewer late-night flight options compared with larger hubs.
