Chicago is served by two main commercial airports with distinct roles. O’Hare International (ORD) is a major international and connecting hub, typically hosting legacy carriers like United and American alongside a wide range of global airlines; it can be pricier for last-minute or premium flights but often offers more international and nonstop options. O’Hare sits about 17–20 miles northwest of downtown; typical transport choices include the CTA Blue Line train (roughly 45–60 minutes, low fare), airport shuttle or rideshare (35–60 minutes, fares vary), and taxis. Pros: extensive flight choice and facilities; cons: large layout and potential congestion. Midway (MDW) functions more as a domestic/budget-oriented airport, commonly used by low-cost carriers such as Southwest and some regional airlines. Midway is around 10 miles southwest of the Loop; travel options include CTA Orange Line (25–35 minutes, inexpensive), shuttle or rideshare (20–40 minutes, cost dependent), and taxis. Pros: generally quicker ground access and simpler layouts; cons: fewer international routes and smaller amenity selection compared with O’Hare.
