Chicago is served by two main airports with distinct roles. O’Hare International (ORD) functions as the city’s primary international and connecting hub, typically handling most long-haul and legacy-carrier flights (United, American, and major global airlines), while Midway (MDW) is often positioned as the more budget- and domestic-focused airport, favored by low-cost and leisure carriers such as Southwest. O’Hare sits roughly 17–20 miles northwest of downtown; travel options include CTA Blue Line trains (about 45–60 minutes, fares around $2.50), airport shuttles and taxis or ride-hailing (30–60 minutes depending on traffic, fares varying widely). Midway lies about 10 miles southwest of the Loop and is accessible via CTA Orange Line (approximately 25–30 minutes, similar fare), plus taxis and rideshares that can be faster but cost more. Pros for O’Hare include extensive international connectivity and broad amenities, though it can be busy and spread out; Midway is often quicker to and from the city and simpler to navigate, but it has fewer long-haul options and can feel more constrained during peak times.
Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) serves as a regional gateway with a strong focus on low-cost and full-service carriers connecting the UAE to the Middle East, South Asia and parts of Africa. It’s generally positioned as a budget-friendly alternative to nearby Dubai hubs, so fares can be comparatively lower on many routes. The airport sits about 15–20 km northeast of Sharjah city centre and roughly 25–35 km from central Dubai; travel time by taxi or rideshare is typically 20–40 minutes within Sharjah and 40–60+ minutes to Dubai depending on traffic. Public transport includes airport shuttles and local buses with modest fares, while taxis offer faster but costlier transfers. Pros: straightforward layout and often lower fares; cons: fewer long-haul choices and potentially longer transfers to Dubai attractions.
