Chicago is served by two primary airports with distinct roles. O'Hare International (ORD) operates as the city's major international and connecting hub, hosting a wide mix of legacy and global carriers and typically offering the broadest choice of routes at mid-to-high fare ranges. It lies about 17 miles northwest of downtown; travel by the CTA Blue Line usually takes 45–60 minutes and can be among the most affordable options, while taxis or rideshares typically take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic and can cost more. Midway (MDW) functions more as a domestic and budget-oriented airport, favored by low-cost carriers and often perceived as cheaper for short-haul flights. Midway sits roughly 10 miles southwest of the Loop; the Orange Line tram connects it to downtown in around 25–35 minutes, while road trips and rideshares are quicker but subject to congestion. Pros: O'Hare offers extensive international connectivity and frequent services, while Midway is closer and can be simpler for domestic travel. Cons: O'Hare can involve long walks and busy terminals; Midway has fewer long-haul choices and can feel crowded during peak times.
