Chicago is served mainly by two commercial airports with distinct roles. O’Hare International (ORD) is the city’s primary international hub, handling long-haul and premium carriers alongside major domestic airlines; it’s typically perceived as mid- to higher-priced for connecting flights. O’Hare sits about 17–20 miles northwest of downtown; transit options include the CTA Blue Line (roughly 45–50 minutes), airport shuttle or express buses, and taxis or ride-shares (around 35–60 minutes depending on traffic), with fares ranging from moderate transit fares to higher ride-share/taxi costs. Pros: wide route network and frequent departures; cons: large terminals and potentially long transfer walks and security lines. Midway Airport (MDW) functions more as a secondary, budget-leaning domestic gateway favored by low-cost carriers; it’s nearer to the city—about 10 miles southwest—and is often considered cheaper for short-haul flights. The CTA Orange Line links Midway to downtown in roughly 25–30 minutes, while taxis and ride-shares typically take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic; fares are generally lower than from O’Hare. Pros: compact layout and quicker transfers; cons: fewer international options and limited late-night flights.

Yekaterinburg’s Koltsovo Airport (SVX) is the city’s main international gateway and a regional hub for domestic flights, typically serving full-service carriers like Aeroflot alongside several low-cost and regional airlines. Fares can be mid-range compared with western Russian routes but may vary seasonally and by carrier. The airport lies about 16–18 km southeast of the city centre; passengers usually reach central Yekaterinburg by Aeroexpress or regular bus and shuttle services in roughly 30–50 minutes, taxis taking 25–40 minutes depending on traffic—fares vary from modest fixed shuttle prices to higher taxi rates. Pros include modern facilities and a wide route network; cons can be busy peak-hour queues and occasional delays on regional connections.
