Cheap Flights from Guadalajara to Chicago Starting at $148

Guadalajara is served mainly by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla International Airport (GDL), the region’s principal international gateway that handles a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers—Aeroméxico, Volaris and Viva Aerobus are commonly present. Located about 16 km (roughly 30–40 minutes by road) southeast of downtown Guadalajara, the airport can be reached by taxi, rideshare or airport shuttle; public buses also link the airport to central neighbourhoods with longer travel times. Fares vary by mode but taxis and rideshares are typically moderate compared with domestic budgets. GDL can be convenient for international connections and offers basic passenger amenities, while occasional congestion at peak times and longer surface travel during rush hour are worth factoring into schedules.

Chicago is served by two main airports with distinct roles. O’Hare International (ORD) is the city’s primary international and connecting hub, typically handling a wide mix of legacy carriers and many international long-haul routes; fares there can be competitive for transcontinental and overseas travel. It sits about 17–20 miles northwest of downtown; travelers can take the CTA Blue Line (roughly 45–60 minutes) for a low-cost option, or taxis/rideshares that usually take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic and can be pricier. Pros: extensive flight choice and frequent connections. Cons: larger crowds and longer walking times between gates. Midway (MDW) functions more as a domestic and low-cost carrier base, commonly served by budget and leisure airlines offering often lower-fare short-haul flights. Located around 10 miles southwest of downtown, it’s connected by the CTA Orange Line (about 25–35 minutes) and by road where taxi or rideshare trips are typically 20–40 minutes; transit fares are modest while road fares vary. Pros: compact layout and quicker transfers; cons: fewer international options and sometimes limited late-night services.
