Guangzhou is mainly served by Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), a major international hub handling a wide mix of full-service and low-cost carriers across domestic and long-haul routes. Located about 28–30 km north of downtown Tianhe, travel into the city typically takes 30–60 minutes by airport express train or metro (Line 3) and around 40–70 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; fares can range from modest metro fares to higher taxi or ride-hailing costs. The airport is modern and well connected, making it convenient for international transfers, while peak-hour traffic and longer transfers between terminals can be less comfortable for tight connections. For regional or budget-focused travel, some passengers may look for deals on nearby secondary airports or alternative transit hubs, though CAN usually remains the primary gateway for most travelers to Guangzhou and the Pearl River Delta.
O'Hare International Airport (ORD) is Chicago's primary international hub, handling a large share of long-haul and connecting flights and serving major legacy carriers alongside several international airlines. Fares from O'Hare can be competitively priced on transcontinental and global routes, though peak-time rates may be higher. The airport sits about 17 miles northwest of downtown Chicago; travel options include the CTA Blue Line train (roughly 45–60 minutes, fare around $2.50), taxis or rideshares (30–60 minutes, fares varying by traffic), and shuttle services. Pros: extensive global connections and frequent flights. Cons: can be busy with lengthy walking times and occasional congestion at peak hours.
Midway International Airport (MDW) is Chicago's smaller, more budget-friendly airport that typically hosts domestic and near-international routes, with a concentration of low-cost and leisure carriers. Ticket prices from Midway can often be more affordable for short-haul trips, though exact savings depend on timing and carrier. Located about 10 miles southwest of downtown, it’s reachable via the CTA Orange Line (approximately 25–35 minutes, about $2.50), taxis/rideshares (20–40 minutes), and airport shuttles. Pros: closer to the city and usually quicker security lines. Cons: fewer nonstop long-haul options and fewer premium carrier choices.
