Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) is Puerto Rico’s main international gateway and typically handles most long-haul and regional flights, with legacy carriers and low-cost airlines operating side by side. The airport sits about 8 miles (roughly 20–30 minutes) east of San Juan’s Old San Juan and Condado neighborhoods; taxis and app-based rides cost commonly in a moderate range, while public buses and shared shuttles can be cheaper but slower. Ground transportation includes rental cars, private shuttles, and occasional hotel transfers, with journey times varying by traffic. Pros: convenient for international connections and city access; cons: can be busy during peak travel periods and may involve longer lines for security and customs.
Chicago is served mainly by two airports: O’Hare International (ORD) and Midway (MDW). O’Hare is the city’s primary international hub, handling many long-haul and connecting flights with a strong presence of legacy carriers and global alliances; fares can be mid-to-high depending on season and routing. It sits about 17–20 miles northwest of downtown; transit options include the CTA Blue Line (roughly 45–60 minutes), taxis and rideshares (30–60 minutes, variable tolls), and airport shuttles. Pros: extensive route network and frequent services; cons: large terminals and possible busy peak-time crowds. Midway functions as a budget-leaning domestic alternative with a heavier low-cost carrier profile and generally more affordable fares. Located some 10 miles southwest of downtown, Midway is reachable by the CTA Orange Line (about 25–35 minutes), taxis/rideshares (20–40 minutes), and local buses. Pros: smaller footprint and quicker check-in/walk times; cons: fewer international connections and limited late-night options compared with O’Hare.
