Shymkent International Airport (SZT) functions as the main regional gateway for southern Kazakhstan, serving a mix of domestic and international flights rather than a major global hub. You’ll typically find Kazakh carriers and regional airlines operating alongside occasional low-cost services, with fares often perceived as modest compared with larger national hubs. The airport sits about 12–15 km northeast of Shymkent’s city center; taxis take roughly 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and can be the quickest option, while shared minibuses or local buses may take 30–45 minutes for lower fares. Advantages include straightforward layouts and short queues at off-peak times, while limitations can be fewer international connections and limited lounge or shopping choices compared with bigger airports.
O'Hare International Airport (ORD) is Chicago's primary international hub, serving many full-service carriers and acting as a major connection point for domestic and long-haul flights. It typically hosts legacy airlines and major global carriers, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on route and timing. O'Hare lies about 17 miles northwest of downtown Chicago; travel options include the CTA Blue Line train (roughly 45–55 minutes, modest fares), airport shuttle and rideshare services (30–60 minutes, fares vary), and taxis. Pros: extensive route network and frequent schedules; cons: large terminals and busy traffic can make transfers less convenient.
Midway International Airport (MDW) functions more as a budget- and domestic-focused airport, commonly used by low-cost carriers and short-haul flights. It is typically seen as a cost-effective option for travelers flying within the U.S., though prices depend on demand and carrier. Midway sits about 10 miles southwest of downtown; public transit includes the CTA Orange Line (around 25–35 minutes, low fare), plus shuttles, rideshare and taxis with shorter drive times. Pros: easier navigation and generally quicker check-ins; cons: fewer international connections and a smaller route network compared with O'Hare.
