Making your way to Chicago’s airports
Chicago O’Hare isn’t just the busiest airport in Illinois, it is frequently one of the busiest in the world. If traffic is reasonable, it should take you about 40 minutes to drive the 17 miles from downtown, and there is a huge selection of parking available at the airport. Public transport to O’Hare is easy and convenient. For a $2.30 fare you can hop on the CTA Blue Line. It’s a direct link to the airport, running from the Loop to the main airport parking garage. The trip takes about half an hour and trains run every 15 minutes, 24/7. There are four main passenger terminals in the airport, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 5.
Chicago’s other airport, Midway, has a single terminal divided into three concourses. Getting around the airport is simple, and security lines are generally short. It’s also simple to get to the airport, which is only eight miles from the city center. The CTA Orange Line offers a Midway route that takes about 25 minutes from the loop to the airport. When scheduling, keep in mind that there is a 15 minute walk through a tunnel from the airport stop to the main terminal.
