Cheap Flights from Chicago (CHI) to Grand Rapids (GRR)

The largest city in Illinois and the Midwest, and the third most populated in the United States after New York and Los Angeles, Chicago, better known by its famous nicknames Chi-Town and The Windy City, is always an excellent place for weekend escapes and lengthy vacations! World-class dining, shopping, music, and baseball are a small snippet of the Chicago experience.

To the Northeast roughly 125 miles lies Furniture City. Direct, non-stop flights from Chicago to Grand Rapids are offered by AirTran Airways and Delta Air Lines. Additional routes can be boarded via Continental Airlines, United Airlines, and American Airlines.

Making your way out of Midway and O’Hare

Midway International is the smaller of Chicago’s two airports, and it is conveniently located 8 miles southwest of the Loop. Southwest Airlines is the principal carrier for this compact yet super busy airfield. 22 million passengers were flown through Midway in 2014, which although impressive for its size, is nowhere near the annual volume catered by O’Hare.

To lend credit to the Chi-Town’s pride and joy, the airport recently earned itself the title “the busiest in the world for take-offs and landings.” It overtook Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson for the record, and today commands a yearly flight base of 70+ million.

Most people flying to and from The Windy City will find themselves in O’Hare’s four terminals, nine concourses, and 182 gates! The International Terminal recently saw the addition of numerous restaurants, an updated facility design, and enhanced retail post-security.

Going to Grand Rapids

Michigan’s second largest city and situated just 25 miles off the shores of Lake Michigan, Grand Rapids is home to 200,000 people and businesses that serve a diverse array of industries, including consumer goods manufacturing (this is where five global furniture brands are headquartered), information technology, healthcare, and aviation.

There are plenty of indoor and outdoor attractions in the Grand Rapids area, perhaps the most popular of these being Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, Meyer May House, Gerald R. Ford Museum, Millennium Park, and the Blandford Nature Center.
