Travel & Accommodations

Flight

O'Hare Airport & Midway Airport

Chicago has two airports you can fly into! O'Hare Airport on the northwest side of the city and Midway Airport on the southwest side of the city. O'Hare features domestic airlines such as Delta, American, United, while Midway is primarily home to Southwest Airlines.

Train

Chicago Transit Authority (CTA)

When arriving to Chicago at either airport, you can take the CTA (the 'L') directly into the city by hopping on the Blue Line toward Forest Park from O'Hare or taking the Orange Line toward the Loop from Midway. The train is faster than driving and more environmentally friendly! When taking the train you can purchase a Ventra pass or use the Ventra app to add a weekend fare. For travel to the venue, we also recommend public transportation. You can take the Pink Line toward 54th/Cermak and get off at the 18th Street stop, which is 5 blocks west of Thalia Hall, or take the 18th Street bus (#18), which stops at the corner of 18th and Racine, one block east of Thalia Hall.
