Airport Recommendations

Chicago has two major airports. Chicago O'Hare International (ORD) and Midway International Airport (MDW). All major carriers fly into both locations with ORD as the hub for United and MDW as the hub for Southwest. Both have access to public transit via the CTA Blue or Orange lines. Alternatively, you may take an Uber, Lyft, or Taxi. **Please note, transit time to and from the airport may vary. We recommend allotting an hour for transit between the airport and downtown.**
