The Wedding Website of Alli LaHood and William Mbongo
We can't wait to welcome you to our favorite city, Chicago! Here are some helpful tips on airports, local transportation, and staying near Lincoln Park.

Flight

Airports

Chicago has two major airports, both convenient to Lincoln Park. O'Hare International Airport (ORD) is the larger of the two with the most flight options. It is about 24-40 minutes by car to Lincoln Park. Accessible via the Blue Line with a simple transfer. Midway International Airport is smaller and great for Southwest and many domestic flights. About 25-35 minutes by car to Lincoln Park. Reachable via the Orange Line with a transfer.
