O Hare Airport Hotels - Chicago -
Chicago - O'Hare International Airport
Chicago (IATA: CHI for all airports) is served by two major
airports: O'Hare International Airport and Midway Airport.There
are plenty of taxis both to and from the city center, but they
are quite expensive, especially during rush hours. Expect upwards
of $40 for O'Hare and $30 for Midway. CTA trains provide direct
service to both larger airports for $2.25 from anywhere in the
city — faster than a taxi during rush hour and a lot less expensive.
Many large hotels offer complimentary shuttle vans to one
or both airports, or can arrange one for a charge ($15-25)
with advance notice.
[edit] O'Hare
O'Hare International Airport (IATA: ORD, ICAO: KORD) is 17
miles northwest of downtown and serves many international
and domestic carriers. United Airlines has the largest
presence here (about 50%) followed by American Airlines
with about 40%. Most connecting flights for smaller cities
in the Midwest run through O'Hare. It's one of the biggest
airports in the world, and it has always been notorious for
delays and cancellations. Unfortunately, it's too far northwest
for most travelers who get stuck overnight to head into the
city. As a result, there are plenty of hotels in the O'Hare
area. See the O'Hare article for listings.
The CTA Blue Line runs between the Loop and O'Hare in 45-60
sluggish minutes. On weekends, the Blue Line is usually getting
some overdue repair work — this means you will have to take
a (free) shuttle bus between stations, which can add even
more time to the trip. If you've got a plane to catch, allow
extra time.
