🏆 Premium: Chicago Airport Strategy Guide
Not all Chicago airport deals are created equal. Here's how to choose between O'Hare and Midway based on where you're going.
O'Hare (ORD) - Best for: International flights to Europe, Asia, Middle East, and Caribbean. ORD has far more direct international routes and this week accounts for 54 of the 57 deals. Every transatlantic deal this week departs from ORD. If you're going abroad, plan on O'Hare.
Midway (MDW) - Best for: Cheap domestic short-hauls, especially Southwest Airlines routes. This week's $28 Phoenix and $99 Las Vegas deals both fly from MDW. If you live on the south or west side of Chicago, Midway can save you significant time and rideshare costs vs ORD.
Transit tip for O'Hare: The CTA Blue Line runs directly to ORD from downtown in about 45 minutes for $2.50 - skip the Uber surge on busy travel days. Terminal 1, 2, and 3 are all accessible via the airport's internal ATS tram.
Transit tip for Midway: The CTA Orange Line runs direct from the Loop to MDW in about 30 minutes. Great for early morning departures when traffic can be brutal.
Hidden gem this week: ORD → San Francisco Business Class at $388 round-trip (Mar 12–17) - Business Class to the Bay Area for less than some economy tickets on peak travel dates.
Best midweek departure strategy: Tuesday and Thursday departures this week consistently show the lowest prices - ORD → LAX ($44), MDW → LAS ($99), ORD → DEL ($290), and ORD → CUN ($93) all depart midweek.
Long-haul award alert: If you'd prefer to use miles for any of the Business Class Asia or Middle East routes above, Award Travel Finder tracks daily award space - many of these routes have sweet spot redemptions in Business Class with the right program.
