If you have a lot of luggage or prefer not to take public transportation, there are several other options for getting to and from O'Hare. Taxi-costs about $35-40 each way and take you directly to your hotel. You can catch taxis in front of every terminal, first come, first serve. Continental Airport Express-cost is $25 each way, $46 round trip if you book online. The cost goes down if you have more people, check the website for more info and current pricing. It sounds like they take you directly to your hotel but you may have to share and the trip might be longer than with a taxi. Rental car-unless you are traveling a lot to areas outside of Chicago, rethink renting a car. Public transportation, walking and taxis in Chicago should be adequate for your stay. For additional options see the website listed below. Historical note-Travelers to O'Hare will notice that their luggage tags read ORD. Originally O'Hare was called Orchard Field, it was renamed in 1949 for Butch O'Hare, a World War II fighter pilot from Chicago who was a war hero.

Until 1998 O'Hare was the busiest airport in the world. Other airports may have stolen a march on O'Hare, but it hasn't got any less busier, the other airports just got even more air traffic. Compared to other airports of its kind, like Heathrow, Frankfurt and LAX, it's quite well ordered and easy to navigate. It does, however, have a bad reputation for delays, especially at peak times, so be prepared. Getting there can also be problematic at peak times. A taxi ride from the centre should take only about 40 minutes, but at rush hour this can double, or worse. Many people recommend taking the Orange line from the center at peak hours. This takes about 30 minutes, rush hour or not. Leave a Comment Theme: AirplaneWebsite: http://www.flychicago.com
