Flying to Chicago
Chicago is a major hub for both business and leisure—museums, deep-dish pizza, and lakefront views. Two airports serve the city: O'Hare and Midway. Checking both can save you money.
Getting there
O'Hare (ORD) is one of the busiest airports in the world, with flights to and from almost everywhere. Midway (MDW) is smaller and south of the loop; several budget carriers fly there, so fares are often lower. Train and bus links connect both to downtown. Use the search form above to compare ORD and MDW for your dates.
When to fly
Demand (and prices) peak in summer and around Thanksgiving and Christmas. For better deals, aim for January–March or September–October. Midweek travel usually costs less than weekends.
If you're flexible on which airport you use, always run a search that includes both. The difference can be fifty dollars or more each way.

How to find cheap flights to Chicago
Search nearby airports
A nearby airport can be cheaper than the obvious one, especially when a city is served by multiple airports or regional alternatives.
Avoid peak travel days
Friday departures and Sunday returns often cost more. Midweek combinations are usually a better place to start.
Look outside the busiest season
Shoulder-season trips can deliver better fares, shorter lines, and more flexible flight options.
Review the full trip cost
The cheapest headline fare is not always the best value after carry-on fees, seat selection, and airport transfer costs.
