How to get to Chicago: Flying into O’Hare or Midway or taking Amtrak are all good options. It is easy and economical to take the elevated train from these airports to exits close to the ULCC, but taxis and airport shuttles are also plentiful. Amtrak arrives at Union Station about eight blocks from the ULCC for those who want to walk or a $5-6 taxi ride. Driving to and in Chicago is challenging, not only because of the fact it is a city of 3 million, but also due to heavy road construction leading into and on some main streets this summer.
