What is best way to get to Chicago Ohara from Millenium Park?|168645

I am taking train from University Park to Millenium Park, and need to get to O_Hara Airport, wondering the best way to go. Friday 10:30 am

Ugh.
Sometimes it seems like the people who answer this type of question exit the subway at the same place no matter where they_re going and have no clue about the layout of the streets in Chicago. I_m not saying they_re wrong, they_re just making you walk way more than you need to...

The Millennium Park Station is at Randolph _ Michigan. When you walk up the stairs you_ll be facing west, just keep walking. You_ll cross Wabash (loop up, that_s the elevated train), then State Street then you_ll run into Dearborn. Make a left on Dearborn and you_ll see about four Blue Line stops less than a half block down at Washington Street. Make sure you have $2 in cash as the CTA does not offer change.

If you need an elevator, there_s one at Clark _ Lake which is four blocks away from Millennium Park (only two more than Washington _ Dearborn). The Jackson _ Dearborn subway stop is eight city blocks away from Millennium Park, double the walking distance from Millennium Park and in the complete wrong direction.

It_s NOT _OHara_, not named after _Scarlett_, OK? It_s O_Hare O-H-A-R-E, named after a guy named Butch O_Hare who was a famous naval aviator from Chicago. BTW Midway airport is NOT _Midway_ between anything either, it is named after the Battle of Midway.

The cheapest way is the CTA Blueline train. There is also Continental Airport Express, which is a van service.

It takes about 45 minutes to get to Ohare on the blue line. There are numerous Blue Line entrances on Dearborn between VanBuren and Washington. They are really hard to miss. However, if you have a lot of luggage look for the elevator entrance near Jackson.

You should cross the street at Monroe on Michigan, and walk west to Dearborn. There will be a Subway Entrance named _Monroe_ It is the Blue Line and it will take you straight to the O_Hara Bus Terminal. GL =)

Take the CTA blue line...it goes right to the airport!! You can get on at Dearborn and Jackson or Dearborn and Monroe.
