What is the best way to travel between Ohare airport and Midway airport in Chicago?|159032

I will be arriving at O_hare Terminal 5with my wife and a 2-year-old and we need to get on connecting flight departing from Midway airport in Chicago. What is the best way? Is there a bus/public transportation? How much is a cab or a limo? How long will it take? Thank you.

  • Years ago their used to be a helicopter shuttle between the two airports.
    There is still a shuttle service called Coach USA / Wisconsin.

    This web link should give you some information.

    There are also some limo services that will go between the two airports, obviously a bit more expensive.
    There is also public bus transportation, but I would not suggest it - especially since you have a small child with you.
    Good luck

  • Best solution is to take a taxi. If you book a car service, they typically require that you call them after you retrieve your bags. Although a car service is much nicer, that process can delay the transfer by about 10-15 minutes. Instead, just step outside to the taxi line and you should have a car within a much shorter wait. (By the way, always beware of any alleged _private drivers_ who solicit business in the airport or even outside -- it_s illegal).

    Taxi will cost about $45, give or take, and you should be there in about 30-40 minutes (unless you_re traveling during rush hour and then plan for a good hour). They do charge an additional $1 per person. I wonder if they would actually charge for a 2 year old?

  • The best way to get there would be to just take a taxi cab. However, it will be about $45 and up, depending on what cab service you use. I know because I work at the Hilton Garden Inn right outside the airport, and we always recommend that our guests use Airport Taxi and Limo. Their phone number is 847-297-5556. You can also try calling their 800 number at 800-707-0380. They charge our guests a set rate of $45.

    As for time planning, it takes 45 minutes with no traffic, and about an hour to an hour and a half if it_s rush hour, between 4-6pm.

    Best of luck :)

  • Depends upon how much time you have.
    There is a bus that travels between the two airports $14 per person.
    If you have more time you could try the cta ($2.5 per person). Take the blue line and transfer to the orange line at clark/lake. For this route, I would schedule 2 hrs of travel time. Not the fastest, but cheap.

  • If you travel with a baby, the safest way is to book a limo or a sedan with local chicago limo company, such as

    .

    The trip will cost you around $60 in black town car plus you order a car seat rental too for around $5 extra.

  • take a cab, it may take atleast an hour, but its the quickest way and least expensive, there is no train that goes out there
