What is the best way to travel between Ohare airport and Midway airport in Chicago?|182751

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.

    Check the following link to a bus line that runs between them

  • 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
  • How long does it take to go through the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?|194223

    I am planning a trip to Cleveland and this is the main reason for it. I am a HUGE music freak. so is my fiance. How long should I expect to be in there?

  • It can take anywhere from 3 hours to the whole day depending on what they have going on. I know sometimes they show documentaries so you may get caught up in the documentary for 2 hours.

  • a day and you should get through it i would not plan for anything less than a day u dont want to rush
  • What is the water like at destin beach in florida around late july?|179056

    Heading to Destin beach in a couple days and just wondering what the water will be like.

  • Warm and clear. unless there is a storm. the water temp is around 91. Hopefully there aren_t storms. i went to marco island two years ago and the first two days were beautiful. calm waves, clear and warm water. then a storm came and the water became cold and murky. but the water is usually clear and warm :)
    Have a good trip!

  • Wet :-)
  • How is interstate travel in the Fargo-Moorhead area affected by the flooding?|178365

    We have a trip planned from Manitoba to St. Paul this weekend (April 3-5). We were planning on taking I-29 down to Fargo, then I-94 across the river to Moorhead and down to the Twin Cities.

    Is this still the best route, or are these interstates experiencing flood-related closures, traffic backups, etc? Is the I-94 bridge across the Red River even open?

    Thanks for any information. Also, I would have posted this in the Minneapolis-St. Paul section, but there isn_t one!

  • Currently the Interstates are open to travel---the I-94 bridge between Fargo-Moorhead is one of two bridges that didn_t close, bur there will be some extra traffic due to other bridges still being closed.
