✈️ Chicago Airport Tip

Most international deals depart from O'Hare, which has far more nonstop routes globally. But for domestic travel, don't overlook Midway - it's often less crowded, closer to the city if you're on the South Side, and Southwest frequently runs great deals from there. This week's $28 Phoenix flight is the perfect example.

🎯 Chicago Airport Strategies (Premium)

Which Airport for Which Trip?

O'Hare (ORD): Your gateway for international travel. All Europe, Asia, and most Caribbean routes operate from here. It's a major United hub, so you'll find the most frequent flights and better premium cabin availability. Best for: Long-haul international, Business Class upgrades, connecting flights.

Midway (MDW): Southwest's home base means budget domestic deals and easy airport navigation. Closer to downtown if you're on the South Side. Best for: Domestic leisure travel, quick weekend trips, avoiding O'Hare crowds. This week's $28 Phoenix and $99 Las Vegas deals prove Midway's value.

Hidden Route Gems

• Direct to Dublin for $414 is your cheapest transatlantic gateway - then connect on budget airlines like Ryanair to explore Europe for even less

• Tokyo flights at $495 Economy can often be upgraded using United miles for just 40k miles more - check Award Travel Finder for availability

• Book Miami now at $28 before spring break prices kick in - these fares won't last beyond this week

Transit Tips

O'Hare: Blue Line CTA train ($5) gets you downtown in 45 minutes. Terminal transfers are via underground walkway - allow 20 minutes between terminals. TSA PreCheck lanes in all terminals. United Polaris Lounge (Terminal 1) is worth the splurge before long-haul Business Class flights.

Midway: Orange Line CTA train ($2.50) to downtown in 25 minutes. Only one terminal - much less stressful than O'Hare. Security is typically faster. No premium lounges, but the smaller airport means less walking.

Pro tip: Book fast. These premium cabin deals often disappear within 24-48 hours as airlines correct pricing or inventory gets scooped up. Set Google Flights price alerts for routes you're interested in, and when you see a great fare, don't hesitate - Miles & Points Daily subscribers know that the best deals require quick action.
