There are three major airports that provide service to Chicago. Two that are in Chicago, the O'Hare airport which is the second busiest airport in the United States for traffic in and out of the airport, and second in the World in terms of passengers passing through.

The Chicago Midway International Airport is the cities second airport. This airport is closer to the cities business and financial districts. The airport covers 320 acres and has 8 runways. Southwest Airlines and AirTran transport the most passengers from Chicago Midway. Both of these airports the O'Hare and the Midway are owned and operated by the City of Chicago.

The third airport that services Chicago is located in nearby Gary, Indiana. The Gary/Chicago International Airport. This airport was given the approval of $48 million in Federal funding in 2006 to expand. There is plenty of expansion room for this airport and placing funds for expansion here makes sense rather then expanding on an already large O'Hare airport. The Gary/Chicago is also close enough to the city that it is convenient.

Taxis are readily available in Chicago as well. A good idea would be to plot your route on a map to make sure the taxi drivers are not taking long routes and charging you more.
