Flights to Chicago land at its main airport,
O'Hare International
(Bessie Coleman Drive, 00 1 773 6862200), which lies 17 miles north-west of the centre. Taxis are in ready supply (expect to pay about $50 to get to town), as are shuttle buses that stop at most hotels (around $15). The CTA (better known as the ‘El') train, also links the city to the airport and covers much of the central area.
