Two Convenient Airports
The Chicago Midway airport (MDW) is the closest to the Chicago Downtown campus. Flights are predominantly on Southwest Airlines. If you can snag a direct Southwest flight to Midway, we recommend this smaller, easier-to-manage airport over O’Hare.
Getting to downtown Chicago or the Rush Downtown campus is easy. Taxi, Uber/Lyft, car rentals, and public transportation (Orange Line — “The El”) are all easily accessible from the terminal.
Chicago O’Hare
10000 W O'Hare Ave, Chicago, IL 60666
The Chicago O’Hare airport (ORD) is Chicago’s flagship airport with direct flights to all major cities in the United States and many international airports across the globe. Chicago O’Hare will offer the most options on most major airlines such as American, United, and Delta — basically all airlines except Southwest.
Each of the 5 terminals has easy access to transportation to downtown Chicago or the Rush Downtown campus. Taxi, Uber/Lyft, car rentals, or public transportation (Blue Line — “The El”) are all great options.
