Nearest Airport: Chicago is served by two major international airports: O’Hare International Airport (ORD) and Midway International Airport (MDW). O’Hare is one of the world's busiest airports, offering numerous direct flights from major UK cities like London Heathrow. Midway also provides a strong network, particularly for domestic connections.

Rail Connections: Once in the city, an extensive public transport network connects the airports to downtown. Amtrak provides intercity rail services across the US from Chicago's Union Station, while Metra offers commuter rail services throughout the wider metropolitan area.

Road Access: Chicago is a central hub in the US interstate highway system, making it easily accessible by road from surrounding states. However, for those flying in, driving within the city is often secondary to its efficient public transit.

Local Transport: The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) operates an extensive network of 'L' trains (elevated and subway lines) and buses, providing excellent coverage across the city's neighbourhoods and connecting all major attractions and event venues. Taxis and ride-sharing services are also readily available.
