Departure: Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

Your journey starts at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. The Metro K and C lines connect LAX via a people mover and the FlyAway bus reaches Union Station and Van Nuys; with the distances involved - Anaheim 55 km, San Diego 200 km - and luggage, nearly every visitor takes a car from the terminal.

• Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your hotel in Los Angeles to Los Angeles International Airport
• Let us know about the terminal and fast-track options at Los Angeles International Airport
• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference

Arrival: Chicago O'Hare or Midway (ORD / MDW) and getting into Chicago

Arrival is at Chicago O'Hare or Midway (ORD / MDW), and the first decision is how to reach the city. Chicago sits on Lake Michigan with the Loop's skyscrapers, the Magnificent Mile and the lakefront parks at its heart; O'Hare (ORD) is about 27 km north-west of the Loop and Midway (MDW) about 16 km south-west. We provide airport transfers in Chicago with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.

Onward flights or trains from Chicago the same day can be added to the booking; tell us and we choose a Los Angeles to Chicago departure that leaves a safe connection.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Los Angeles to Chicago flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Los Angeles to Chicago. Full-service fares normally include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare

Flying with children, families and groups from Los Angeles to Chicago

Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.

Things to do in Chicago when you land

Chicago sits on Lake Michigan with the Loop's skyscrapers, the Magnificent Mile and the lakefront parks at its heart; O'Hare (ORD) is about 27 km north-west of the Loop and Midway (MDW) about 16 km south-west. Start with Wrigley Field, the Riverwalk and Millennium Park and the Bean, then the Art Institute of Chicago and the Willis Tower Skydeck. A tip from our desk: O'Hare has Terminals 1, 2, 3 and 5 (international) - let us know the airline and flight number - and say whether you land at O'Hare or Midway, on opposite sides of the city.

We offer tours and transfers in Chicago as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to fly from Los Angeles to Chicago

Summer is warm and lively on the lakefront; winter is cold with snow and wind off the lake; spring and autumn are short and pleasant; the Kennedy Expressway from O'Hare is slow at weekday rush hours. On the flight from Los Angeles to Chicago, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.

Return flight from Chicago to Los Angeles

The Chicago to Los Angeles flight is the same route in reverse, about 4 hours. Haqqi Tours arranges the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we can book a flexible outbound or wait, and explain which is cheaper.

How much is a flight from Los Angeles to Chicago?

"How much is the Los Angeles to Chicago flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours can provide the current cost for the date you travel within minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

Just ask for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.
