CHICAGO - Driving from Downtown to O'Hare Airport

30-min footage of a "classic" drive from downtown Chicago to O'Hare Airport.

It was a lovely autumn morning on October 31, 2021. I went for a ride from downtown Chicago to O'Hare Airport hoping to get some nice footage.

Thank you for posting this video! I live in Chicago and driving to O'Hare has to be the best feeling and view in the world.

@14:41 Wow! He must be in a mighty hurry! Excellent run! Reminds me of the times I visited Chicago when I was little

[@drivingdude8849]

Time to visit Chicago again.... off course, summer months are the best.

@@drivingdude8849 we've visited Chicago at least twice on field trips and one of the school buses brokedown. And of course I've had to catch connecting flights at O'hare and Midway. And of course there are like tons of trains. I've never visited a city before where I've seen so many trains. It's a major railroad hub if my memory serves me correct

Thank you mate, this video made me cry .. This road I94 means a lot for me, it's 6 years of my life lived in the central United States. I lived in Milwaukee, and I was driven over 100 times between Chicago and Wisconsin... In 2020 for some reason, I was leaving America and never got a chance going back...Today when I watching your video it felt like I was back to that old good times.. Thank you again for sharing your driving experience. And if you have a chance to share your drive experience all the way to Milwaukee from Chicago, I will really appreciate to see that!

I am glad you like it.

You picked the perfect day and time to travel this route to the airport because on a regular weekday this highway is jammed packed in both directions all day long. I live along this highway not too far from the airport. Great video. In fact Sunday evening is when it gets very busy.

[@drivingdude8849]

Thank you and I agree. I don't know how it is on Sundays now but I remember in pre-covid days it was brutal. I mean really brutal. Any time after 2 PM was a nightmare.

[@drivingdude8849]

Thank you and I am glad that you do.

Bumpy ride.

[@drivingdude8849]

It is a shame but the whole Chicago is an endless bumpy ride.

[@bunnybun2243]

How to get to rental car area?

[@Johnny-sg5tc]

How many miles the ride?

[@drivingdude8849]

I would say that about 18 miles to O'Hare and about 4 miles at O'Hare.

[@brettcarmer9232]

Must be just driving the speed limit as I see everyone is flying past you

[@drivingdude8849]

There was no need to hurry anywhere.

[@kingjulian2871]

That’s what the speed limit is for…people going 70+ on the dan ryan or any expy in Chicago are bound to have accidents
