Chicago’s downtown Loop puts Millennium Park, the Art Institute and the Riverwalk within a manageable area. The lakefront creates a second axis for walking, while neighbourhoods farther out need transit time of their own. Passengers landing at O’Hare may be changing flights or visiting relatives in the wider region, so check whether an overnight hotel is near the airport or downtown. The CTA Blue Line runs from the airport into the city and avoids the road congestion that can affect a taxi.
The Loop is useful for the Art Institute, Millennium Park and central rail links, while a hotel near O’Hare serves an early flight or suburban appointment. These bases are a substantial distance apart. The CTA Blue Line reaches the airport from downtown, but passengers arriving at Terminal 5 first need the airport connection to the main rail-access area. The airport train and an intercity rail departure from Union Station are separate arrangements.
Air India uses Terminal 5. United domestic flights and international departures use Terminal 1, while many international arrivals are processed through Terminal 5, so an onward connection can involve a building change. In the city, pair the Art Institute with Millennium Park rather than crossing to a distant neighbourhood between them. The Riverwalk offers another central route, while the lakefront extends far beyond the downtown section. The Obama Presidential Center opened to the public in June 2026 in Jackson Park, creating a museum outing on the South Side rather than another stop beside the Loop. Plan that visit as its own district trip. A river architecture cruise also has a specific departure dock, which should be matched to the walking route. Choose between a museum-heavy day and a longer lakefront walk before booking several timed attractions.
May to June or September to October, about 12–25°C, for river and lake walks.
By Air: O’Hare International Airport (ORD) is about 27 km northwest of downtown Chicago; the CTA Blue Line takes about 45 minutes to the Loop. Taxis and booked cars also operate.
By Rail: Chicago Union Station serves intercity trains; the CTA Blue Line links O’Hare with downtown.
By Road: Airport taxis and app-based cars use expressways; intercity coaches use downtown stops.

O’Hare International Airport (ORD). Air India operates from O’Hare Terminal 5. United uses Terminal 1 for domestic flights and international departures, while international arrivals without preclearance generally use Terminal 5.
Shanghai is organised around the Huangpu River. The Bund looks across to Pudong’s towers, while Yuyuan Garden and nearby streets offer a different scale of buildings and shops. Museums and former lane neighbourhoods fill out a longer stay. Pudong International Airport is well east of central districts, so arriving visitors should decide whether a hotel is near People’s Square, the Bund or a metro interchange before choosing a transfer. The airport metro is useful, but its travel time is longer than the map may suggest.
People’s Square is useful for central metro connections, while the Bund suits a stay focused on the historic riverfront. A Pudong hotel places the towers on the same side of the Huangpu as the airport, but the district is large and the final station still matters. The Maglev reaches Longyang Road rather than the Bund itself; onward metro or road transport is needed. Metro Line 2 offers another route from Pudong Airport into the city.
Air India checks in at Terminal 2, at island K. The airport’s other terminal is a separate check-in building, and a domestic connection may require collecting bags and completing new departure formalities. Hongqiao is a different Shanghai airport, not another Pudong terminal. In town, the Bund promenade and a Pudong observation visit face each other across the river but need a crossing between them. Yuyuan Garden belongs to a smaller-scale old-city route, while People’s Square museums form another cluster. Museum of Art Pudong is on the newer waterfront side and has its own exhibition tickets. For a short visit, select one river crossing and build the day around the sights on either bank rather than repeatedly returning to the same metro interchange. Pudong Airport’s distance makes the last transfer a meaningful part of the departure day.
March to May or September to November, about 12–25°C, for riverside walks.
By Air: Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) is about 30 km east of downtown; Metro Line 2 takes about one hour to People’s Square. Airport Link rail, buses and taxis are alternatives.
By Rail: Shanghai Railway Station and Hongqiao Railway Station have long-distance services; Metro Line 2 reaches Pudong Airport.
By Road: Airport buses and taxis connect Pudong with central districts and the wider region.

Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG). Air India operates from Pudong Terminal 2, with check-in at island K. Both main terminals handle domestic and international operations, so flight type alone does not identify the correct building.
