Tinley Park sits much closer to Midway's side of the metro area than to O'Hare, but the published sedan fares to the two airports are almost equal. That means airport selection should be driven by the flight schedule first and ground transportation second.

Rock Island Metra Is Useful — but Not Direct to ORD
Tinley Park has strong commuter rail service toward LaSalle Street Station. For O'Hare, the traveler still needs to connect to the CTA Blue Line. Current trip-planning options put the full train-and-subway journey at around 1 hour 36 minutes, so it works best when schedule flexibility matters more than door-to-door speed.
O'Hare Trips Need a Wider Traffic Buffer
The O'Hare road trip is roughly 36 miles and can be around 48–50 minutes in favorable conditions. Rush hour, I-294 congestion and weather can add meaningful time, so flight-day planning matters more than the normal drive estimate.
