Midwest Furfest 2007

Chicago is served by two major airports: O'Hare International Airport and Midway Airport, with Midway being the smaller airport, more focused on discount carriers. For general information about the airports, as well as traffic and parking information, terminal maps, and available services, see the O'Hare website or the Midway website.

My Chauffeur Limousine Service (800-244-6200) offers service to and from O'Hare Airport to the Hyatt Regency Woodfield. For a shared car (may be multiple stops before reaching the hotel) each way is $34.90 per person. A private car (1-4 people that goes directly to your destination) is a flat rate of $56.90; this may be cheaper if you have three or more in your party. Each person more than four is an additional $5.50. If you use My Chauffeur, you can call the number above to make a reservation, then call them once you have arrived at O'Hare and they will pick you up. You can also call once you arrive at O'Hare and they will pick you up even without a reservation, though that may take a bit longer.
Taxis are also available. All Star Taxi and Limo Service (888-533-4240) offers a flat rate of $25 for up to four people to and from O'Hare. All Star Taxi has courtesy phones located at the Hotel / Transportation "Computer Kiosks" in the baggage claim area in all terminals. American Taxi (800-244-1177) charges $29 to and from O'Hare; you can also use the free phones at the O'Hare baggage claim to request a pickup from American Taxi; just dial "15". DO NOT use any other taxi service if at all possible - they will charge you "meter-and-a-half" to go from the city to the suburbs, and the fare will be in excess of $50.

Ground transportation from Midway is extremely expensive - one-way transportation will be at least $50 and likely much more. If you are flying into Midway and are on a budget, your best bet is to take the CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) Orange Line elevated train to downtown Chicago. Follow the directions in the “Travel By Train or Bus” section from there. The taxi companies mentioned above also service Midway and will cost approximately $50-60 each way to the hotel. My Chauffeur Limousine Service (800-244-6200) is also available: For a shared car (may be multiple stops before reaching the hotel) each way is $63.50 per person. A private car (1-3 people that goes directly to your destination) is a flat rate of $85.50; this may be cheaper if you have two or more in your party. DO NOT use any other taxi service if at all possible - they will charge you "meter-and-a-half" to go from the city to the suburbs, and the fare will be in excess of $90.

Questions? We can provide travel advice until Tuesday before the convention (at which point e-mail contact will be unreliable, if not nonexistent). Just e-mail Duncan or Neowolf.
