Chicago (ORD)
O'Hare International Airport (ORD) serves as one of the busiest and most iconic aviation gateways in the world, functioning as a primary hub for both United Airlines and American Airlines. Located approximately 17 miles northwest of the Chicago Loop, the airport features four operational terminals and a vast array of local dining options, including legendary deep-dish pizza and high-end bistros. Navigating ORD is relatively straightforward thanks to the recently modernized Airport Transit System (ATS), which connects all terminals, parking lots, and the Multi-Modal Facility efficiently.

Miami International Airport (MIA) is the primary gateway to the Latin American region and a major international hub for American Airlines. Situated just a few miles west of downtown Miami, the airport is well-known for its sprawling layout and diverse international atmosphere that reflects the city's cultural heritage. Travelers can enjoy a variety of unique amenities, including local Cuban coffee ventanitas and high-end duty-free shopping. Its proximity to the Port of Miami also makes it the preferred starting point for thousands of cruise passengers heading to the Caribbean each week.
