Getting to Chicago for Latino Travel Fest 2025
Ready to jet set to Chi-town for the most empowering travel event of the year? Here’s everything you need to know to plan your trip to Latino Travel Fest 2025, happening June 20–22, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois!
Fly into Chicago
The best airport to fly into is O’Hare International Airport (ORD). It’s one of the busiest airports in the U.S. and offers plenty of direct and connecting flights from across the country and around the world.
Travel tip: If you’re flying domestic and want a smaller, more central option, Chicago Midway Airport (MDW) is another great choice!
Getting from the Airport to Downtown
From O’Hare (ORD):
Take the Blue Line train (CTA) directly from the airport into downtown Chicago. It runs 24/7 and takes about 45 minutes.
From Midway (MDW):
Hop on the Orange Line for an easy ride into the city.
CTA Travel Card Info
To get around Chicago like a local, we recommend buying a Ventra Card, which works for both buses and trains.
You can:
- Buy a Ventra Card at the airport train stations or most CTA stations
- Load a 1-day, 3-day, or 7-day unlimited ride pass depending on your stay
- Use your phone with the Ventra App for contactless rides!
