From ORD airport to Malta
Reaching O'Hare International
CTA Blue Line (24/7, $5 one-way, 40-45 min from Loop/downtown Chicago during normal traffic, often faster than driving)—board at any downtown station, runs directly to all terminals. Rideshare (Uber/Lyft, $28-42 during off-peak, $50-75 during rush hour 6-10am or 3-7pm from downtown, 25-40 min depending on traffic). Taxi flat rate $42 from downtown Loop, 35-50 min. Rental car pickup in Terminal 1 or off-site shuttles available. Best option: CTA Blue Line if traveling light and flexible on time; Uber/Lyft if arriving after 10pm when Blue Line gets sketchy.
Planning Chicago to Malta
Malta is a Mediterranean microstate — medieval fortresses, Knights Templar history, Blue Lagoon boat trips, and a mix of Italian, British, and Arabic influences. Valletta (capital) is stunning, Mdina is a medieval walled city, and the beaches (Gozo, Comino) are worth the ferry. English is widely spoken (former British colony).
