Your guide to booking Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport to Orlando Airport flights

  • If your dates are flexible, aim for a Tuesday departure and avoid flying on Sunday. On this route, Tuesday flights average $235, about $64 less than Sunday fares (21% savings) based on the last 12 months.
  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 5 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 29% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport to Orlando Airport trip for January. Fares historically average $187 round-trip in that month - typically $156 less than the most expensive month, which is June (based on the last 12 months).
  • For the best chance of arriving on time, fly with United Airlines. Over the past three months, 85% of United Airlines flights from Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport to Orlando Airport arrived on time, slightly above the route average of 81%. When flights on this route arrive late, they're delayed by an average of 2h 37m, so choosing an airline with strong on-time performance can make a difference if you're on a tight schedule.
  • If you have the time, taking a 1-stop flight through Philadelphia Airport (PHL) can be cheaper than flying direct. The cheapest layover option averages $144 round-trip on this route - about $125 less than direct flights (based on the last 12 months).
  • If you're arriving late at night and need somewhere to stay, check out these hotels close to Orlando Airport.

    • Ramada by Wyndham Suites Orlando Airport
    • Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport
    • Marriott Orlando Airport Lakeside
  • Chicago is served by Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW) and O'Hare International Airport (ORD). Typically, ORD is busier than MDW, so if you want to avoid long queues, consider booking flights from Chicago Midway Airport.
  • O’Hare is one of the busiest airports in the country in terms of passenger traffic. Therefore, when flying out of this airport, arrive at least 4h before your flight is scheduled for departure. That should allow you enough time to go through the long security queues.
  • Consider the offsite parking lots if you plan to leave your car at the airport, whether O’Hare or Chicago Midway. They are often cheaper than the onsite parking lots.
  • To get wheelchair assistance at Orlando International Airport (MCO), inform your airline at least 48h before your flight is scheduled to depart. This gives them enough time to organize with the airport officials such that you’ll have a wheelchair waiting for you as soon as you land.
  • If you’re traveling with an infant and are looking for a place to nurse them, MCO Airport has private nursing rooms. They can be found in the hallway leading to Gates 70-99.
