Stump BeefKnob Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Booked our airline tickets, got the time off work, and booked the hotel room, all without doing as much research as I probably should have. I got a great price on the airline, flying from Mesa, AZ straight to what I thought was Chicago. As it turns out, we are actually going to be flying into Rockford/Chicago, which I naively assumed was the same as Chicago. So, long story short...we are landing in Rockford on the 15th and will have to commute to the conference. It appears that I will be about 70 miles away from the hotel? I am assuming that the airport shuttle isn't going to take us (or will they ) For for those who may know, what would be the best way to get there? Car rental? Train? Horsedrawn buggy? Is anyone else going to be landing at that airport? Any info would be appreciated! I am pumped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHfather Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Here's one data point . . . If I'm reading this right, it says under the "Fares" tab that it's $20 one way for the hour-and-a-half trip from Rockford to O'Hare. http://www.coachusa.com/vangalder/ss.details.asp?action=Lookup&c1=Rockford&s1=IL&c2=Chicago+O%27Hare+Airport&s2=IL&resultId=2222&order=&dayFilter=&scheduleChoice=&sitePageName=&cbid=962196355703 Of course, you then have to get from O'Hare to the hotel . . .

clustermom13 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I had to take the coach bus once from Chicago back to Michigan. Was a nice arrangement. I recommend it. Then you should still be able to take the shuttle to the hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stump BeefKnob Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 We rented a car and got a pretty good deal, so this issue is essentially solved. Next time I will know better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psiloscribe Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Haha, I didnt even know Rockford had an airport. Bring some change for the tollway Kyle. Its not a bad drive as I take it quite often. At least you'll have a car in Chicago....;-) Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
