IMHO, the best option for the OP is to use Metra North Central Line. It is the easiest, most comfortable way to go.
The Blue Line from Clinton is slow, uncomfortable, and makes 21 stops before arriving at O'Hare.
OK - you've convinced me that the Metra option is worth a try.
Now, advice on my particular situation. The LaSalle stop on the Blue line is literally 100 feet outside my front door. Is it worth schlepping over to Union Station to catch the Metra or should I just stick with the Blue line. (which is/was derailed this morning, BTW. No service to ORD)
One real advantage of the blue line for me (besides my monthly pass!) is that I don't need to worry about coordinating with the Metra schedule - I just leave in time to catch my flight.
