CAUTION: The Kennedy expressway (I 90) often backs up all the way from the loop to ORD on Friday afternoons. Take the CTA Blue line. $1.50 right into terminal 2. It runs in the subway in the loop. I can't remember if it's the State Street or Dearborn subway. They are a block apart and both very near the Palmer House. Good luck. </font>
The Blue Line is under Dearborn St.
Once you get on the train, it takes about 55-60 minutes to get from near the Palmer House to ORD.
Important: Bring exact change for your $1.50 fare on the CTA. Some turnstyles accept coins. All stations have farecard vending machines that are easy to use and accept bills and coins. Buy a farecard for each pax. Of course, try to get a foreward facing seat.
BTW, the rear of car #2 (enter at the train's 4th door) has a seat with 60" of legroom!
Enjoy!!!
