Getting to the Blue Line from Terminals 1, 2 or 3

You can walk from the baggage claim to the train in under ten minutes from any of these three terminals.

 
Getting to the Blue Line from Terminal 5

If you're coming from international flights that land in Terminal 5, follow signs to the Airport Transit System (ATS). Ride the next train to Terminal 2 and exit the train at the station. Then, follow signs to "CTA Trains" or "Trains to City."
