The Dallas to Chicago route at a glance
Both ends of this route are American hubs, and it's roughly 800 miles from Dallas/Fort Worth to Chicago O'Hare, a flight of about two and a quarter hours. There's no time change to think about, since both cities are on Central time, which makes scheduling a same-day business trip a little simpler than routes that cross a time zone. Chicago's O'Hare can see winter weather delays, so it's worth checking the forecast if you're traveling in that season.
Tips for this route
- Chicago winters and Dallas thunderstorms can both cause delays. Leave room on any itinerary with a connection.
- Chicago has a second airport, Midway. Tell us if it suits you and we’ll compare.
