Passengers approaching Chicago from the southern states, like Texas, particularly Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, may take between 2-3 hours to get to their destinations. The relatively short distance between Chicago and other states means that a majority of the flights are direct. If you end up taking a flight with a layover, your flight might take half a day.
