Trains run every 6 to 10 minutes day and evenings, and every 30 minutes overnight. Trips take 40 to 45 minutes. The Blue Line from O'Hare can be taken to the Monroe terminal. The Orange Line from Midway can be taken to the Quincy terminal. The Airport Express also has stops outside baggage claim areas departing every 5-15 minutes, with adult one way fares from $11.00 to $15.00. Be sure to let the driver know your hotel.
