About this route
Chicago to Dallas links two of the busiest airports in the world — O'Hare and DFW — with United and American battling for dominance. Both carriers offer high-frequency service with premium cabin options, and the route carries enormous connecting traffic in both directions.
With no timezone change, scheduling is straightforward, but both airports are susceptible to severe weather delays. ORD is prone to winter snowstorms and summer thunderstorms, while DFW sees tornado-season convective activity. Landing alerts help travelers navigate the uncertainty at two of America's most delay-prone airports.
