About this route
Pittsburgh to Chicago flights
Pittsburgh to Chicago connects two industrial cities that have reinvented themselves around tech, healthcare, and finance. United and American operate from O'Hare, while Southwest uses Midway. The short flight makes same-day business trips common.
O'Hare weather delays are the main concern on this route. The 1-hour timezone shift means afternoon Pittsburgh departures arrive in Chicago at roughly the same clock time. Pittsburgh's renovated airport offers a smooth departure experience.
