Dallas to Chicago Travel Guide

Chicago is a large, diverse city known for spectacular architecture, an eclectic arts scene, and lakeside activities along Lake Michigan. A highlight of any trip to this city is Navy Pier, where you can spend time enjoying the shops, restaurants, gardens, parks, and theaters lined along the lake. Art lovers will want to stop by the Art Institute of Chicago or take an architectural boa tour down the Chicago River. There is plenty of evening entertainment to choose from, including the Second City comedy club, Lyric Opera of Chicago, and Shakespeare Theater. Best of all, you can have access to all Chicago has to offer in less than two hours when you choose a direct flight from Dallas.

Both Dallas and Chicago are large cities with much to see and do, so travelers used to city life will feel at home in Chicago. The city is more compact than Dallas, with a larger population, so it may feel more crowded. Sports is a large draw in both cities. Dallas Cowboys fans may be able to catch their team playing the Chicago Bears, while fans of the Mavericks can head to United Center Arena to see them play the Bulls. Chicago's climate is different than Dallas, with cold, snowy winters. If traveling during the winter months, be sure to invest in a good pair of boots, warm coat, gloves, scarves, and a hat. Summers can be hot and humid, so pack lightweight clothing if traveling in this season.

    To fly more sustainably, follow these steps: first, carry only what you deem necessary. Avoid overpacking and carrying unnecessary luggage, as this tends to overload the plane. Heavier planes use more fuel to fly, meaning more carbon is introduced into the atmosphere. Second, since you have the option to fly directly to Chicago from Dallas, book a nonstop flight. Avoid booking the cheaper connecting flights since they take off and land twice, introducing much more carbon into the atmosphere. Third, book a flight with an airline that offers a carbon offset program to play your part in reducing the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Finally, bring your own reusable bottle and headphones on the flight and avoid single-use plastics and disposable headsets.
