Why the Fox Valley flies from O’Hare
The longer drive often wins.
Nonstops and international
Green Bay and Appleton have a handful of daily departures. O’Hare has nonstops to almost everywhere and the international connections, so one ride replaces a connection and a layover. See international flights from Wisconsin.
Fares for families
For a family of four, a lower O’Hare fare can cover much of the ride. We quote the round trip so you can compare.
When the regional flight cancels
A cancelled connection at GRB or ATW often means the next seat is out of O’Hare. Call dispatch and we drive you down, or bring you home when you land at O’Hare.
Flight cancelled at Green Bay or Appleton?
We can drive you to O’Hare for a rebooked flight, or home from O’Hare.

Local notes from dispatch
Long drive, simple road.
I-41 to I-94
The trip is I-41 south to Milwaukee and I-94 to Chicago. The only slow points are Milwaukee and the Edens; dispatch times the pickup around them.
Rest stop
On a 3-hour ride we can stop for coffee or a restroom; ask the chauffeur.
Winter
North of Fond du Lac, I-41 can be slow in snow. Dispatch moves the pickup earlier and tells you the night before.
Which vehicle
Premium SUV, up to 6
Seats six with luggage for most trips; the usual choice for families, couples and business travelers. SUV service.
Sprinters, 13 to 15
Groups ride together with all the bags: the Executive Sprinter seats 13 and the Mercedes Sprinter 15. Groups over 15 travel as two vehicles.
