Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from PDL to ORD last minute?
Being spontaneous is a fabulous way to see the world, but it’s not always the smartest method to track down a bargain airfare. It’s better to book your Joao Paulo II Airport (PDL) to ORD journey in advance rather than leaving it until the last minute. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. Save up that spontaneity for when you’re discovering ORD!

From Ponta Delgada, you can fly into Chicago through O’Hare Intl. Airport (ORD), Midway Intl. Airport (MDW) and Lewis University Airport (LOT).
