Frequently asked questions

How much does a Chicago holiday package cost?
You’ll find cheap prices on Expedia for your Chicago escape. However, a range of factors like the season, length of stay and your choice of hotel will determine how much your holiday to Chicago costs.
What are the cheapest months to go to Chicago?
December, January and February are the best times to look for cheap Chicago holiday packages. Opting to travel in quieter periods means you’ll typically find lower prices on accommodation and flights.
How many days is enough for Chicago?
To fully enjoy a Chicago holiday, we recommend booking for 2 days. Divide your time between visiting Michigan Avenue, Chicago Riverwalk and other well-known attractions, on top of experiencing neighbourhoods like Central Chicago and Near North Side. If you’ve got some spare time, include a day trip or tour in your Chicago holiday itinerary.
Is it worth booking a holiday package to Chicago?
Chicago has everything you need for a fantastic trip — views, dining and culture are just the start. Whether you want to visit attractions like Navy Pier and Soldier Field, or take the road less traveled, you’ll find plenty to do on your Chicago holiday.
How to find the best Chicago package deals?
Use Expedia’s filters to find some great Chicago package deals. When you start your search, just set your maximum budget and then order the results by “Price: low to high.” If you want to save, plan your trip for midweek, or browse for Chicago package deals in the low season. Switch up your travel dates and you may land even bigger discounts. As a rule of thumb, it’s typically best to lock in your holiday package well in advance.
Is it cheaper to book a Chicago holiday as a package?
Expedia holiday packages are designed to help you keep more money in your pocket. Bundle your hotel, car rental and flight into one great-value price and enjoy significant savings. You’ll usually score a better deal than booking each component separately. And you’ll still have the freedom to create a customised Chicago holiday by choosing your favourite accommodation type, airline and car class.
