How far is Hanoi airport to Train Station?

How far is the train station from OHare airport?

Ugh, O’Hare. That place is a nightmare. The train? Forty-four minutes, they say. Ridiculous. I swear it took me an hour last time, maybe longer. Traffic was insane.

Subway, huh? $2-$5. Cheap enough. Though, my last cab ride from O’Hare cost me a fortune – like, $50, no joke. I need to use that subway more often. Save money.

Central Station. Is that the same as Union Station? Always get those confused.

Key things to remember:

• Travel time: Expect at least 44 minutes via subway.
• Cost: Subway fare should be between $2 and $5.
• Alternative: Cabs are expensive. Really, really expensive.

Seriously considering just ordering an Uber next time. Maybe it’ll be faster, even if more expensive than the train. Or maybe I should finally learn to drive. I’m 32 and still can’t drive. Pathetic.

My brother’s wedding is in June. I hope the trains are less crowded then. He’s getting married in Wicker Park. It is supposed to be lovely. That’s way further than the airport, though.

What’s for dinner? I’m starving. Pizza? Nah. Too much cheese. Maybe Thai food? Thai is always good.

What is Hanoi railway station called?

Hanoi’s main railway station is known as Ga Hà Nội, or simply Hanoi Station. It serves as a crucial hub, connecting several key routes. It’s kinda wild to think how many journeys begin there.

• Five of the seven active Vietnam Railways routes terminate here.
• Think Reunification Express. That’s the big one, North to South.

Besides the Reunification Express, there’s the line to Lào Cai, near Sapa. Also, the Hanoi–Haiphong Railway hums with activity. It is a critical node, reflecting the nation’s connectivity ambitions. Trains, like rivers, connect disparate points, right?

How much is a taxi from Hanoi to airport?

Ten, twelve dollars. Echoes in my mind. Dark outside now. Like that trip. November, December chill. Hanoi air. Streetlights blurring. Remember the ride. So tired. Just wanted to get there.

• $10-$12 USD each way. That sticks with me.
• Grab. Definitely an option. Used it other times.
• Airport taxi. Pre-booked online once. Forgot the price. More than Grab.
• Old Quarter. Stayed there. Narrow streets. Remember the motorbike dodging. Crazy.

My hotel… West of Hoan Kiem Lake. Near that little temple. Quiet street, surprisingly. Maybe the fare was a little more. Hard to recall now. Just that feeling… relief, getting out of the airport. Into the city.

• Consider traffic. Can add time and cost.
• Book in advance. Especially if arriving late.
• Double-check price. Before you get in. Always. Learned that the hard way once. In Bangkok. Different story. But still.
• 2023. Prices change. This is just my experience.

So tired. Should sleep. Hanoi nights… still hear them sometimes. Street vendors calling out. The scent of something cooking. Spicy. Wish I could go back. Maybe someday.

Does OHare airport have a train station?

No, O’Hare doesn’t have a train station in the traditional sense. Think more “intermodal transit hub.”

The CTA Blue Line’s O’Hare station is underground, directly linked to Terminals 1, 2, and 3. Getting there from Terminal 5 requires a free shuttle. A bit clunky, but functional. It’s a testament to how sprawling airports can be!

• Blue Line access: Excellent for downtown Chicago access. A lifesaver for avoiding those crazy airport ride-share lines.
• Free shuttle: Connects Terminal 5. A small inconvenience, but hey, it’s free.
• Underground location: Convenient, weather-protected. But, you know, slightly disorienting the first time.

The whole setup isn’t perfect. It’s a little less intuitive than a dedicated station above ground. Yet, it works surprisingly well. The efficiency of it all is somewhat impressive. It speaks to clever engineering, even if the aesthetics leave something to be desired. I actually prefer this setup to some other airports’ complicated systems.

I took this route last July on my trip back from a conference in San Francisco. The shuttle was prompt. The Blue Line, predictably, was crowded during rush hour. A tiny adventure all in itself. The whole experience, while slightly labyrinthine, felt efficient and, dare I say, slightly charming.
