Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from O'Hare Airport to EIL last minute?
Booking your journey from O'Hare Airport to EIL at the last minute could save you a tidy sum if you hit the jackpot and find a real bargain. However, airfares generally don't get cheaper closer to the departure date. If you take a wait-and-see approach, flights could also be booked solid or the best seats gone (because no one wants the middle seat). If you don't want to hedge your bets, book well in advance of your departure date. Keep in mind that some of the best deals can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your favorite airline hasn't released tickets yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia all the time.
What airports do you fly into for Fairbanks North Star Borough from Chicago?
Fairbanks (EIL-Eielson Air Force Base), Fairbanks Intl. Airport (FAI) and Wainwright Army Airfield Airport (FBK) are your choices when taking off from Chicago to Fairbanks North Star Borough. Around 32 kilometers southeast of the heart of Fairbanks North Star Borough, Fairbanks (EIL-Eielson Air Force Base) is the city's main entry point. Take into account factors like flight arrival and departure times and the distance to your hotel before you select an airport. Fairbanks Ice Museum and University of Alaska-Fairbanks are two top attractions to visit when you arrive.
Can I change the date of my flight from O'Hare Airport to EIL?
Plans can change, so Expedia is here to help make amending your trip as easy as possible. To start, access your O'Hare Intl. Airport (ORD) to EIL itinerary through the Expedia Trips portal and look up the ticket rules and conditions about what sorts of changes are allowed.
