When departing from London's Heathrow airport, remember that even direct flights from London to Chicago take about 9 hours; with stopovers, that can go up dramatically. When you arrive for your London to Chicago flights, be prepared for a wait as you go through security. If you are planning on driving to the airport for your London to Chicago flights, you should plan to book a parking space in advance online at the Heathrow car park; if traveling by public transport, check the Heathrow website for possible strikes and other issues that might slow you down, and other alternative routes. Taxis are always available, and there are shuttle buses offered from many of the local hotels.
