For a direct flight, I have to go out of O'Hare, which means: 2 hours CTA to O'Hare + 2 hours in O'Hare + roughly 2 hours for flight + hour to get luggage and get to my parents' house = 7 hours of misery, IF everything goes well. With the train, it's about 12 hours of travel time total, but for most of those I'm sitting in the same chair, sleeping or whatever. And there isn't any of that "security" bullshit.
