Flight Deals from Chicago to Algiers from $523

There is no nonstop service between Chicago and Algiers, so a connection is required. The route is about 4,641 miles.

Methodology

Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

There are no non-stop flights from Chicago to Algiers. The shortest connecting routing is on United Airlines via Rome Fiumicino, taking 12 hours 25 minutes total — a 9-hour 5-minute leg to Rome, an 85-minute layover, and a 1-hour 55-minute hop on ITA Airways into Algiers. Air France via Paris and United via Paris (connecting to Air Algérie) are the next quickest options at 13 hours 20 minutes.

Methodology

Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

Getting from Houari Boumediene Airport into central Algiers is easiest by taxi, which is the most-used option and takes about 30 to 50 minutes depending on traffic; agree on the fare before you set off. A suburban rail line links the airport station directly to Agha station downtown in about 20 minutes, with trains running roughly every hour from early morning until late evening. Airport buses and ETUSA lines also serve the city center, and ride-hailing is available through local apps Yassir and Heetch rather than Uber or Bolt. Car rental is not offered at the airport station, so taxis and the train are your most practical choices.

There are no nonstop red-eye flights from Chicago to Algiers, but overnight connecting itineraries are available. The most common routing is an overnight leg from Chicago to Paris (CDG) on Air France or United, departing in the 17:10–18:10 window and arriving in Paris the next morning at 08:15–09:20, before connecting onward to Algiers. Other overnight options route through London Heathrow on United or British Airways (departing 16:25–21:30, arriving 06:45–11:55 the next morning) or through Frankfurt and Rome, with connections on Air Algérie, Lufthansa, British Airways, or ITA Airways.

Methodology

Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

There is no nonstop service between Chicago and Algiers; travelers connect through European hubs. The most common one-stop routings are on Air France via Paris CDG, United Airlines via London Heathrow, and Turkish Airlines via Istanbul, each operating several flights weekly. United also connects via Rome FCO, Barcelona, and Frankfurt, while Lufthansa serves the route via Frankfurt. The quickest option is United via Rome on ITA Airways at about 12 hours 25 minutes total, while Air France via Paris offers the most frequent connections.

Algiers has one main airport, Houari Boumediene Airport, located about 16 km southeast of downtown. It serves all international and domestic flights for the city.

From downtown Chicago, the CTA Blue Line 'L' train is the most popular and economical way to reach O'Hare, running 24/7 and taking about 45 minutes from the Loop; the station is integrated with the terminals. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, as well as taxis, pick up at designated areas and take roughly 30 to 40 minutes in normal traffic, offering greater convenience at a higher cost. Metra's North Central Service also links Union Station to O'Hare via the Multi Modal Facility, and Pace buses serve the airport from nearby suburbs. Driving and parking is straightforward via I-190, with several parking options available, though the Blue Line remains the fastest and most reliable choice for most travelers.

Methodology

Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.
