Common Nonstop Destinations from Chicago and Los Angeles: 137 Shared Routes

This page compares the full metro areas of Chicago (ORD, MDW) and Los Angeles (LAX, BUR, SNA, ONT) and lists every destination both cities can reach on a nonstop flight: 137 in all, across 32 countries and 9 regions. For each one you can see the flight time and distance from CHI and from LAX, so the trade-off between the two legs is clear at a glance.

Use the map to see how far the options spread, then check the meet-in-the-middle pick (Denver has the smallest gap in flight distance here) before opening the full table to sort all 137 shared routes. To filter by month and check live fares, open the Midway app with Chicago and Los Angeles already loaded.

Each row is a destination both cities reach nonstop. The two right-hand columns give the flight time and distance from CHI and from LAX. When those two legs are close, the trip splits evenly between Chicago and Los Angeles. Open the full table in Midway to sort by either leg or filter by month.
