What is cheapest way to travel from Chicago to Toronto?
I have a chance of a life time to audition for a gig but since I found out about it today that gives me a week to plan. I’ve been able to book flights and hotels last minute because I was familiar with the area and knew the ins and outs but now I am entering unfamiliar territory. Bus, Amtrak, airlines with deals. This is the off season (I work in tourism/hospitality) so does anyone know of anything. Please no smart ass remarks or criticisms.
Thanks. Amntrak is the way I’m going. $94 each way and takes about a day to get there.
go to BookMe. You can compare prices on all the major travel sites from one location. It’s the only way you can guarantee the cheapest prices online.

During the ’40’s, how many times did commuter trains travel from Peoria, Illinois to Chicago?
I’m working on a story set during 1945-1947 and want to be historically correct on certain elements. I have characters traveling to and from Peoria, Illinois and Chicago. I discovered that the Rocket took about 2 1/2 hours to make that run one-way, but I’m unable to find information on how many times a day the Rocket, or anyother commuter train, traveled between these two major cities during this particular era. I am hoping that someone here can help me.
Below is the 1948 timetable. Peoria was not on the main line route of the Rockets. It was served by a spur line. See map below:
http://www.rockrail.com/maps.html
There were 2 daily trains from Peoria to Chgo. The 502 left at 7 AM to arrive 2:40 later and the 504 at 3 PM for a 2:45 trip. From Chgo there was the 501 at 10:35 AM and the 503 at 7 PM. Both outbound trains made the trip in 2:35.
You may have to zoom in to 300% to see clearly:

The Illinois Central served both Chicago and Peoria but there wasn’t a direct route between them:

Hi, please could anyone advise me, which are the cheap airlines to use for travel between Chicago - Vancouver?
I’m planning to travel from London UK in July to the East USA starting in Boston and over a three month period make my way West, with a trip to Canada thrown in too. Please can you advise me of what a the good international/domestic airlines i should look out for.
Many thanks
Hayley
Hi Hayley
There are a few airlines you could use and look up at to, the price depends on how early you buy them, what season (High or low) you come to and the stops you are willing to make.
Some airlies you should take a look to are:
Southwest Airlines (Domestic US flghts only)
Alaska Airlines (International flights including US-CANADA-US flights)
United Airlines (Domestic and International flights)
Air Canada (Flights between US and Canada)
American Airlines (International and Domestic flights)…….The least option
So hope you have found this helpful and have a nice trip =).

Where-other than Costco- can I buy beef brisket in Chicago?
Where-other than Costco- can I buy beef brisket in Chicago? Everywhere I go, I can never find it. Please help. I have a dinner tomorrow and need to cook a brisket for 20 people.
Peoria Packing Butcher Shop 1300 W. Lake St, (312)738-1800 has excellent fresh meats. You can actually pick up your own meat and have the butcher’s trim it for you if you like.Wear a light jacket or sweater because it is rather cool in that part of the store. Also try Park packing Co. 4107 S. Ashland Ave. (773) 254-0100. These stores are in the meat packing district and there are other stores around just as well. If you are in the Lake St. area you have a lot of choices of stores. I recommend Peoria’s though.
