By Air
The South Bend International Airport is about 15 minutes by car from the Notre Dame campus (flights should be booked to South Bend, Indiana — airport code SBN).

Non-stop flights from Las Vegas, Orlando, and Tampa Bay are available with Allegiant Airlines on certain days. Upon arrival, various modes of transportation are available (e.g., uber, lyft, taxi, rental car, limo).
Visitors can also fly into Chicago then drive or take a train to Notre Dame. The University is about two hours by car from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and about 90 minutes from Midway International Airport.
By Train
The South Shore Line trains run directly from downtown Chicago to South Bend International Airport (about a 2.5 to 3-hour trip). From the airport, the Notre Dame campus is approximately a 15-minute ride by car. Various transportation methods are available (e.g., uber, lyft, taxi, rental car, limo).
Due to renovation work on the rails, a shuttle bus is provided for part of the trip. While this does not add to the travel time (normally), it is an inconvience, especially if you are bringing large or heavy bags.
