Like others, my Chicago visit with my family was to GYY. Jet Center staff drove us over to the train and picked us up on the return, it was an easy ride into downtown. Check the train schedules to see if they comport with your schedule. We were tourists at the time, so depending on your specific plans a car might be easier, but it was all reasonably hassle free flying in and out of GYY.

Subject: [MU-2 list] Chicago Visit

Looking to go to Chicago in a few weeks to take my son to visit some schools downtown. When I lived there years ago, based plane at Waukegan (KUGN) but we lived up by Gurnee. Since downtown access is the goal, I'm looking at other potential airports.
Calls to PWK and MDW reveal some pretty high fees ($100/night, etc.) even for CAA members. GYY seems to be fee-free but a bit of a drive to downtown.
Any recommendation from those who live in the area or fly in to Chicago regularly.
thanks,
Dave
