I have a great tip...DON'T FLY ON SOUTHWEST AIRLINES!!! Their customer service SUCKS!!
This place is packed and you're always waiting is a sizable line for food that is subpar.
DO NOT check a bag. Midway takes 30 plus minutes to get them to the carousel!
Julia LundmanJune 1, 2010If you are flying through and have some time, go to Potbelly's for a hot sub sandwich. Da best!
A JJuly 19, 2016I dislike that this airport doesn't have shuttles between terminals! It's very difficult to maneuver at times.
International flights dump you on the outside of security. Way not cool! Asshats!
Dennis SladkyNovember 20, 2010Can't beat the free inflight wifi available on Airtran and through New Years Eve.
Marc MarinoJanuary 4, 2015I use southwest airlines, no money for suitcases. Can take paratransit bus to Mom's.
Please only take the Expert Lane if you truly do travel often.
The security lines to the right for elite passengers are many times longer than the other lines
Don't go try the EXPERT traveler lane if you are traveling with pets, carrying a wedding dress you refuse to check or don't understand the 3oz liquid rule. Your fellow travelers will appreciate it.
Brad HobackFebruary 1, 2012If you're flying out of gate A4a or A4b, pack a lunch. It's a loooong walk.
Purchase early bird check in for SWA, totally worth the $10!!
Lots of outlets and quiet bathrooms in the hallway toward gates A4A and A4B.
Disagree about "Expert" lane. Line is deceptively long when MDW is busy. I've been burned a few times. Make sure you check how long that line really is - it wraps around.
Flight delayed? Miller's Pub in Concourse B is definitely the spot to kill some time & have a cold beer.
At the security check point go to the far left or far right, the middle lanes move much slower
You can't go to Midway without going [to] Nuts on Clark.
The fly-by lane moved again. Now it is on the South side of the entrance.
Sprint's crappy wi-max 4G coverage is strongest in the A concourse.
I like Midway better than O'Hare, I think they are more efficient. Read more
Pilar ScratchAugust 18, 2011Get your luggage prior to calling your car service to avoid the hassle. The best, worst Airport I've been to.
Tony DunnAugust 15, 2010Better charge up all your devices. Plug in outlets here are hard to find and if you do find one you'll be standing up waiting for your device to charge
Over $50 to feed a family of three. The food options have deteriorated significantly. I expect to pay more at an airport...but I don't expect to be robbed.
