Angelica WarrenSeptember 11, 2014Um this airport has a free yoga studio?! Yes please! Definitely took advantage of that...
David BowmanJune 10, 2013Move far right security line to avoid full body scans. But the NSA is tracking everything else in your life, so your efforts are futile.
Fernando FloresJune 27, 2014Mecca of connecting flights! Carry on light stuff if possible - 40 minute layovers can get trying.
Daniela DBOctober 13, 2014Small, enough places to have lunch, lines for customs moves relatively fast. Friendly staff
Katie WhitfieldNovember 27, 2012There are several good vegetarian options, including salads and falafel, in concourse B
Of you ever travel to hyde park by taxi from here, tell the driver to take the 55th street. Don't let them take the highway!
While Southwest typically charges the fare difference to standby, if your flight is delayed 15 minutes or more they can waive the difference!
Love coming through here vs ORD when returning from international travel!💜💗
Margot BloomsteinMarch 22, 2012Hit Pegasus on the Fly in the main food court area for terrific breakfast and great Greek hand food anytime.
Kelly ConradMay 18, 2013You can't check your bags at Southwest until 4 hours before your flight. If your hotel checkout is 11am and your flight isnt til 8pm, ask your hotel to hold your bags.
If you're flying on southwest and think putting your stuff on the seat next to you will stop me from sitting there, you're mistaken. Thanks
You can get drinks to go (walk around the terminal)! Check out Reilly's Daughter Pub.
If you use the electronic boarding pass please note midway isn't always prepared for it as they have only 1 or 2 scanners. One is always In priority so instead of waiting in lone just go over.
No need to throw out that empty water bottle - use this refilling station near the food court!
DoubleTree by HiltonSeptember 27, 2011Early bird gets the legroom. Travel as early in the day as possible to avoid crowds and getting bumped by passengers who got bumped or cancelled earlier in the day.
Midway Airport has the best selection of food options of any U.S. airport IMHO.
Christine BAugust 7, 2011Great service at potbelly sandwich works - long line served very quickly - and it's a great sandwich!
Clifton CraigNovember 2, 2013Fly Southwest! The chairs at their terminals are equipped with electric outlets and they it mad jokes!
Many healthy food alternative just after you get through security, eat healthy when you travel
Keep opening more crappy restaurants no one has heard of, now at the expense of places to plug in and work. Who’s running this place?
Best city ever! Harry carrays does a heavy pour and gives you to go cups for your bloody mary
Gold Coast Dogs isn’t just for hotdogs. They have decent breakfast sandwiches, too.
Precheck surprisingly slow compared to other airports, but still faster than regular security.
Adding some new eateries here. Potbelly and Pork Chop are up and running.
The folks that work for Southwest Airlines are the best !!!
GE AviationMarch 1, 2012Chicago Midway International is recognized as one of the Southwest Airlines airports to adopt Required Navigation Performance (RNP), which drastically saves time, fuel and reduces CO2 emissions. Read more
Have a corned beef and potato pancakes at Manny's Express beside gate B14. Ask if they have applesauce for the pancakes!
Vasu MirmiraAugust 7, 2018Soooo much better than O’Hare, and they’re planning modernization efforts soon!
Amanda HardestyMay 31, 2013Super short runaway - be prepared for quick landings and steep take-offs!
Jeremy MalechaMay 3, 2013Literally THE WORST tsa screening In the US. I travel a ton. Get there early. On a Friday at 11am it took 1 hour from the end of line to clear the X-ray. Pay for business select
if there's a line to check bags; sky cap is really fast and so what if you have to hang outside for a few, it saves time!! southwest for the win
Sunday early am is a mob scene - get there well in advance
Summer JohnstonSeptember 23, 2011Southwest is pretty awesome. Cute flight attendants and you choose where to sit (and who to sit by)
If you have your act together, the TSA process here can be quick and painless.
Give yourself extra time to get to and from the Economy Lot. They must only have one bus. The wait time is terrible.
Emily DornblaserJuly 17, 2013At the really long southwest line for bag check go to the Kiosk, print your pass, then go to the express bag check line. WAY FASTER
The moving walkway is not a ride. Please keep walking or politely step to the side. :)
To save time on baggage checking, go to Skycap. Way faster and worth a few bucks!
Looking to eat healthy? Get a salad at Springs in terminal B than go nxt door to McDONALD'S and get the classic chicken sandwich w no mayo and removed the bun.
James PatrickMarch 3, 2012For the love of all that is holy, do not choose the center security line. You'll lose your sanity or miss your flight. Go left.
Sharae Ruffin-SledgeApril 9, 2013This airport doesn't have Garrett's Popcorn (O'Hare does) but they have a place called Nuts on Clark that's pretty good although Garrett's is better. This one will suffice.
