Chicago Midway Airport by David Guenthner

7 August 2007   Customer Rating :

With the new concourses, it's a good domestic connecting option. Gate areas seemed clean and I could find a chair near my boarding queue. The B concourse (Southwest/ATA) is very long but there is a moving walkway down most of it. I thought the concessions were quite good, but there was not enough seating in the food court area.

Midway, for the size of it, is quite busy. Flew Southwest MDW - SEA in July. Check-in was quite quick, but the line for security was very long. We ended up waiting twenty minutes to clear it. There are a limited number of seating areas at the airport, only a few for each gate. However, the airport was a lot better than O'Hare. Due to the length of the runways, you have a lot of heavy breaking once you touch down, but I don't mind it that much. Overall, it was a convenient and manageable airport to fly through.

What a nice little airport! I was flying ATL-MDW-SEA and had a couple of hours in between flights each way. Midway was very clean and easy to navigate through. Decent selection of shops too. Flights were right on time and there wasn't much taxi time at all. We were always 1st or 2nd in line for takeoff. I will gladly fly through Midway again.

My daughter and I flew from Midway to Charlotte North Carolina in April 2003 and what a fantastic airport. We were very happy with the airport staff. The whole airport impressed us. Also in April 2003 we flew to Las Vegas from Midway : what a jolly crowd of passengers. We did have a delay but because all the passengers were in such a holiday mood it made the wait all that more bearable.

I just returned to Midway on Sunday. We decided to use the parking available there at the airport because it is very reasonable. Security however is nowhere to be found. The bus drivers do not make sure all the passengers from the parking lot is off before the departing to go home passengers come aboard. The result of this, is my wallet was stolen. Welcome Home! When security was notified by me they really did not want to hear my story so I thought you might. I will never use the parking at the airport again.

I have to agree with the the previous two comments. I was not expecting much from Chicago's "second airport" but wow what a great airport. Many shops and cafes. I flew in at an early hour and most everything was open. Given a choice, I would much rather fly through Midway than O'hara. Just a well done airport.

As a weekly flyer in and out of Chicago, I am used to using O'hare. I went through Midway for the first time and its one of the nicest, if not small, airports in the US. Extremely easy to navigate, eating and shopping areas are pleasant and the whole airport is very modern. It is also a snap to get to the city center on the Orange Line "El" train.

Just returned from a trip MDW-PHX-MDW. Wow what a change from old Midway. Chicago Midway new terminal does not even resemble the old crowded Midway airport. A lot of room around the check-in counters and in the departure hall. A large corridor that connects the departure hall with the gates area. This corridor serves as a security check-point waiting line. Very large and roomy, and can accomodate easily everyone. Departed during the peak hours of 7-9 am. Large food court and decent shoping option. The new gates area is roomy with plenty of seating space. If you are unlucky to use the old gates though (Southwest still uses some of the old gates) the same old very dense area, with very tired look and feel. But these are phased out gradually. When returned docked at a remote gate and had to walk quite a bit to connect to the new terminal arrival hall. Once in the arrival hall, luggage carousels are quite big, and not too crowded. There are security personnel that make sure before you leave that you picked the baggage that belongs to you, and not someone's else. Good connection to the loop via train, only $1.50. Midway is a decent less crowded alternative to O'Hare. Wish more major carriers will start serving it more often.
