Lisa LOctober 12, 2013Empty travel water bottle fill station only in the first section of the b terminal. All else just regular water fountains
Katherine GoldmanMarch 20, 2011Potbelly's: got a small sandwich, 2 drinks and a bag of chips for under $10. Yummy yummy!
When walking out of baggage claim outside to curb. Smell it. That's south side Chicago. Your nostrils will thank you.
Clarke MacbethJuly 7, 2014The best part about flying through Midway is that you're not flying through O'Hare.
Must get something from Nuts on Clark if you didn't get any in Chicago downtown or at the ballpark.
New security checkpoint configuration is chaotic at best and has not been planned effectively at all. I.e. it sux
There is a Red Mango hiding past B19. Tasty and healthy parfaits and smoothies
If you are heading to the suburbs via taxi 303 Taxi gives the best service and reasonable rates!!
Ann HandleyFebruary 3, 2012Pegasus on the Fly between B & A has decent greek yogurt. If that matters as much to you as it does me.
Watch out for the grab and go kiosk by gate A4A...its the only "cash only" place in the friggin airport!
If you have a early AM flight. Get here at least 90 minutes prior to your check-in. Wait for security 30 minutes.
Priority / Fly By lane is now on the far left. Now has a dedicated security screening area and much faster.
Other than not having Pre-Check and no Sky Club, this airport is better run and a better design then Ohare. It also has way better food options and great customer service.
Welcome to Chicago. Please enjoy the 45 minute wait for your bags.
MargueriteAugust 8, 2011Make sure you buy your meal or whatever before you get to the isolated gates A4A and A4B
Bathrooms crowded? Try the ones by the food court. Follow the sign for "toilets" near the back. They're terrific!
- If you need a place for a quickie, use the Men's bathroom off the food court!
Give yourself plenty of time. Once a great mid-size airport but now a monster.
Give yourself plenty of time, Midway has the longest security lines.
The moving walkway is NOT a place to rest your sorry BUTT - walk you need the exersize.
Michael BrownNovember 16, 2013No Garrett Popcorn at Midway make sure to pick it up while you're downtown.
The men's bathrooms by the lower numbered gates have more urinals.
TSA Pre check is the way to go. It's worth it any time of day - regular security check is always a long wait. Not because of TSA, just people galore, always!
Use expert travel line, walk on moving walkways, and fly Southwest. That is all.
Faster to navigate through than O'Hare and much nicer.
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
Gah, I sat on a slimy piece of green pepper. Unacceptable. Get it together midway.
If you're here early and in terminal A, McDonalds is the only place open for breakfast. They start serving at 5 a.m.
mtnbkeAugust 21, 2010Southwest does it right! There is scarcity of outlets in this airport and they put in a bunch of seats with outlets at their gates!
If you want some peace and quiet, hang out in the seating area between Terminals A and B!
Landed at Chicago/Midway @ 6:40 hours. Terminal was practically empty. Was craving 'Nuts on Clark Popcorn'
Bakablonde TravelsDecember 22, 2011Southwest is the best they were really funny and had people smiling!
Caitlin CarleMarch 26, 2011They're not big on chairs...or sitting spaces here. If you hae time, head to the central food area to sit or you'll be standing a lot.
