    MUCH easier to navigate than O'Hare. Definitely worth flying Southwest

    If you're traveling to downtown, best way there is on the train.

    The Dunkin Donuts kiosk in the food court has stale glazed donuts! I arrived early before 4am.

    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

    Admittedly it's not the best airport, but it does get you to Kanye's city.

    Looking for breakfast? Go through security first. The pizza place has great breakfast sandwiches.

    Give yourself extra time for an early flight. TSA system is odd. One lane through for everyone

    Was at midway for first time since COVID shut down everything. Gold Coast Dogs all other restaurants in that general food court closed. Airport empty. Sad knowing so many out of work.

    Outside curb check in is the way to go! Short lines and less wait time!

    I'll never understand why people print boarding passes at home. Save the ink and paper, head to a standalone machine and 5 seconds later, you have a nice, thick boarding pass - no folding necessary!

    For faster checkin w a bag, first use a walk up screen to print your boarding pass. Then you can take the 'express' lane to check your bag.

    Make sure you get here at least 3-4 hours before your flight on a Sunday around noon security is crazy and the lines are super long!!

    This 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.

    Nuts on Clark is just down the hall from the Terminal A main food court. Try the cheese corn!!

    There is no Diet Mt Dew on concourse A. Ben and Jerrys at the TSA checkpoint is the closest. They got it confused with their ice cream when they priced it.

    Midway Park Saver is really close to the airport an very reasonably priced for parking. Print a coupon out online.

    For vegans/veggies there is a salad place in Concourse B ( I think) called Salad Sprigs. You can get a VERY hearty salad there. I do not recommend the "asian dressing" its way too sweet.

    They were very busy and the facility staff was visible; cleaning waiting area seats as they could. There were plenty of garbage cans; some people were not using them.

    back and forth from the airport... get a limo it really is the best... cleaner and safer option than a taxi!

    Don't stand up in the aisles and chat. Put your sh*t in the overhead bin and sit the F down. Some of us have places to go. Daaannnggg.

    B terminal has the worlds smallest bathrooms for such a large airport. Even the men have to line up outside.

    If you have some extra time, spend a bit of it learning about the 'Battle of Midway'. It's an audio/video exhibit located in Concourse A.

    I really like Harry's as a place to eat. But, if you are running late for your flight, don't expect TSA to help you catch it.

    So much styrofoam used at the food court...for two seconds and then thrown in the trash. Step it up for the environment, please!

    Plan to get there earlier than you used to. New security set up is HORRIBLE! Even for TSA pre-check and Priority Lane

    Unless you come in at A4A or A4B, this is a very convenient airport to connect through. SWA is getting decent seats instead of awful airport lounge seats.
