Plenty of seating, food, power outets, & clean restrooms! #Southwest #Terminal1
Andrew RailApril 22, 2013If you have more than three or four hours for a layover, hop on the orange line and hit the city. But get back at least an hour and a half before your flight since security can be slow.
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.
Checking into security was a breeze and I got to keep my leftover Giordano's pizza. Need a charge? They've got plugin spots.
Don't forget to take your picture with the Blues Brothers! They're in concourse A next to the House of Blues gift shack!
Stay to the left at security. Moves fast, extra lanes often open up!
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?
Security lines are very short. Food options are improving. Still hard to get a seat for dinner on Thursday nights
Victoria ParkerJanuary 7, 2013A4A and A4B is a long walk from the rest of Southwest gates. If you don't like a long walk take the tram
If flying Southwest and you're being dropped off, park further away and the TSA's don't harass you as much so you can say goodbye longer.
- Leave early! Busy day! SWA only has 2 ticketing agents at express kiosk!
Lloyd MurphyJuly 20, 2013What can I say about Midway? It's like most airports in many ways. But it's so much less nightmarish than O'Hare.
While Southwest typically charges the fare difference to standby, if your flight is delayed 15 minutes or more they can waive the difference!
Grab an omelette @ Harry Caray's: they compete w/ all the fancy breakfast joints in Chi & you can be in and out in less than 25 mins.
Margot BloomsteinMarch 22, 2012Hit Pegasus on the Fly in the main food court area for terrific breakfast and great Greek hand food anytime.
If you need to charge up, follow the signs to gate A4- there's a large, hidden charging station just before the long carpeted concourse area begins.
Dewey HollemanApril 18, 2013It's best to eat in the food court because there is little to choose from elsewhere. In bust periods there can be a shortage of gate area seating.
Hey SWA, how about hiring a few more baggage handlers and getting luggage out in a reasonable amount of time for evening flights? Pleaseandthankyou.
The folks that work for Southwest Airlines are the best !!!
Ben GSeptember 2, 2014Wifi on any single Southwest plane is free and faster than the paid wifi across this entire airport.
Great selection of food from ben & jerks to salad restaurant Chicago corned beef , hot dogs Greek food
If you are at an A4 gate get here early. I've been at remote parking lots closer to the main terminal.
Charles RobertsMarch 18, 2014Be careful booking early flights if you plan to take CTA as orange line train from city may not be running yet.
DenekkaSeptember 27, 2013Certain SW Flts have free WiFi sponsored by dish network. The seats were spacious too.
Staci KramerApril 1, 2012If your gate is A 4A/B start walking 20 minutes before you think you have to & bring everything you want from main terminal.
Far right line is if you have 1 personal carry on - much shorter and moves fast. Check your bag and bypass the masses.
Always get here early, there's always a huge security line and nothing is organized!
The security checkpoint closes from 12AM-3AM. If you're here early enough, the airport staff will give you a cot to sleep on in Terminal C.
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!
Ask for your bun toasted at Gild Coast Dogs and then get a beer at Lalos Mexican....yummmm!!
Hands down the fastest TSA experience I have ever been through. It looks crazy, but the were impressively efficient.- Arrive early! Major construction at Baggage Claim doors and escalators to Ticketing and Gates.
If your flight leaves from gate A4A... don't be late because it is a journey to get to from TSA.
Adding some new eateries here. Potbelly and Pork Chop are up and running.
Paul McAleerDecember 31, 2013Is your gate A4A? Then you'll be walking approximately 8.7 miles just to get to/from the main concourse.
To save time on baggage checking, go to Skycap. Way faster and worth a few bucks!
Midway security is equivalent to that of a 3rd world country. The lines are insane, and there's no organization!
There's food and beverage in baggage claim so you can grab a drink while you wait on your bags!
There's a wonderful Chicago project on Instagram called #instagram312. When you upload your Chicago photos to Instagram, tag them #instagram312 to be included in the collection.
Sir CharlesApril 16, 2012Southwest wont let you check bags in more than 4 hours ahead of flight...so I had to wait 3 whole minutes! This airport has it figured out, very few lines anywhere!
