Getting to the city
Getting from Midway International into Chicago is part of the trip. Because the city has two airports, confirm which one you're arriving at before you book a ride. Transfer times depend on traffic, so leave a buffer if you're heading to a meeting or a connecting flight. Avoid the peak commute windows if your schedule allows. If you're comparing fares, weigh the transfer cost and time against the ticket price — a cheaper flight to one airport can end up slower door to door.
