About flying from MDW

Chicago Midway International Airport is Southwest Airlines' dominant Chicago hub and a budget-friendly alternative to O'Hare for domestic travelers. Located on the Southwest Side of Chicago, Midway is more convenient for South Side residents, western suburbs, and Indiana border communities.

Southwest's near-monopoly at Midway means the airport specializes in domestic leisure and point-to-point routes.

For Chicago area travelers comparing MDW vs ORD, the decision usually comes down to airline preference. Southwest users go to MDW, and everyone else typically uses O'Hare. Fares from MDW on Southwest routes are often very competitive.
