    Travelers feel that transiting at Chicago Midway Airport from gate to gate is easy and display boards in the baggage area help finding your bags quickly, and they also feel the glass partitions create a nice atmosphere. While one passenger explains the terminal layout, another points you to go to the

  • security wait times taking longer

     

    now that Midway has put in Disneyland lines, I have gone thru security 3 times - too many agents at the dais and too few xray lines open - over an hour first time - 3rd time was 25 minutes. MUCH longer than it used to be - why are fewer xray lines open now?

     

  • Union Station Shuttle

     

    I have been told that there is a shuttle that runs from Midway to Union Station but I cant find it or a price anywhere online???? Where can I catch that exact shuttle, what times do they run, and what is the price? Also is there a price for a 2 year old to ride the shuttle as well? I am flying tomorrow so a prompt response would be GREATLY appreciated!

  • Stolen Laptop out of packed baggage

     

    I am writing because my wife's computer, backup drive, and a couple other items was stolen out of our packed baggage. The computer and the backup contained photos and videos that are irreplacable. This happened on Nov 20th, 2011. If this was not bad enough, i cannot get the Lost and Found to even call me back to acknowledge if it was turned in or not. we were flying from Chicago to panama City and could not carry anything else with our two kids, two ipads, a stroller and four bags so we packed the laptop and drive that my wife wanted to work on organizing photos on while we were away for a week. Southwest has done nothing. Midway has done less than nothing and the Police cannot do anything. I am seriously considering never flying out of there again and making sure the whole world knows that they have thieves working there. I know it was stolen but not to have anyone call you back after four attempts is ridiculous. Never use this airport again. I have replaced the computer but I can never replace the photos and memories on that and the drive. Thank you social media and my 2000 facebook friends, twitter followers, my 1000 co-workers, and yelp followers for helping me spread the word on just how slimy this airport operates.

    If my info is correct - a $10 charge for "public" access to the internet - a service we already pay for with unbelieveable taxes???
