Midway vs. O’Hare Airport
Choosing between O’Hare and Midway may not spark as much debate among Chicagoans as the Cubs vs. White Sox rivalry, but opinions on which airport is superior are still diverse. Limo Web Chicago provides limousine service to and from both airports and offers valuable insights into the advantages and disadvantages of each. While the “better” option depends on individual preferences, there are some key differences that travelers should consider.
O’Hare: Bigger and Busier
O’Hare International Airport is frequently ranked among the busiest airports globally. In 2016, it was listed as the sixth busiest airport worldwide by Airports Council International and the third busiest in the U.S. by total passenger boardings, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. This means that travelers might experience longer wait times and security lines. However, O’Hare’s extensive size makes it ideal for international business travelers, with a wider array of overseas flights to numerous destinations. Its location also provides easier access for those living on the north side of the city, whether by car or limousine. For those on long layovers, O’Hare has a greater selection of food and beverage options to help pass the time.
Midway: Convenient for Domestic Travel
While Midway Airport is busy, it’s much less crowded than O’Hare and doesn’t make the top 50 internationally. Located closer to downtown, a limousine ride from the Loop to Midway takes just over 20 minutes (traffic permitting). Although Midway lacks the same international flight options, it excels in domestic travel and offers a more relaxed experience. Notably, Southwest Airlines, known for its low-cost domestic flights, operates exclusively from Midway.
