By all means, fly into or out of Midway Airport–it’s a wonderful facility. But do not plan to get there early to pick someone up or have a meal before Grandma’s departure. You can’t get in. No ticket, no entry.

The baggage level is available–about the size of a football field, with one small kiosk selling pre-made sandwiches, snacks and soda but no place to sit except on the carousels.

The ticket counter level is available. Same huge size as the baggage level, with about 100 cushions but backless stools to accommodate hundreds and hundreds of people.

Poor planning!
