Description and Basic Information ::
|
| Midway Airport, on the Southwest side, was known as Municipal Airport till 1949, when it was renamed to commemorate WWII’s Battle of the Midway. It’s exactly one square mile in area, set within the boundaries of 55th St., Cicero, 63rd and Central Avenue. O’Hare took over the distinction of “world’s busiest” on its opening, but Midway held the title first. It is not presently a lovely airport, but it is a reliable alternative for bargain fare departures. Renovations and improvements are underway. The CTA Orange Line serves the airport from early in the morning till quite late at night, but call the CTA at 312-836-7000 to confirm that they will get you to the gate on time. The area around Midway is not known for its scenic attractions. Bring a book. |
