The opening of the Chicago Midway Airport took place in 1923. This old airport was the largest in the state of Illinois until the middle of the last century. Initially, it was created to carry airmail and was called Chicago Air Park, but by 1928 Midway had more than ten hangars and 4 runways operating at night. This airport bears its current name in honor of the Battle of Midway, which took place during the Second World War.

Midway is conveniently located, just ten kilometers from Chicago, while the city center can be reached in 15 minutes by car or 40 minutes by public transport. Thanks to this, the flow of passengers is growing from year to year and today it is more than 20 million passengers a year.

 

Restaurants and cafes, shops and free WiFi, ATM machines and car rental desks make your stay at this cozy Chicago airport comfortable. Car rental can be obtained from a local or international car rental company, in many of them at Midway Airport, and free shuttle buses run around the airport for convenience.

I would like to note that traveling by car opens up more opportunities for you in such an amazing country as the USA. The ancient cities of "one-story America", luxurious metropolitan areas and their fantastic skyscrapers, beaches and parks, all this becomes easily accessible when traveling by car.

 

Undoubtedly, tourists from all over the world are attracted by Chicago itself, a city with a special atmosphere, stylish architecture, a unique old city, saturated with the spirit of the Chicago mafia. In summer, jazz and blues festivals are held in Chicago, city beaches are open on the magnificent ocean coast.

We are confident that your trip will be rich and memorable when your starting point is Chicago Midway International Airport.
