Traveller Comments....
"I was so panicked and desperate that I actually made a shuttle trip out to O'Hare to see if I could get anything there. Of course, there was nothing so I had to come all the way back." - steverino
"I was assured by some idiots that there would be lockers at midway. Well, no lockers, needless to say." - Kim
"what a nice lullaby, announcement, which say, you have to leave airport after midnight and before 5AM if you are not airport employee or security staff" - Bryan
"Concourse B is very big and cozy. I slept in a chair and time flew by." - nt
"It [was] transformed into a kind of cruel, bizarre, Chicago-themed amusement park." - ?
"I rifled through my backpack and produced my hiking tent, which we proceeded to set up right there at the gate on the carpeted floor.... We decided to take the annoyance up a notch by cooking some ramen on the camp stove." - ?
"THE DUMP" - ?

People said Ohare sucked... wow. Midway has a 1/2 a mile walkway which is not heated at all (from the el to the entrance). When you get in its a huge amount of empty space where there is NO food at all except a tiny Duncan Donuts stand that is as big as a news stand on the side of the road. You better get your food there if you don't have your ticket yet, because besides another crappy 'stand' in baggage claim, there is not a single food stand in the whole lobby until you go through security. There are also no seats except a few in the baggage area (not a single one in the lobby). For any disabled people or elderly, this has to be miserable for them. You can't get wifi at the place, at all, unless you pay a monthly fee which is not the case at Ohare (at least last time I was there). Midway is the ghetto of all airports... it has no business concept (like, that maybe someone would like a sandwich while waiting in Southwest's huge line). This airport sucks so bad that if anyone else buys my daughter a ticket to fly anywhere to that airport, they will also have to hire a manservant or nanny to take her there because I'M NOT DOING IT. If you have to wait outside security for anyone for any reason -- its the most miserable experience in your life. I'd rather sit at the Grey hound station at least there is a restaurant! I didn't try to sleep here at all... I would rather sleep on the el, seriously.
