How far is Chicago Midway Airport from Chicago Airport?

The distance from Chicago Airport to Chicago Midway Airport is about 45 km by road, and the transfer usually takes around 1 hour 10 minutes. Traffic is the only variable - our drivers know the route and the times to avoid, and they choose the fastest way on the day. Because the Chicago Airport to Chicago Midway Airport transfer price is fixed in advance, a slow drive never costs you more, which is the first difference from an airport taxi on the meter.

The fastest road route runs via the US-20 and IL-50, and your driver adjusts it on the day for traffic and roadworks.

From O'Hare the route follows I-294 south and I-55 east, or the Kennedy and Stevenson Expressways via the city, to Cicero Avenue and the terminal.

Airports feel bigger after a long flight, and Chicago Airport is no exception. That is why your confirmation carries the exact meeting point for this airport, the driver's name and a phone number: when you walk out of arrivals you know where to look. The driver has been following your flight, so a late landing or a slow bag belt changes nothing about your Chicago Airport to Chicago Midway Airport transfer.

Searches for "ORD to Chicago Midway Airport" or "ORD airport transfer" land here for a reason: ORD is the airport code for Chicago Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Chicago Midway Airport.

Taxi or private transfer from Chicago Airport to Chicago Midway Airport?

An airport taxi from Chicago Airport to Chicago Midway Airport means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Chicago Airport to Chicago Midway Airport per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Chicago Midway Airport involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Chicago Midway Airport, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport to Chicago Midway Airport: is there a bus, train or metro?

The CTA Blue Line runs from O'Hare and the Orange Line from Midway to the Loop in 40-50 minutes, workable for one traveller; with luggage, a family or a suburban hotel a car door to door is the simpler choice.

If you are weighing the Chicago Airport to Chicago Midway Airport options, think about the last kilometre. Trains and buses stop at stations; hotels are somewhere else. With a private transfer the driver takes the route that ends at your door in Chicago, helps with the bags, and the price agreed on WhatsApp does not change if the trains are on strike or the road is slow.

Meeting your driver at Chicago Airport

Every airport is laid out differently, and Chicago Airport is no exception: some airports have a fixed meeting point inside the terminal, some have a specific exit where drivers may wait, and at others the driver stands just beyond customs with a sign. Because of that we do not print one rule here. When we confirm your Chicago Midway Airport transfer on WhatsApp, we tell you exactly where your driver will be, with the driver's name and a phone number you can message the moment you land.

Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Chicago Airport.

Our vehicles for the Chicago Midway Airport transfer

For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.

Child seats and booster seats are available on request - say the ages of the children when you book and we bring the right ones. Extra-large luggage, sports equipment and wheelchairs are all fine; just mention them so the right vehicle is sent.

The vehicle is chosen before the confirmation, not at the kerb, so there is no surprise at the door of Chicago Airport: what we agreed on WhatsApp is what is waiting, and if your luggage looks like it needs a bigger vehicle we say so before you pay.

Older travellers book it for the door-to-door help with the bags, and couples for a calm start to the trip instead of a taxi queue.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Chicago Midway Airport transfers

Haqqi Tours is a travel company, not a taxi app: the people who confirm your Chicago Midway Airport transfer are the same people you can message at midnight when the flight is late. The price is fixed and written down, the driver is a licensed professional who does this road regularly, the vehicle is what we said it would be, and if anything on the day is not as promised, one message to the desk puts it right.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

• Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
• Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
