I'll probably volunteer for airport duty Monday morning as I'll have a car, will be taking the day off and know the area. My suggestion is to fly into Midway and not O'Hare.
My suggestion is only fly into midway if you get a written guarantee that Dan is going to pick you up.
I can't believe you're telling people to fly to Midway. You on crack?
Some people aren't going to have a choice, I can only fly O'Hairypair. LOL sorry Lynn.

What's wrong with midway? Im just curious because southwest is cheaper, no bag fee.. so I was considering them. I like smaller airports too. Is it traffic?
Midway is A) in the ghetto and B) ridiculously inconvenient. If a person is renting a car and doesn't know the area, Midway is NOT a place I would suggest. Dan is going to come in and dispute this.

But even apart from that, it's way out of the way. Far more convenient - especially on Monday when it's recovery time, to have a shorter trip back to the airport. O'Hare sits right on the same tollway that goes out to Elgin. 20-25 minutes.
p.s. - when choosing return flights, choose ones that depart after 11 am if you can. Inbound (meaning toward O'Hare) morning traffic on 90, forget it.
