Chicago Midway International Pilot Reviews:

August 28, 2025Stopped by for an Angel Flight in C182. Controllers were very accommodating. Signature waived all charges and even let me borrow the crew car. Really good airport so close to Chicago downtown!

April 2, 2025Flew to MDW for a quick meeting downtown. Obviously a busy class C, but surprisingly GA friendly at Signature. Simple in, simple out, and fairly priced. Runways and taxiways are placed closely together... have ForeFlight up or request a progressive taxi.

August 5, 2024Cherokee 180. Landed here IFR on a clear day. Vectored direct to CADON, It's an IF before the FAF. Tower told me to maintain my speed up but I never felt rushed. Went to Atlantic and would suggest. On the departure the following day I got some unclear taxi directions and asked for a progressive and controller was very fine about it. I didn't anticipate an intersection departure so I was a little ?? when told to monitor tower half way up the runway. Super friendly ATC. Do it.
