Why Midway Is Easier Than You Think

Midway's single-terminal layout and Southwest hub status make it straightforward to navigate. Here's what that means for your shuttle experience.

Single Terminal — No Confusion

Midway has one terminal. There's no guessing which terminal your airline uses, no inter-terminal transfers, and no confusion at pickup. Your driver drops at or picks up from the right door every time without the multi-terminal maze of O'Hare.

Door 3 Arrivals Pickup

For arrivals, your driver meets you at Door 3 on the lower level after baggage claim. Midway's compact layout means you're at the vehicle within minutes of clearing the terminal — none of the 10-minute walk to rideshare lots you'd get at O'Hare.

Shorter Security Lines

Midway processes significantly less traffic than O'Hare. TSA lines are shorter, boarding gates are closer, and you spend less time in the terminal. We plan your departure pickup accordingly — 90 minutes before domestic flights is usually sufficient.

Flat Rates — Always

Downtown to Midway is $55 in a sedan. That doesn't change at 5 AM or during a Bears game. Rideshare surge pricing can push that same trip to $90+ on a busy Friday afternoon. We lock your rate at booking.

Southwest Airlines Hub

Southwest operates exclusively out of Midway in Chicago. If you're flying Southwest, MDW is your airport. We run Midway transfers daily and understand the Southwest check-in patterns, terminal flow, and baggage claim timing.

Flight Monitoring on Every Pickup

Your driver tracks your flight in real time. Delayed 45 minutes out of Baltimore? We know. We adjust the pickup time and you don't make any calls. Same flat rate regardless of when you actually land.

Private Shuttle vs. Shared Shuttle

Midway Shuttle FAQ

Where exactly does Royal Carriage pick up at Midway Airport? +

For arrivals, your driver meets you inside at baggage claim with a name sign, then escorts you to the vehicle. Curbside pickup for arriving passengers is on the lower level at Door 3. For departures, your driver picks up at your home or hotel and drops at your airline's terminal entrance curbside. Midway has one terminal, so there's no confusion about which building.

How much is a shuttle from downtown Chicago to Midway? +

Downtown Chicago (Loop, River North, Gold Coast, Streeterville) to Midway Airport is $55 in a sedan for 1–3 passengers. SUV service is $75 for up to 6 passengers. These are flat rates — no surge pricing, no meter running, and tolls are included. Drive time is typically 20–30 minutes via I-55. Call (224) 801-3090 to confirm your exact pickup address rate.

How is private shuttle service different from a shared shuttle? +

A private shuttle goes directly from your door to Midway with zero stops. Shared shuttles pick up 3–6 other passengers along a route, adding 30–60 minutes to your trip. Private service departs on your schedule rather than a fixed timetable. For 2 or more passengers, the per-person cost of a private Royal Carriage sedan is often equal to or less than a shared shuttle — with none of the detours.

How early should I book my Midway shuttle for a morning flight? +

For domestic flights, plan for 90 minutes at the terminal — Midway security moves faster than O'Hare. For a 7 AM departure from downtown, your driver should pick up around 5:00–5:15 AM. We'll recommend the optimal departure time when you book. Same-day bookings are available but call (224) 801-3090 — last-minute requests are confirmed by phone, not just online.

Do you offer round-trip Midway shuttle service? +

Yes. Round-trip bookings save 10% off the second leg. Book both legs at once and we coordinate the return pickup based on your arrival flight. Your driver tracks your return flight — if it's delayed, we adjust automatically. Round-trip corporate accounts available with monthly invoicing.

Can you do a Midway to O'Hare airport transfer? +

Yes. Cross-airport transfers between Midway and O'Hare run $85 sedan, $105 SUV. The route is typically I-55 to I-90/94 to I-190 — roughly 40–55 minutes depending on traffic. We handle this regularly for travelers with connecting flights at different airports or for those whose outbound and return itineraries use different airports.

What airlines fly out of Midway Airport? +

Southwest Airlines is the dominant carrier at Midway — it's their Chicago hub. Frontier Airlines also operates from Midway. All other major carriers (United, American, Delta) operate from O'Hare. If you're flying Southwest, you're going to Midway. If you're unsure, check your ticket — it will say MDW (Midway) or ORD (O'Hare).
