South Suburb Route Pricing
Flat rates from Midway Airport (MDW). SUV rates are $20–25 higher. All tolls and meet & greet included.
Pickup at Midway Airport
Midway has one terminal. One building, no connecting trains. Baggage claim is straightforward to navigate.
Baggage claim is on the lower level — follow the signs from the gates. It's a single building, no ATS train required. Your chauffeur waits at the baggage carousel with a name sign.
After claiming bags, exit to the lower level curb on 55th Street — your chauffeur will be positioned there for loading.
30 minutes complimentary wait from the time your wheels touch down. Southwest flights run on tight turnarounds, but we track the actual arrival, not the scheduled time.
Why Midway Works Better for South Suburb Travelers
If you have a choice between airports, this matters.
Midway is 4 miles closer to the south suburbs than O'Hare
If you're heading to Orland Park, Tinley Park, or Frankfort, Midway cuts 30–40 minutes off your trip compared to flying into O'Hare. Southwest dominates Midway, so if you have route flexibility, it's worth checking.
I-57 South is your friend
The Dan Ryan and I-57 corridor is significantly less congested than the Kennedy Expressway. On a typical evening, Midway to Tinley Park via I-57 runs 20–30 minutes. O'Hare to the same address via I-294 and I-57 is closer to 55–70 minutes.
No rideshare pickup maze
Midway's rideshare pickup is in the garage structure, not a dedicated terminal — it's faster than O'Hare's Multi-Modal Facility, but during peak times, the line gets long and drivers circle. Your pre-booked chauffeur is staged at 55th Street when you walk out.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a black car from Midway Airport to Orland Park cost?
A flat-rate sedan from Midway to Orland Park is $65. That covers the door-to-door trip — typically via I-55 South to I-294 South or Cicero Avenue, depending on traffic — plus all tolls, meet-and-greet at baggage claim, real-time flight tracking, and 30 minutes of complimentary wait time. SUV service is $85. The $65 rate doesn't change whether you land on a Tuesday morning or on the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
How long does the drive from Midway to Tinley Park take?
Midway to Tinley Park is about 14 miles via I-57 South. Standard drive time is 20 to 35 minutes. During afternoon rush (4 to 7 PM on weekdays), you might add 10 to 15 minutes, but I-57 is considerably less congested than the Kennedy or Eisenhower. Late nights and weekends, your chauffeur can make the run in 18 to 22 minutes.
What is the best route from Midway Airport to Frankfort, IL?
The most direct route from Midway to Frankfort is I-57 South to Harlem Avenue or LaGrange Road South, then south into downtown Frankfort. The drive covers about 22 miles and takes 30 to 45 minutes. On evenings when I-57 backs up near Halsted, your chauffeur may run Cicero Avenue to 159th Street instead — adds two or three minutes but avoids stop-and-go. White Street and Kansas Street in downtown Frankfort are well-known reference points.
Do you pick up at Midway's baggage claim or curbside?
Your chauffeur meets you inside at the baggage carousel on the lower level with a name sign — not at a rideshare zone. Once you've got your bags, they walk you out to the lower-level curb on 55th Street where the vehicle is staged. Midway's single-terminal layout makes this fast and straightforward. No Airport Transit System, no shuttle, no extra walking.
Is it worth flying into Midway instead of O'Hare if I'm going to the south suburbs?
For most south suburb addresses — Orland Park, Tinley Park, Frankfort, Mokena — Midway is meaningfully better. It's closer, the I-57 corridor is less congested than O'Hare's expressway options, and the fare is lower. If you're comparing Southwest at Midway against United at O'Hare for a similar ticket price, the ground transportation savings and shorter drive time tip toward Midway for south suburb destinations.
