Chicago Midway FIRST PREMIUM Airport Lounge in 96 Years

Glad to see MDW getting a new lounge. Hopefully ORD can get one in the next five years.

Great reviews of the new lounge Max. The lounge seems underwhelming and I wouldn't go out of my way to try it. You should've gotten a drink or 2 at the bar even without tipping the bartender. Our culture of over tipping is ludicrous, and don't feel guilty if you don't tip. I definitely didn't tip the airport janitor whenever I used the rest rooms.

When I went (10/28) they had breakfast foods like waffles, eggs, fruit, and i think yogurt.

Not worth it.

I was there on Opening Day. Its nice but at 3000 sq. ft it is a problem. I asked the reps from Collison (who own both The Club and Priority Pass) who were on-site that day if they had the ability to expand other lounges throughout MDW (especially Terminal 1) and he said they were already getting complaints about the size of the lounge. Hoping this means we'll get more.

Chicago lounges in general are doo-doo. It’s a hard sell for lounge access credit cards for folks here.

It's better than nothing. Shame on LAX does not have any Priority lounge anymore

Brave soul flying to midway

Was this lounge added recently to Priority Pass? I don't recall it was there in my recent travel thru MDW

Better than nothing 🤷‍♂️

Cool to know what I'm in for being a southwest flyer. Thanks, I think most people only want to do the sexy lounges.

Just like the lounge in Cleveland

I tip bartenders with Venmo

What's going on with your fingers in the thumbnail?!

How is this compared to the Aspire lounge in SAN

Thats awesome cause we fly southwest through midway all the time!

Do you get a free guest?

Mau punya priority pass lounge

Mau punya paslon

Mau punya semua splash

Skipping the bar because you don't have a dollar is such a copout. They're paid they'll be fine without your tip.

I was excited to see that MDW was finally getting a lounge, but was disappointed to see how small it was. I was hoping they'd take something out of Atlanta's playbook or other airports where they build upon the airport and add new facilities above the concourse, but guess that wasn't in their plans. MDW is already really size-constrained as it is now and looks like they didn't have much room to work with. Better than nothing, I suppose.

soon there will be a 2 hour wait just get in. It is better than nothing thou.

Reminds me of a smaller version of the Charlotte priority pass lounge (also called "The Club" and probably the same owner/operator).
