O'Hare vs Midway

I did a search on the forum, but can%26#39;t find an answer to my questions.

I%26#39;m trying to decide on which airport to use. I am flying in on a sunday morning in September (arriving around 10am) and traveling to the Hyatt McCormick Place. I%26#39;m also attending a Cubs game at 1 that day. Both airports have flights that work time wise for me - so this is not an issue for me. Since my company is paying for airfare/transportation (this is a business trip) - any preference on airport? I know Midway is smaller, but is it more reliable or should I go with O%26#39;Hare?

Also, I plan on leaving on a flight around 5pm on Wednesday - so this may drive the airport choice too based on ease of getting to one over the other.

Thanks in advance for your help with a first timer to Chicago.

Many people I know prefer the smaller Midway. You would have an easier time getting from the closer Midway to the Hyatt McCormick than from ORD to the Hyatt McCormick, as well.

I hate flying out of Midway. Being smaller isn%26#39;t always a good thing. The lines for security are always 10 times longer and it seems we%26#39;ve always had to wait a lot longer at the baggage claim. I always take the longer drive up to O%26#39;hare over Midway.

I%26#39;d probably go with Midway, the last few times I%26#39;ve flown out of there I haven%26#39;t seen any significant delays at security. I always carry my bag on the plane so I can%26#39;t comment on baggage delays.

If your company is paying for transport, I suspect you%26#39;ll opt for a cab so you%26#39;ll also be significantly closer to the Hyatt McCormick if you fly into Midway AND you don%26#39;t have to go through downtown which is usually what backs up. Mapquest says 10 miles/17 minutes for Midway, 22 miles/30 minutes for O%26#39;Hare but those numbers shoot up if you hit traffic.

It is much easier to get to your hotel from Midway than from O%26#39;Hare. Much shorter trip right down the expressway.

Both airports have their inconveniences. I am not thrilled with either option. I would go for Midway based on the hotel choice.

thanks all - I am leaning towards Midway. i think I%26#39;ll have the best chance with timing in order to make it for the 1:20pm Cubs game.
