How an arrival at MDW works
Your reservation is linked to the flight number, so a delay, a diversion or an early landing moves the pickup time automatically. You are given thirty minutes of complimentary wait from wheels-down on a domestic arrival and ninety on an international one, because immigration and baggage are unpredictable in a way the airline schedule is not.
Curbside pickup is the faster and cheaper option: the chauffeur holds in the cell lot, you text when you have your bags, and the car is at the designated pickup zone within a few minutes. Meet-and-greet puts the chauffeur inside with a name board, helps with luggage and walks you out — the right choice for first-time visitors, guests you are hosting, children, and anyone with mobility needs.
Departures from MDW
For departures we work backwards from the terminal arrival time recommended for your carrier and cabin, add the traffic profile for that specific day and hour, and give you a pickup time. For international departures out of the larger hubs that usually means three hours before scheduled departure; for a domestic morning flight with pre-check it is often ninety minutes.
Getting into Chicago from MDW
Chicago runs on conventions and on weather. McCormick Place is among the largest convention centres in the world and when it is full the whole city's ground transportation is committed; between shows the same city is easy. Winter adds a second variable, and a chauffeur who has driven a Lake Shore Drive whiteout is a different proposition from one who has not.
Local note. During the largest McCormick Place shows the city genuinely runs out of vehicles. Exhibitors who book ground transportation with their booth space get a car; those who book in show week frequently do not.
