News recently broke that Chicago Midway Airport (MDW) will be getting a lounge in the fall of 2024. This new lounge, called The Club MDW, will be operated by The Club Airport Lounges.

The Club MDW will be available to all travelers, regardless of airline or class of service. The lounge will offer its patrons complimentary food and beverage service in an inviting and relaxing environment. Throughout the lounge, there is seating, tables, and a full-service bar.

Closing Thoughts
This is exciting news for those who travel to or from Chicago Midway International Airport. I usually fly into O'Hare, but the times I have flown to MDW have proven to be much less stressful and easier to get around. This lounge will be relatively small, so I'd like to know how crowded it will be and whether wait-listing will be implemented.
