The Club Lounges has opened the first-ever airport lounge at Chicago Midway Airport (MDW). The new lounge officially opened on September 26, 2024. The lounge is located in Concourse B, near gate B1, and is open daily from 04:00 to 22:00 (10 pm). The lounge spans 3,300 square feet (306 m²) and accommodates ~100 travellers.

Design & Amenities

The design draws inspiration from Chicago’s rich architectural history, featuring high-contrast, monochromatic tones and photography by local artists Mark Hersch and Angie McMonigal. The lounge has areas dedicated to work, relaxation, and socializing. There is great use of natural light, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing panoramic views of the airfield. The lounge offers Wi-Fi, gender-neutral restrooms, and charging ports throughout the seating areas. The full-bar offers many choices, including local craft beers from Revolution Brewing and Two Brothers Brewing, spirits from KOVAL Distillery, and locally sourced cuisine.

Access

The lounge is available to all travelers, regardless of airline or class of service, by purchasing a day pass for $50 or by using a lounge membership such as Priority Pass or LoungeKey. You can access the lounge up to three hours before departure.

See The Club MDW page for more information and booking.

Closing Thoughts

The Club MDW is the first premium lounge in the 96-year history of Midway International Airport. For those in the military, there are also two USO lounges located at the airport, as well as a yoga room and a chapel for all passengers to use.
