After nearly a century without a dedicated space for travelers to relax, Chicago's Midway International Airport (MDW) introduced its first-ever lounge in September 2024. The Club MDW is located at the entrance to Concourse B, adjacent to the Evolve store, and is accessible to all passengers flying from Midway.
The lounge operates daily from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. It is part of the Priority Pass network, allowing members free access. Non-members can purchase $50 day passes with a valid departing boarding pass. Guests can enter within three hours of their scheduled departure time, and children under 17 must be accompanied by an adult.
Spanning 3,300 square feet, The Club MDW seats 67 people but can accommodate up to 96 guests in total. Despite its compact size, it offers a bright and welcoming atmosphere. A spokesperson noted that the lounge often experiences high occupancy levels, leading some potential visitors to be turned away. To address this issue, guests can join a digital waitlist by scanning a QR code at the entrance.
