Families will have the opportunity to participate in two free educational events at Midway International Airport this month, organized by the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA). The “Midway Airport Family Night” sessions are designed to help children and their families become more comfortable with the airport experience.
The first event is scheduled for Saturday, September 13, with interactive sessions from 3 to 5:30 p.m. and from 4 to 6:30 p.m. A second session will be held on Tuesday, September 30, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Both events aim to familiarize families with various aspects of air travel before their next trip.
“Few experiences are as magical for a child as their first flight — and much of that wonder begins before the plane ever leaves the ground,” said CDA Commissioner Michael McMurray. “At Midway Airport Family Night, we want young travelers and their families to feel that same sense of excitement and confidence as they move through the airport. This event is a chance to explore the journey together — from check-in to boarding — and to show kids that flying isn’t just about the destination, it’s about the adventure of the whole trip.”
