Can I walk out of Chicago Midway Airport (MDW)?
Is it possible to walk out of MDW?
The reason I ask is because you can only schedule an UberBlack or UberSUV to pick you up from MDW. However, if I can walk to one of these spots just outside the airport:
- Dunkin' Donuts 4612 W 59th St, CTA Chicago, IL 60629
- Chill With Us Yogurt Cafe 4559 W 59th St Chicago, IL 60629
- Pasteur Park 5825 S Kostner Ave Chicago, IL 60629)
Uber could pick me up there and I save ~$30.
Best Answer
Never been to Chicago Midway, but looking at satellite view on Google maps shows access from the airport into the CTA Midway subway station. The station is a couple hundred metres away from W59th street, and one of those cafes you mentioned seem to be just across the road from it:
So with my assumption being that if you can enter the subway station on foot you must also be able to exit it, I would say it seems you can walk out of Chicago Midway Airport to those Uber pickup spots.
