Explore Elgin
Elgin to Midway International Airport covers about 46 miles via I-90 east and the I-55 Stevenson Expressway into the MDW terminal area. Southwest Airlines travelers from this large Fox River city regularly choose Midway over O'Hare for the right routes, and your driver handles the full expressway approach from your Elgin address to 55th Street.
Elgin is a Fox River city with the scale and ambition to match its population — the Hemmens Cultural Center, Grand Victoria Casino, Lords Park Zoo and a historic downtown gradually reclaiming its riverfront all give the city a range of destinations that smaller suburbs can't match. Neighborhoods on both banks of the river have distinct characters, and the city's arts scene and diverse population give it an energy that sets it apart in the northern Fox Valley. The I-90 east and I-55 Stevenson Expressway corridor connects Elgin toward Midway Airport.

Plan Your Elgin to Midway Trip
Leave time to spare. Aim to reach Midway about 2 hours before a domestic flight. The drive from Elgin is usually around 60 minutes, but rush-hour traffic, winter weather, and holiday travel can add time.
Check with your airline. Confirm your flight status, bag-drop deadline, and recommended arrival time before your pickup. Current screening information is available on the Midway TSA page .
Safety first. Your driver follows all traffic laws and cannot make up time lost because of a late start, so select a pickup time that includes a reasonable buffer.
