Chicago Midway International Airport
Satisfaction score: 763
The Chicago Midway airport has been in the process of renovation since 2018, and something has gone terribly wrong. More gates were squeezed in, leading to a lot of crowding, not enough seating, and security lines that spill into the parking lot. The more popular food options were replaced by low-quality chains that have awful service and even worse food. There are plenty of Yelp reviews that complain about the selection of “dry microwaved bread,” “Chicago’s worst pizza” and $15 salads with “scary brown lettuce.” While food elsewhere might not matter as much, this airport’s central location means that there are a lot of layovers, meaning people need food.

Opened in 1954, this busy airport has four terminals, including a modern International Terminal that has a renowned aviation museum and library. However, unlike other terminals’ redesigns, the renovations at Terminal 1 leave something to be desired. Customers have complained that there are only a couple of restaurants, muddled announcements, charging stations that don’t work, and cramped conditions with “200-300 people crammed into the end of the terminal” waiting to get on their flights. One Yelp user says, “Everything about this hellhole screams, ‘You’re never getting out of here.’”
