I've always thought that Midway lost out when they cancelled the Crosstown Expressway, the only good direction to approach Midway is from downtown or directly southwest. Even people to the south face a long, slow slog through Oak Lawn (from the Tri-State) or Englewood (from the Dan Ryan)

Still, Midway is arguably better sited for the North Lakefront than O'Hare, certainly if you don't drive a car. You can get to Midway with only two rail rides, or a speedy Uber trip on LSD->Stevenson.

I've actually taken advantage of the unusual "brownge" line routing to get a 1-seat el ride from Lincoln Square all the way down to MDW.

but it's a pretty long ride. I think ORD is still quicker for me on transit, even with the montrose bus to blue line transfer. That said, we're out by western, so not really "north lakefront". The montrose blue line stop is only 2.5 miles west of me, and then it's only 5 stops on the blue line into ORD.

more details emerge about Southwest's new ops at ORD:

Quote:
Southwest will begin service to O’Hare with 20 daily flights on Feb. 14:

Baltimore/Washington (BWI) four-times daily
Dallas Love Field (DAL) four-times daily
Denver (DEN) six-times daily
Nashville (BNA) four-times daily
Phoenix (PHX) twice daily

The new flights complement the carrier’s existing base at Chicago Midway (MDW) airport on the city’s south side. On Oct. 22, Kelly said capacity limits at Midway blocked Southwest from growing there and prompted the expansion to O’Hare on the north side of the city.

“If we don’t move now, we risk never getting in there,” he said.

Southwest will operate from common use gates in Terminal 5 at O’Hare, said spokesperson Dan Landson.

i wonder if these new flights to these 5 cities from ORD is an add, or if flights to them from MDW will be reduced?

^ I hope not! I have used several of those connections from MDW for business travel in the last year. As a South Sider I love the convenience of Midway (usually drive or Uber but occasionally I do CTA).

That is correct. WN will be at T5 and gate number is M1, M2 and M3 (RON).

Yes, they have 20 flights out of ORD. Only 5 routes from ORD to 6x DEN, 2x PHX, 4x BWI, 4x DAL and 4x BNA, as well. Still no LAS or Florida flights. Still not yet.

No, they won't be reduced MDW flights. Because they are running out of gates.

Hi all,

She back on the news again. She went to the court by last month, but Marilyn Hartman's court hearing was delayed after judge who had a tests positive COVID19. A new court date is on December 4, 2020.

https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2020/10...hartman-court/

As long if she behave well. She must listen to the judge or me.

AIR INDIA PLANNING NEW ORD ROUTE TO HYDERABAD

"From Jan. 9, the carrier will start direct flights between Hyderabad (HYD) and Chicago O’Hare (ORD), marking the first nonstop service to the US from the city in southern India. The route will operate 2X-weekly.

Chicago has the second-highest population of Indian-Americans in the US, so Air India’s new route will likely target VFR traffic, taking advantage of the current demand that exists to see friends and family."

Just calling what i see. I used to manage 9 people here....now i manage 11 from india. Our top devs are all here on work visas while we let go of others. Some are more talented i grant that, but plenty are not. But they sure are cheaper either way.

I saw that. No need to posts here. Go on FlyerTalk or Airliners.Net.

Brand new 11,245' runway 9C/27C is now apparently open and in use for aircraft operations, per airliners.net forum.

Here's the new FAA diagram.




Once the work to extend 9R/27L from its current 8,000' to 11,500' is done, then ORD's runway work will finally be 100% complete, making the airport the first one in the world with 6 parallel runways, with 4 of those being very long, ranging between 10,800' - 13,000'.

I noticed a blurb that Aeroterm and the city have green lit Phase III of their cargo project due to high demand. Supposed to start construction next month.

T5 expansion is progressing even though there are basically no pics of it from the construction side of things. If more people were flying we'd have more updates. I think interior build out permits were issued a few weeks ago.
