Pilot's Recommendation

For most Chicago departures, I default to Midway. It's the fastest to reach from downtown, Atlantic's FBO handles charter traffic all day, and most operators position to KMDW first when sourcing aircraft for Chicago trips. Executive is the right call if you live north of Evanston. DuPage only makes sense if you're coming from Naperville or further west.
