Flight from Chicago Midway Airport to Los Angeles

TammiFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2026

In LA - only way to get an uber is to take a bus to an offsite area - can’t get directly at airport.

MarkFlew with American Airlines-Jun 2026

Get there early, only one TSA line open and thew queue was very long.

MikeFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2024

Arrive early, grab a bottle of soda before getting on the plane and open it in the terminal. If you wait until flying the pressure will decarbonize the drink.
