Overview

The Convenient Airport for Hyde Park

Hyde Park sits on the South Side lakefront, closer to Midway than to the city's other airport.

Hyde Park is roughly 12 miles from Midway, a straightforward trip toward the lakefront. For students, parents, faculty and visitors, that means a short, flat-rate ride to the neighborhood instead of the long haul from the northwest-side airport.

The University of Chicago drives much of the travel here, from prospective students and their families touring campus to academics arriving for conferences and lectures. We also serve UChicago Medicine patients and families, and visitors headed to the Museum of Science and Industry.

Every arrival is flight tracked, with meet and greet available at Midway so your chauffeur is ready when you land. The rate is a flat $99 in either direction, so a campus visit or a museum day starts and ends with a predictable ride.
