Those 4 flighs of the days were to have 4 more segments to my Platinum status, to a very good deal (USD 140.-). But also for the joy of flying and to log two new airports, MDW + STL and to fly the B717-200 for the first time.
About Midway itself, Durian made a very good report, you can find it here: http://flight-report.com/fr/report-4138.html (sorry, French only, but pictures speak from themselves)
The 'L' provides easy and fast access to MDW for USD 2.25.- The only minor thing is that there is a lot of walkways to follow until the terminal. But it's clean and the signage is good.

My flight, scheduled to be on time:

Some views of the check-in area, where only DL and WN had open desks. As I have 4 flights that day, the self service kiosk can't print me my last BP. I make a quick pass by the SP counter and receive my docs for the whole day.

Then, you have to go down to enter the departure level. There has been a massive queue that morning at TSA and no TSA-pre for me. Infos about TSA-pre registration to be found here: http://www.tsa.gov/tsa-precheck/participation-tsa-precheck
On a random basis, you can be eligible for TSA-pre, and that's just awesome. No more need to remove shoes, belts, laptops… A reminder of post 2001 years…
As said, not for me today, half an hour of queuing in the priority lane, lane that will move slower than the others!! It was dead long, thanks god, I had plenty of time!
Doors A 1,2 and 3 are international and a spotter's nightmare:

Lots of people at TSA, but the terminal A is about empty:

Some spotting:

WN is the master here:
