November 23, 200520 yr Where is the Customs Office at Midway? Is it all housed in the main terminal, or is it in a separate building away from the terminal like some airports?

November 23, 200520 yr Author Oh they definitely have international flights. They charter to Mexico (Cancun, etc) all the time.
November 23, 200520 yr Author My mom is going to Cancun, and they were trying to figure out if they were going to have to be outside when they got back. I guess that Indianapolis the Customs area is in another building and they make you stand outside when going from the plane to and through Customs.

Come to think of it, we made that exact same trip to Cancun out of Midway, I'd forgotten about that. I can't remember where we did customs on the way back though, sorry.
November 23, 200520 yr Author I can't tell from the map, but some of the verbage when I did a search seems to indicate that it's inside the main set of terminals, somewhere.
November 23, 200520 yr Just called, it's in the Lower level. It is not accessible to the public, only to people getting off of planes.

November 23, 200520 yr Midway doesn't have international flights outside of the occasional cancun and canadian flight because the runways are too short. The bigger jets need longer runways than the busiest square mile of aviation can handle. That's why they fly to O'Hare.

I know - but I do know about the charter flights to Cancun, which I guess is what my mom's going to be on. It's an ATA flight, I guess...

Southwest also blocked some of Ata's routes. ATA used to fly LA to Chicago, now all those flights are Southwest flights.
