Yeah, Blue Line to Orange Line is your best bet if you don't mind it taking forfuckingever.

Anyone have suggestions? Uber would be around $75 total from my place to Midway. Four days of parking would be $60, so I'm leaning toward that option. Unless one of you dinguses wants to give me a lift next week.

I don't know if you have AAA but going through their site today for a rental car I found discounted parking at Midway FWIW....

Everybody should have AAA. It pays for itself every year.

One long tow, roadside tire change, or emergency battery jump makes it worth it in addition to hotel or car rental savings.

For anything lasting a week or less, I've parked on the street in the residential areas just south of the airport, east of Cicero Ave.

Park Ride and Fly on 47th street. Pre-pay it's only $10 a day. There are even additional coupons to make it cost less.

The shuttles follow you to your vehicle and are roaming the lots non-stop. You can load your own luggage on the shuttle bus or the driver will and prolly tip if he does.
The bus drops you across from the terminals where the shuttles for hotels and, duh, parking are.

Very good service. I've used them many, many times. Once they even gave me a courtesy jump, no extra charge.

Hot damn, Hussra. That's the advice I was looking for. Gracias!

For the record - both MDW and ORD give free jumps as well.

How much does AAA cost these days?

KRAMER: What's going on? JERRY: Keith Hernandez just asked me to help him move. KRAMER: What? Well, you hardly know the guy…. What a nerve. You see wasn't I right about this guy? Didn't I tell you? Now, you're not going to do it are you? JERRY: I said yes. KRAMER: YOU SAID YES!? Don't you have any pride or self respect? I mean, how can you prostitute yourself like this? I mean what are you going to do? You're going to start driving him to the airport? JERRY: I'm NOT DRIVING HIM TO THE AIRPORT! KRAMER: yeah yeah JERRY: Hey Kramer, do me a favor. KRAMER: What? JERRY: Don't mention it to anybody. KRAMER: I wish you never mentioned it to me.

Just make sure you catch the correct bus back to your car ("Economy Garage"...not "Economy Lot").

Gracias! always wondered who the weirdos were who use those off-airport parking services only in the last year have i discovered the ease and convenience of being able to drive your own vehicle to the airport and not have to pay too too much to leave it there AND having car-trunk-side shuttle that saves having to wrestle luggage around the parking structure up closer to the terminals. where i used to always park. if i didn't blue line to orange line it. i've used it every flight since; it's one of the few relatively easy/painless things about air travel these days.

We have called for two tow trucks this year, so whatever it costs, it's worth it.
