What this means for your flight
- MDW is operating normally in the current FAA snapshot. No stop, closure or delay program is listed.
- Local weather can still delay you. Check the weather panel above and your airline app.
- Check other airports on your route. A stop at your origin or destination is what matters, not the national total.
Typical ground stops last 15–90 minutes and are re-issued in short increments. Recovery at a large hub can add 2–6 hours after the order lifts, because released departures compete for the same slots.
