New Chicago Hyatt Open – Perfect For Southwest Flyers

Written by Charlie

When it comes to flying on Southwest, the deals are often and the points are valuable. Also valuable is the no fees on baggage. What can be difficult, at times, is getting to some of the destinations from your home airport without an overnight in the “hub” city for your longer flight. That is the case with a lot of the new Central America and Caribbean flights for some passengers.

New Hyatt In Chicago – The Hyatt Place Chicago/Midway Airport

So, it is always nice to have a convenient hotel in the area of the airport to crash in before/after your connecting flight. I always prefer Hyatt hotels because of the consistent value I can get from the points and the fact that those points can be transferred from Ultimate Rewards. Now, that is possible at Midway Airport in Chicago as the Hyatt Place Midway just opened up!

This new Hyatt is located only two blocks from Chicago’s Midway airport and has a 24 hour airport shuttle. Like other Hyatt Place hotels, this new hotel gives a complimentary breakfast, known as A.M. Kitchen Skillet.

The Points For Stays

This Hyatt is a category 2 which requires 8,000 points for a free night or 4,000 points and $55 for a Points+Cash night.

Anyone have upcoming travel through Midway and need to spend the night? If you stay here, let us know how it was!
