To those familiar with Midway airport: How easy it is to figure out where to go to pick up/drop off someone at that airport? Mapquest and AAA show it's not hard to find it from the Sheraton (and to get back onto the road for me to go home) but is it hard to understand where to find people who fly in/out?
 
I've only been there 2 times (round trip 2 x) and it should be really easy - go to arrivals area of the airline they are coming in on (or if it has a gate) and departures was the same - if leaving from Southwest - go to the Southwest departure area -
 
It's very easy. There are signs on Cicero directing you for arrivals and departures. Departures are upstairs and arrivals are downstairs, both on the east side of Cicero. There are ramps off of Cicero from both directions (northbound and southbound).

Thanks! This is good to know. I will be picking her up on my way from WI to the Sheraton and then taking her back from the hotel on my way to NC so I needed to know that it won't be too stressful to get around Chicago and AROUND Chicago from there (KWIM?).
 
Also, if you are early picking her up, there is a "cell phone lot" on the south end of the airport where you can park for free and wait for her to call you and tell you she has arrived. Then you can drive back up to the terminal and pick her up at the curb instead of having to drive around. :)
