I am seeking some advice on flying into MDW (Chicago Midway). I will be
going IFR from Dayton.
I am planning on filing direct (/G) to the CGT VOR, because all STARs and
preferred routings seem to terminate at the CGT VOR with radar vectors
after that.
I am planning on parking at Atlantic Aviation. From Airnav it seems there
is a $15/day parking fee and a $7.50 landing fee, waived for the first
night with fuel purchase.
I have never been to MDW, but I am hoping that it is like any other class C
airport, albeit a bit busier.
Anything else I should know about MDW?

Piece of cake!
The trick is to time your arrival and departure between aircarrier pushes.
If you can do that, you can get in and out without delay.
Arrive or depart during a push, and, well, you will be in line for
awhile. They may be able to work you in VFR. Getting out VFR will depend
on what runway is in use and if you can get to it without waiting in line.
Maybe call and ask to talk to the Watch Desk and inquire when these
times are.
I don't know where Atlantic is on the field. You may want to call in
inquire. There is a train route on the east side, I think.
On the north side is Polish ethnic neighborhood. Really good deli
restaurants for meals.
