Common questions about The Club MDW

Is The Club MDW busy right now?
No airline or lounge operator publishes queue lengths, so Tempo shows what travellers inside the lounge have reported in the last 90 minutes — that, or nothing. Never a guess. Open The Club MDW in the Tempo app to see the current wait. It's free.
How long is the wait at The Club MDW?
Lounge waits are all-or-nothing: walk in freely for most of the day, then hit a waitlist when the departure bank fills. The difference is usually the hour you arrive. Tempo shows the live wait from people there right now, so you can decide before you leave instead of finding out at the door.
What's the best time to go to The Club MDW?
Lounges fill up alongside the departure banks they serve — early morning and late afternoon are the crushes, and a lounge that is empty at 2pm can be turning people away at 5. Many run a waitlist you can join from your phone. General patterns only -- for what travellers are reporting right now, check the live wait in Tempo.
Can I walk in to The Club MDW, or is there a wait?
