Didn't ILG-MDW go down to 2x weekly during the winter? I know now it's up again during Chicago's peak season with MDT-MDW, and TTN-MDW daily.
Another factor this winter is Southwest starting all those DCA-MDW flights. BWI-MDW flights is selling for $120 one-way now, I think $20 less than last year. It was $110 or so originally when DCA-MDW was put into the schedule. I don't know if Southwest will curtail IAD-MDW or if it will keep that much capacity to MDW from the WAS airports, and keep low fares on BWI-MDW to fill seats, which might diminish interest from some to use ILG-MDW.
The TTN-MDW fares always seem higher when I check between the two (TTN-MDW and ILG-MDW).
