There are many reasons flying could be worth it. If the OP has to rent a car, plus gas, tolls, parking, it will easily exceed the cost of a $59 WGA fare. If going downtown to downtown Megabus is more direct, but if I were say a few segments away from AL or CP I would go with WN.

Assuming that you already own a car and enjoy driving, perhaps. It's not always an easy drive with traffic in Chicago and construction on I-65.

But in the winter IND-MDW can be very useful. I-65 between Indianapolis to Chicago can be very treacherous and sometimes impassable. An easy~3 hour drive to Chicago can easily become 5+ hours in the winter. There is massive wind farm in north of Lafayette. It can be very windy, icy, and snowy. Believe me I used to do the drive up to Milwaukee every week in the winter. Not very fun.
