⚠️ Prices are subject to change until payment is made. No ground transfers included — it’s cheaper to Uber or bus it downtown with your group once you arrive. All packages include round trip Southwest flights HOU → MDW and hotel stay.

🚗 Ground Transfer Tip: Skip the individual Ubers — when you arrive, split one Uber or hop the bus downtown with everyone in your group. Way cheaper and faster than booking separate rides.
