Southwest to End ORD Flights in June, Redirecting Chicagoland Travelers

TL;DR
Southwest Airlines will cease operating flights at Chicago O'Hare in June, with ORD service ending June 3, 2026; trips involving ORD on or after June 4 will be affected. Affected customers can rebook or standby through Chicago Midway or reroute via Milwaukee or Indianapolis, and refunds are available for unused tickets on/after June 4. The airline did not state a reason. The same changes apply to Washington Dulles, and analysts note ORD capacity concerns amid FAA considerations and competition from United and American.
