Narrative:
At cruise altitude, captain felt that the flight controls were sticking, which was not normal. Captain decided, after working with flight controls, to divert to ord instead of mdw due to longer runway. Captain kept cabin crew advised of all decisions and kept passenger informed as well. Our flight landed without incident. No planned emergency briefing necessary. In ord, we switched aircraft, reboarded the few passenger that were going on to mdw, took off from ord to mdw. No other problems with new aircraft. Our crew then continued on the rest of our 3 day trip.
