Please note: As Midwest and our airline partner, Frontier Airlines, continue to expand our service from Milwaukee, there are more passengers than ever on our convenient morning departures. This is creating a "crunch" at the D Concourse security checkpoint at peak travel times. While we're working actively with the Transportation Security Administration, which have added staff at peak times, we could also use your help.
If you're scheduled to fly from Milwaukee on a morning flight (especially on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays) we strongly encourage you to arrive 90 minutes to two hours before your scheduled flight time. That way we can ensure that you're comfortably on board and depart on time. Thank you for your cooperation. Milwaukee is a vacation destination of its own and gateway to Wisconsin’s North Woods. Fine art and international dining, classic entertainment and cultural festivals draw people from Chicago, Boston, Phoenix, Kansas City, Minneapolis and even L.A. Summerfest, the world’s largest music festival, offers 10 summer days of unbeatable music at the city’s expansive lakefront festival park. Wisconsin is also home to some of the most challenging golf courses in the country. Visitors fly Midwest Airlines to Milwaukee from coast to coast. Amtrak’s Hiawatha offers seven daily roundtrips (six on Sunday)
between Chicago and Milwaukee, all stopping at Amtrak’s station at
Mitchell International Airport. Free shuttle service is available
between the station (located next to the parking area) and the main
terminal. The airport station offers convenient, easy access to
Chicago-area travelers who want quality travel options without the
inconveniences associated with travel out of O’Hare.
