For a relatively small airport, MKE has a great Delta Sky Club in Terminal D. Check it out. Self managed bar and they even have one of my my fav WI beers "Spotted Cow" ale from New Glarus Brewery!
VISITMilwaukeeJanuary 27, 2012A low-fare, easy travel choice offering dozens of non-stop flights, options for local cuisine, a GREAT used bookstore, the Gallery of Flight Museum and FREE ping pong while you wait for your flight.
Felicia MoeisOctober 4, 2012You're allowed to go into a diff concourse for food as long as you have a boarding pass! On that note make sure you go to French meadow bakery in C for the best chicken & wild rice soup I've ever had!
This is a great little easy airport. Showcasing milwaukee based companies & putting thought into ensuring enough seating is in stark contrast to the crappy southwest terminal at la guardia.Upvoted Oct 7
You're home: Yay! Get yourself a beer. You're visiting: Welcome! Get yourself a beer.
Dave McJune 21, 2019Honestly my favorite airport. Clean, modern, not very crowded and small enough to easily walk the whole length. The rental cars are a short walk across the street from baggage claim.
While in Milwaukee check out the Lakefront Brewery tour $7 gets you four 6oz samples of some awesome beer, a souvenier glass, and a kick a** tour.
Christian CarrApril 30, 2017One of the most convenient airports to fly in and out of. The absolute best USO I have ever visited.
After feeling the wrath of O'Hare earlier today, I'm so happy to call this my home airport,
If you have a friend waiting to pick you up, have them wait in 3rd floor parking structure. Bing bang boom!
General Mitchell is an amazing airport! Always quick at check in and at the security check point. Would recommend flying through Milwaukee anytime- Milwaukee has one of the best airports. Easy in, easy out. Don't forget where you parked! Make sure to take a photo.
there’s a corner of the airport where Aaron Rodgers farted after eating an Auntie Ann’s pretzel that’s now sealed in an air tight glass case.
Welcome to our great city! Don't forget to pay a visit to Clock Shadow Creamery to pick up some fresh Cheese Curds. A Milwaukee original. http://clockshadowcreamery.com/our-story/
Perfect alternative to O'hare. TSA agents are as clueless as any major/mid-size airport. Not much food selection inside so don't come hungry. Colectivo coffee saves the day.
One of the best and easiest airports to fly in and out of!TSA are great, great shopping options but Food pretty much sucks...pre & post security.- If you have time, visit the Mitchell Gallery of Flight located near Concourse E. It is full of historical artifacts to Milwaukee’s aviation history and pays homage to Gen. Mitchell & Capt. Sijan
James AndrewJune 21, 2015Everyone here is super pleasant and I made from bag check to my gate in under 15 minutes!
Jean Newman GlockMay 18, 2013Fabulous used book store at entrance to Concourse C. Like visiting the Library of Congress for vintage books on history. Renaissance Book Shop. Don't miss!
Mario MoyaAugust 22, 2019It’s a small but very good and friendly airport. The options for food are nice and the walking distances are not crazy at all.
Polonicus21September 11, 2013Fly southwest. find an attractive person . Make conversation before boarding so you can choose your seat and not have to sit next to the big or annoying person. Safe travels
GGMay 28, 2014If you have to change planes and the lay over is more than 1 hour, make sure you eat or have a sack snack cause eateries are slim to none! "Seriously" the bathrooms nice are though😃
There is a used book store before security. Fabulous old books and current ones —single owner for many years.- Flying Southwest or United (Concourse C) and needing coffee? Skip the Starbucksright after security and head to Concordia Market across from Chili’s. They serve Anodyne!
There's still 20 min of free wifi via Boingo. Click the "Get Online Now" button and choose the complimentary option. Watch an ad and you've got time to send a quick email.
Be sure to get to the airport a bit early as there is a nice used book store in the concourse.
Jeffrey LansingAugust 7Very easy airport to get in and out of. Midwest friendly. Small and efficient. Easy peasy.
Todd EdwardsSeptember 3, 2019This is an easier for me to get in & out of the MKE airport than the Chicago O'hare. Easier to drop off & collect bags as well as departing the gates are close by.
DougMay 19, 2015Check out the used book store and the aviation museum (both outside of the secure areas)
Chase MohneyNovember 7, 2013Grab some Alterra Coffee in Concourse D (maybe the others as well). A major step above your average airport coffee.
Ed WygnalSeptember 5, 2013If you are stuck in the area for the night the new Marriott Residence Inn is awesome. I may be biased since I was the principal in charge for the A/E team.- I think this art installation has seen better days! Lets put something more "worthy" of }Milwaukee!
Hungry and thirsty swing by, Cafe Lulu just 4.2 miles north 2265 South Howell AvenueMilwaukee WI 53207
Easy to navigate, love the “Recombobulation area sign” after TSA check in.
Brad BernardAugust 21, 2014Think you missed the chance to get a cheese hat? Grab one in the Airport to wear on the flight.
If you are overly kind to the agents checking you in, you just might score a favor or an extra nice seat.
Darrell Lea Licorice is the best! Buy it at any of the shops inside you will not be disappointed! Try the strawberry!
Jay TarbellSeptember 9, 2013Got a layover here with kid(s)? The Children's Play Areas are genius. Let them burn off their energy here and sleep on the plane!
Milwaukee GOctober 15, 2011Love this airport, nice and chill, and altarra coffee...delicious, but expect a long line. Home of the Milwaukee Brewers, how can u not love it!
Stephanie RamirezOctober 13, 2013Flying out of Milwaukee? Use the GO Riteway airport shuttle! It's cheap and they get you to the airport with plenty of time. Schedule a pick-up 24 hours in advance. Rountrip service gets $1 off!
Calling all bad jokes. TSA's "Bad Joke Friday" is alive and well. Submit your jokes by placing them in the comment box. Remember! Keep 'em clean! TSA is a family establishment. ;)
Pianist in the main concourse playing beautiful Christmas music during December. Love it.
inkpushcoMarch 2, 2014Grab a cuppa from Collectivo coffee while waiting for your flight. Great coffee and tea selections!
Not a lot of food choices, but chili’s on this concourse is always a safe bet for quick and simple food.
Joel CJanuary 8, 2015The free WiFi is on a 2 hour timer, 4 hours max per device. Space out your devices if you are on a layover ;)
Great service today. From check in to customs to boarding. Very friendly and expedient.
Nice small airport, be sure to grab something to eat before security as option after are limited.
