Bloomberg TV HDDecember 19, 2012Welcome to Milwaukee. As of 2011, Wisconsin had the best-funded pension system in the United States at a pension funding rate of 99.8%. Second best is South Dakota.
If you live in northern suburbs of chi, fly delta between LGA and MKE. Easiest airport in America.
Newaukee ArtsNovember 22, 2011Get to know the real Milwaukee. Go to www.artmilwaukee.com while you are in town for a list of upcoming free and ticketed monthly events.
KeithAugust 31, 2012Go Riteway is the cheapest way to get from the airport to any hotel in Milwaukee. $24 for a round trip ticket. Can't beat it!
Nick DamianoDecember 6, 2012If you're not from the area, grab a New Glarus beer or two. They're awesome and only available in Wisconsin.
Remember to cross through the skyway on the 3rd floor from the parking lot. This will save you from having to go outside to get to the terminal.
Concourse E - Cooler by the Lake has surprisingly good food. The breakfast quesadilla is big enough for 2 & delicious. order extra salsa.
Laird NelsonSeptember 19, 2013In Terminal C, look for the poster describing the tile mosaic art on the floor. Carlos Alves has made something really neat.
Scott ColquettMarch 2, 2012Northpoint makes the best burger I have ever eaten in an airport. Period! (actually that is an exclamation point. Ironic)
If you're in concourse D, know that there is a moving walkway on the *lower* level but not the upper. There are escalators at both ends, so it's effectively a shortcut.
Don't forget to get your #harley stuff b4 you leave! Great gift shop b4 security.
If you have a split flight which includes Frontier, keep in mind you have to leave security and re-enter as Frontier has a separate concourse with its own security.
The discombobulation area after security is so nice! Older adulta can sit down to put their shoes on. Very nice!
Dewan TarekMarch 5, 2012Try taking the bus there. The Milwaukee transit system seems pretty reliable and convenient as well with bus stops directly by the arrivals and departure gates
Ellie HansonAugust 31, 2013Concourse E is brutal. Hardly a gate agent in sight, all concourse departure monitors inaccurate. I'd suggest staying pre-security before your flight as long as possible.
Diane Carlisle FlutyFebruary 3, 2019Easy security and they sell Hint Water at the Third Ward in Concourse C
I've got a little to for the morons out there, if your damn "carry on" doesn't even fit down the middle aisle of the plane, it's too big and you need to check it before boarding & holding us all up.
Love love love the bookstore outside of security. Worth going out and in again.
Eat before heading down Concourse E! Only one restaurant, Cooler by the Lake once you pass security. For how the food is, check reviews.
Hoang Son DaoJanuary 29, 2015The museum is very small and not as interesting as I thought. The pianist is a nice touch. There are decent food options both pre and post security.
Don't forget to do your civic duty and opt-out of the X-ray and "millimeter wave" scanners!
Mal MeyerJanuary 15, 2013You never know how long the security line will take. Don't hold it up by leaving things in your pocket. Everything has to be put in a bin now.
Anthony ApiladoAugust 12, 2015Don't drive in circles. There's a cellphone area that you can park up to 30 mins for free.
Sign up for TSA pre-check and skip the recombobulation madness!
Start your trip on a bad note with the Fox News playing at every gate! #facepalm
John ANovember 22, 2014Nice airport.. With no one inside. Best food choices are before going through security.
In Concourse C, there are comfy seats with power outlets and USB outlets by Gate 22
I'm here every single day. I'm that Clark kent gate agent lookin dude. Come say hi! I don't bite, except during delays, cancelations, and any given Monday.
Evan ManningAugust 18, 2013Be ready when your flying out of here. This place feels disorganized but the people are nice. Also don't get run over crossing the street to pick up your rental car. People don't stop, just walk.
Park on level 3 - red section. Right level for the terminal, and closest too! Though often very full...
When you land here, take your time and perhaps grab some food as checked bags take about 30 minutes
Mike DeeringJanuary 24, 2012From an Illinoisan who lives minutes from O'Hare, trust me when I say Mitchell is waaaaay better, and worth the drive to experience less stress, better attitude, better food services, low cost parking
I totally agree--Frontier/Midwest/Republic/whatever is a far cry from the excellent service Midwest was known for. So sad. They don't bake the cookies on board anymore and don't know what Leinies is!- Soon we will have a brand spankin new baggage claim area :) not sure who is the architect. Do you?
