Sail into Mitchell International Airport
No - really you’d fly in…. but with ease.
Named after the legendary William (Billy) Lendrum Mitchell (1879-1936), Milwaukee’s Mitchell International Airport has a convenient flow and feel.
Milwaukee’s airport welcomes over 8 million travelers a year including 55,000 who touch ground from international soil. And, this November (2009), Southwest Airlines will operate 12 daily nonstop flights to 6 destinations: 3 to Baltimore/Washington, 3 to Kansas City, 2 to Las Vegas, 2 to Orlando, 1 to Phoenix, and 1 to Tampa Bay. The new service has new fares to Milwaukee from $49 to $99.
While walking the concourses, look down and check out the mosaic medallions on the terrazzo floor, and stop in at the Harley Davidson gift shop and the Mitchell Gallery of Flight museum before leaving town.
Planning to visit Chicago this fall - why not fly into Milwaukee instead? Only 85 miles (1 1/2 hours) from downtown Chicago, flying to Milwaukee’s Mitchell Airport will save you time, congestion, and money compared to flying into O’Hare or even Midway airports!
Not going to rent a car? Take the Amtrak (Hiawatha Service) from Mitchell airport to Union Station in Chicago for only $22 each way!
If you are planning to fly into Milwaukee soon - we know you’ll enjoy landing with us!
