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!

Jesse Cook Answers to Milwaukee

Milwaukee’s outdoor music venues have grown in popularity during our power packed summers, so it was refreshing to be at a concert with so little traffic or crowded walkways as the Sharon Wilson Center’s sprawling fields allowed for Frisbee players and dog walkers to join in as casual onlookers. Kids and coffee, stars and strums, bongo lines and percussion rhythms all partook as Jesse Cook and company performed in the Brookfield field.

But questions from the audience? At an outdoor summer concert? Jesse Cook answered his fans personal questions on Saturday, August 1st. Was it the serene Sharon Wilson Center for the Arts in Brookfield, Wisconsin that allowed the artist to reach out with confidence - or are Milwaukeen’s just that friendly and approachable?

The first time I heard his music, I found it a cross between the Gipsy Kings and Ottmar Liebert. Then learned at the concert while spending 10 years in Arles, France, Jesse found his passion while living (what are the chances) next door to Nicolas Reyes from the Gipsy Kings. Now living in Canada (you’ll just have to read his biography to see how he ended up North), Milwaukeen’s got a real treat with both his performance, personal interaction, and a perfect night under the stars.
