 | Milwaukee Flights and Airline Tips | 1 - 10 of 10 |  |
Milwaukee's airport is Mitchell (MKE is the code). It is a hub for Midwest Express, an airline I highly recommend. You sit in first-class sized leather seats, two across instead of three, and get warm cookies as a snack.
Drive. It's a car-dependent city. There is a bus system, but if you go there in winter you're not going to want to freeze your buns off waiting for public transportation. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Milwaukee's airport has been interestingly refurbished, and is well appointed and easy to navigate. Although your choice of flights will be more varied if you opt to fly into Chicago's O'Hare, app. 90 miles South, this airport is much more traveler friendly. Normally not overly crowded either. One of my favorite things about this airport is that you can access rental cars directly from the terminal without requiring a shuttle bus. Also has good shopping areas with local flavor.

And how wonderfully quirky for Milwaukee to have a USED BOOK STORE in its main airport terminal! (They do have a few recent issues, but it's mostly "used".) Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

From Chicago you can take either 94 or 41 which merge back together around the state line.
We drove up on 41, the downside to this route is that there are several stop lights and a lower speed limit but there are no tolls and it might be a quicker route if the tollway has a lot of traffic.
We drove back on 94 which is a toll road from the state line to Deerfield where it becomes a non toll highway. There were two tolls, the first was 75 cents which you pay near the Wisconsin border and another for 50 cents when you merge onto the non toll portion. 4/2/05 update-Illinois recently doubled the tolls for people not using the I Pass, so I think those tolls are now $1.50 and $1
The speed limit is 65 for a portion of 94 so if traffic is flowing, that is the quicker route. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

In the downtown area, it seemed like you could either park at metered spots or in low cost garages. We didn't see any non metered spots but honestly we didn't look very hard.
We misread the sign, it said on Saturdays until 6 pm there was a 2 hour limit, during the week there was a 2 hour metered limit. So I don't think we needed to feed the meter on Saturday but I think I will get over the $1.50 it cost me. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Get I94 from Chicago and drive north. Or take an airplane to the Milwaukee International Airport. I suppose a trip with a ship is also possible through the lake Michigan, but unfortunately I don't have any information about it. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

Coming from Chicago, the easiest and fastest way is I-94 North. Also the Amtrak train is quite comfortable. If you're driving, watch out for highway patrol. Apparently Wisconsinese (?) take speed limits very seriously.
I highly recommend driving to Milwaukee on I-794. The highway is near the lake and has a long bridge with an excellent view over the city.
The city itself is quite accessible by foot, as long as you have a good grip to the pavement (heavy winds, reminiscent of Chicago). Milwaukee has a public transportation system also. Theme: Car/Motor Home
