MKE is Wisconsin’s largest airport with around seven million passengers using it annually. Its 13 airlines serve about 90 cities and offer approximately 235 daily departures and 235 arrivals. Considered by fliers to be uncrowded and convenient - especially for those living in Chicago’s northern suburbs - it is seen as a good alternative to Chicago O’ Hare. www.mitchellairport.com
