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!
From 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
Concourse 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.
Try 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
Welcome 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 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.
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.
The cost cutting continues. Don't schedule a 7am Frontier flight and expect to quickly get through security. I'm in a 45 minute line because only 1 of the multiple x-ray machines are staffed.
