Unless you request them you won't get a "paper ticket"--when you check in at MKE you can either use the automatic kiosks--you insert your credit card or ff card and it will pull up your ressies and print out your boarding passes right there. A ticket agent will tag your bags and you're on your way. Or you can wait in line and wait for a ticket agent to print your boarding passes for you--we had to do this b/c we had an infant in-lap in our party and had to make sure they knew about her. And normally they just ask for your name and don't even need the confirmation numbers, but I would have them justin case there is a problem. Have a great trip! We hope to fly Midwest out of MKE in Sept!
