Wisconsin DIS-ers -- Need help with Flights

[Disney4me04]

Okay what is the cheapest you get your flights for and which airline? I am flying out of Milwaukee.


This is my first time booking flights.

Is there a place that tells me what airlines fly out of Milwaukee.

Thanks

Hiya-- MN person checking in. While I can't tell you regular prices from MKE, I can tell you that if you check Orbitz and plug in your dates it will pull up all the airlines that have flights on those dates. It's at http://www.orbitz.com

There are only a couple airlines that don't have their lights on Orbitz, like Southwest and Jet Blue. Not sure if Southwest flies out of MKE, but I am pretty sure that Jet Blue doesn't.

I have heard good things about Midwest Airlines out of MKE, but again, being from MN, I haven't flown out of there.

Have you considered whether going to Chicago and catching a flight might work for you? That might be an option if the drive isn't long.

3 airlines that have non-stops out of MKE to Orlando are Midwest Express, Northwest, and Air Tran. Many other airlines have connecting flights from Milw to Orlando - American, Delta, Us Airways, Continental, United, and ATA. So you have a lot of choice.

Have you considered flying out of Rockford IL? It's what, an hour south for you....TMA flys out of there with one DIRECT flight every day to Orlando''s Sanford. We got our tix for $79 with a 5% discount for doing it online. We leave at 7am from Illinois and should be at the World by 11am--a full day to enjoy.
Just get on IFLYTMA.com. They may even have flights out of Milwaukee; they tend to use the smaller regional airports as base.

Chicago has many more options--but the delays will kill you. One year we were delayed 4 hours waiting for the plane to come in from the East coast, pick us up, and then head to Orlando. That made for a very short day at WDW.
WDW ON JUNE 24

Hi Can only dream of booking flights right now. We don't leave till October 2005. But I want to be ready of where to look when I hit the 330 days out.

Chicago is out. I do not have a car and to take a bus or train to O'hare is just not something I want to do.

So I have to pray for some cheaper flights leaving out of Milwaukee.

The plan is to get to Orlando as early as possible. We are not going to any parks (unless a waterpark) our first day. But I want to sit by the pool (if it is warm enough) or go to DTD if not. We have PS for the Hoop De Doo our first day in Disney.

Thanks for your help!

We are going October this year and I just booked Airtran out of Moline, IL. It is close to MIL who is going with us. They had the best times and price.

I would check the Airtran website frequently when your time gets closer. Also sign up for their fare watcher. They email you when they have sales.

Good Luck!

I like to fly on Midwest Express.

I'm going in September, leaving Milwaukee at 7:30am and will be in Orlanda a little after 11.

The price is only ok - not a great value, but not terrible - $250 each.

I usually check out Orbitz for flights when I book them for my work. And check out the Midwest Express site.
