How delays work at MKE

A ground stop holds flights bound for MKE at their origin airports. A ground delay program spaces arrivals out so the airport is not overloaded. Departure and arrival delay messages describe the average wait the FAA expects. None of these tell you whether your own flight is late, so always check your airline as well.

Local tips

  • Parking is cheapest in the Saver lot, which has a free 24-hour shuttle.
  • The rail station shuttle runs from baggage claim Door 5, and the Hiawatha train to Chicago is a practical alternative to driving.
  • Check the parking page before you park, since the homepage shows different figures.
