I'm really confused by your question. Are you asking if you can make a week-long connection between two flights? If so, that's impossible. Are you asking if you can get off in your connection city, stay the week, and get back on on the return portion of your ticket AT the connecting city and return to your originating city? If that's what you're asking, then probably no. The airline will notice that you have not travelled 2 out of the 4 flights (the flight from Chicago to Milwaukee and Milwaukee to Chicago) and will cancel the remainder of the itinerary. People try to do this to get cheaper tickets and the airlines know people do it, so they try to catch people and cancel the remainder of the itinerary. If you WANT to do the whole Chicago stay deal, looks like you're going to be buying several one-way tickets. Sorry :-(

Alica, if your fare is based on a connection, not a lay-over, in Chicago, then the airline can charge you for the Chicago-NC fare plus the Chicago-Milwaukee fare. There is a difference between a lay-over and a connection in fare construction. If you are supposed to make a connection in Chicago, and stay there, when you try to use the Chicago-Milwaukee portion of your ticket, you will be charged quite a bit for the difference in fare. In short, don't do this. It may cost you $200 or more. Regards, Dan

That would be nice!! I live between the two cities and this has happend to me! You CAN NOT get off in Chicago or else your ticket to go back will be voided!! You must stay on the flight to your next destination. I know it stinks but thats the way the airlines rules go! Good Luck!

Sure, you could get of in Chicago and stay as long as you want, but when it comes time to go back to North Carolina, you'll have to buy a new ticket. When you fail to show up for the return flight in Milwaukee, they will give your seat to someone on stand-by. You have to complete the trip on your ticket, as scheduled, in order to get full credit of that ticket.
