Nobody does. However AirTran has a flight (353) that stops in baltimore - but you don't change planes. Greatly reduces the lost-luggage possibility. That's all I got....

Can I use only part of one-stop flight
Can I use only part of one-stop flight?
I live half way between Milwaukee and Chicago airports. To fly to some destinations I have noticed that I have the possibility to fly direct from Chicago or with one-stop from Milwaukee via Chicago to final destination!!! And the one-stop flight from Milwaukee is generally 3 times cheaper than the direct flight from Chicago; even though it has the same flight # from Chicago to destination and return. I was wondering if I could buy one-stop ticket departing from Milwaukee but just use the Chicago round trip part of the itinerary ;o) Thanks

Only if you have a carry on bag.
2 :
If you terminate travel before reaching your final destination, your return ticket will be null and void. This is called "hidden city" ticketing. This is in the same family as "back to back" ticketing. It is a violation of the airlines contract with you. You may be penalized by "debit memo" and charged for full fare, or denied boarding, or have your frequent flyer account canceled.
3 :
If you do not fly the Milwaukee sector, they will call this a no show and possibly cancel the Chicago to to final destination part. I'm a Travel Agent and so many people have done this before, they have booked a cheaper ticket from a certain city to a certain city and not flown the sector that they didn't really need. The rest of the connection was cancelled. I don't think they would cancel the return flight from your destination back to Milwaukee, but they will cancel the flight from Chicago to final destination. Which is fair enough, you are wasting space on the plane that other passengers could have travelled on.

Where can I go to Flight school cheaply and quickly in the milwaukee area
Where can I go to Flight school cheaply and quickly in the milwaukee area?
I'm hoping to get my pilots license before entering the air force to better my chances of becoming an air force pilot. Any details or helpful hints would be really great. Thanks

WOW they are really going to be impressed you've got a quickie pilots license and on the CHEAP too! NOT, NO WAY, NO HOW, save your money if your suitable pilot material then they will happily pay for your training otherwise forget it. Having a pilots license is one NOT CHEAP OR QUICK! And another thing a five minute wonder is more likely to put them off taking you on! I guessing this is some kind of a joke? No body can be that silly to believe that a PPL is going to hold any interest for the air force ?

Well, there is no "cheap" in aviation you're looking at about 5-10 grand to get a private (depending on skill/talent) and 30-40 to get a commercial multi (same concept). If it's still around there was a flight school at Timmerman Airport (a few miles out of Milwaukee) called Gran-Aire. As far as "quickly" goes it's all up to how fast you can spend money and learn. A private license can take as little as a week if you go about it the right way (this is by the regulations and it would involved 5-8 hours a day of flying which is brutal for a newbie). A commercial will take a (minimum) of 2 months of full time flying a learning. Though, realistically, plan for 3-4 months for a private and another 8-10 on top of that for the commercial. As far as "quality" of education, you have to pass the same test and are practically tested on the same stuff at a mom and pop flight school in the middle of the boonies as you are at the pilot-mills like AllATPs or Embry Riddle. In my experience the poorest pilots typically come from the mills while you get a better education at the mom and pop schools. This is mainly to do with the mills being overcontrolled and holding your hand the entire way while at the mom and pop places you learn from experience, and experience can't be taught.

Just Google Milwaukee flight school and call them up to find out what the costs are. It will cost about $125 an hour for an airplane and an instructor, $80 for the airplane solo. You need a minimum of 40 hours with 10 hours sols to get your license but 60-80 hours is probably about how many hours most people have when they get their license. With ground school $5,000 minimum and probably closer to $10,000 to get your license. If you have the money and the time you can have a license within a couple of months flying several times a week. Before spending any money I'd recommend that you first apply to the air force and see if you qualify. You don't need to enlist to take the tests. You can begin flight training after you're accepted. It can be a year or more before you will be told to report. Having a license isn't going to help you much as far as getting assigned to flight school in the air force. It might even be detrimental because you will have to unlearn some of what your civilian instructor taught you and learn to do it the air force way. I'd recommend not going much beyond solo just to get familiar with flying.

It is obvious that you have no concept of what you have to do to become a military pilot. let me enlighten you. You need to graduate from a 4-yr college, preferably in the AFROTC program. I chose the ROTC route to learn to fly because it paid my way through college via the scholarship program. Air Force ROTC is not open until you are actually entering college. Navy ROTC scholarship programs start the selection process in the fall of your senior year in high school. In the spring the selection process is complete and you can select which college you want to attend. You need to contact a local officer recruiter to get the details on beginning the selection process. What ever you do, do not enlist in the Navy. It is not required and may actually screw up your chances of selection. NROTC scholarships pay for full tuition, fees, books and a monthly stipend (money). Air Force ROTC only offers a stipend during the last 2 years you are in college. Whether the Air Force or Navy for flying? I chose the Navy for many reasons. Air Force training is pretty well done and the pilots get their wings at the same training point that Navy students finish their Basic Flight Training Command level. Air Force pilots then go to a training squadron where more advanced techniques are taught. Navy pilots complete Advanced Flight Training Command prior to getting their wings. After advanced Navy pilots go to a Replacement Air Group where they fly the fleet birds to which they have been assigned. The most notable difference is that Navy pilots learn to fly on and off aircraft carriers at each stage of the syllabus. In the final stage you fly off the boat both day and night. That is a considerable step up from taking off and landing on 8,000ft of concrete. My granny can land on 8,000ft of concrete (my bias is obvious and I am proud of it). You can be preselected for the Navy flight training prior to making any commitments, but if you wash out you have to complete your obligated service. If it were easy anyone could do it. That's why military aviators are understandably proud of their profession and professionalism. You chose. Pick one. Note: Do NOT get a pilot's license prior to starting any military flight program. Military flight instructors hate that because they have to squander valuable flight time undoing what the bug-smasher instructors have taught you. The military, especially the Navy, demands that you do it their way or its' the highway.

Go for the school who offers the best value for money, not whoever offers it quick and cheap... It doesn't work that way. Investigate whether integrated or modular will be better for you.

Check out farecast.com. Also you can take a look at bt-store.com. There are plenty of non-stop flights to vegas from milwaukee (and cheap, too!). You're gonna have to fork over lots of money if you want a non-stop return flight.

I can help. I always dislike when people are so vague in their air travel questions. You actually gave me travel dates! I can work with that! You only have two options for which airlines to take- Airtran or Midwest. Those are the only two airlines which have non-stop service to Las Vegas. Midwest Airlines is going to charge you $1400 for non-stop service on the dates you selected. Airtran is going to charge you $628.30. If If you decided to take a 1-stop itinerary flight, the price is $482.89. That is for Delta Airlines, and a stop in Atlanta.

Here is what I found . .. MKE to LAS - is really pricy for your dates non-stop Midwest airlines is the most expensive with $1347 Midwest 2 a day!! Then there is airtran which is about 801.00 bux!!! Really expensive best is to just go with a stop! The cheapest with a stop in Atlanta is like 475.00. All of these are round trip!
