Is 25 minutes enough time to make a connection

Is 25 minutes enough time to make a connection?
I'm flying from Hyannis to Boston with a 4 hr 10 min connection in Boston. But then in Boston I switch to Frontier Airlines to fly from there to Milwaukee. in Milwaukee it says I have only a 25 minute layover between that flight and my last flight from Milwaukee to Omaha. Help! Is this even near enough time to make a connection in Milwaukee General Mitchell International Airport? Hyannis to Boston is on Cape Air.

It is going to depend on what gate you arrive in. I have before arrived on the gate next to my departing one, I was able to connect within 10 minutes or so. I would generally say that it is really really close. If you can change it I would. http://youngglobalcitizen.com

25 mins is tight for a connection, look at the interactive map to see if you will arrive and depart from the same concourse >> http://www.mitchellairport.com/mia_map01.html

Generally an hour is the "safe" buffer you need. An aircraft can take quite a while from landing to actually you getting off the plane, easily a half hour. The reccomendation is an hour at minimum. Good luck

Yes you must show an offical government issued photo ID in order to get on any plane in the United States. This has been in effect since about 1996 after the Oklahoma city bombing of the Federal Building in htat city. All passengers must show an official government issued photo ID which is basically your state drivers license or a non-drivers license id or a valid US Passport. So since you are going to Frankfurt you will have your US Passport with you so you just need to show this (passport) govt issued photo id in order to initiate your domestic travel from Milwaukee to Newark. Then as you know you will have to again show your Passport when boarding the flight to Frankfurt from Newark airport.

CO/Continental will require from you at counter your passport, as you will be flying an international flight! EWR Aiport = walk! And some great pizza near C110!

Midway vs. Milwaukee: Which would you choose

Midway vs. Milwaukee: Which would you choose?
We live in the near west suburbs of Chicago. Midway is ~45 mins away, where we have flown many times from, Milwaukee is ~2 hours away, where we have never flown from Milwaukee.. PROS AND CONS Midway is $500 more expensive for all four of us roundtrip, and we can't get a nonstop flight. However, Milwaukee has only one flight per day to that destination, the one leaving Milwaukee leaves at 8:45, forcing us to leave Oak Park at about 4:30 AM, which is on the early side =]. Which would you pick?

I would pick Midway, becuase what are you going to do with your car when you get to Milwakee, youll end up paying $100s in time/gas/and lot rental fees.
2 :
i would go with milwaukee, you can always take the train that goes from chicago to milwaukee. so you would not have to worry about paying for your car to sit. Its pretty cheap to take the train, and its fast. You can take it from downtown chicago or any other stops from the suburbs. I guess midway would be more convenient for you though.
3 :
I would pick Milwaukee because it is a non-stop flight. 2 hours worth of gas in a car is not $500, and, since we are in a recession, it is good to save money.
4 :
Go to Midway Airport. I live in the Chicago suburbs and frequently fly out of Midway. It's easy to get to and from the airport, as well as easy to navigate once inside. Plus, you'll save money on gas and fares if you go to Midway. Milwaukee is too much of a driving hassle and way too expensive for you. In addition, what if the weather is snowy and travel is poor? Then you'll be in trouble if you choose Milwaukee. Midway rarely has cancellations and doesn't usually have long delays in poor weather. I choose Midway.
5 :
I'd fly out of Milwaukee... If it's an option, drive up the night before and stay at a hotel overnight to avoid having to wake up so early... Even with the hotel, gas, etc. you're still going to be spending less and not have an annoying layover...
6 :
The nice thing about the Milwaukee airport - is that it is NEVER crowded - and is very easy to get into and out of. If you're saving over $150 to fly Milwaukee instead (after your excess cost of interrim transportation, etc...) it is definately worth your time.

I went to kayak.com and it seems like there are none. It is generally pretty difficult to find flights between non major cities that are nonstop. Not sayng San Diego is not major, but isn't it pretty close to L.A?
2 :
Anytime I want to fly somewhere, I always pull up cheaptickets dot com. It tells me every flight leaving to the destination area. And gives me lots of choices. I can see from the choices exactly which airlines travel to that area. And I get the best price on tickets and choices of times. It shows every airline that goes to that destination and gives the times of the flights. No guess work involved. And if it doesn't show a particular airline it means the airline doesn't fly to that area. It's all very clear and easy.

You might not. What I do and everyone else does, is fly into chicago midway and take the 18$ amtrak or greyhound into milwaukee, you porbably save over 100$ and find a flight easier!
