What can I bring on an Air Trans flight?
I'm flying one way from Boston to Minneapolis with a brief stop in Milwaukee next week. What can I bring on the plane? The last time I flew was 2005 and I put a bag of pretzels in my carry on bag. Can I bring small bottles of alcohol? Or Starbucks maybe? I don't want to be beholden to the airlines for their pathetic, expensive food and drink

You can bring alcohol but it must be sealed and in your checked baggage. Any allowed liquid on your carry on cannot be larger than 3.4 ounces.

You can take any food and and soft drink you like on an aircraft, the rules regarding liquids is strict if brought in from outside the secure area, where they need to be in containers of no larger than 100ml (3.4 Fl oz) and should all fit into a 1 quart zip-lock bag. I would not recommend taking miniatures.

First time flying with a layover. Has anyone flown to/from Milwaukee's airport
First time flying with a layover. Has anyone flown to/from Milwaukee's airport?
Obviously, I don't get to fly very often. I'm flying to LA for the OSU/USC game and have a layover in Milwaukee. I have 50 minutes between flights. I tried to get a longer layover, but unfortunately this was my only option at the time I booked my flight. I'm worried about missing the connecting flight and having to book a later one. Is this enough time to get my luggage, check in, and board the other flight?

Don't worry - once you arrive in Milwaukee, you won't need to get your luggage or check in again for your next flight. Your luggage will get transfered automatically and you will get both your boarding passes when you first arrive and check in (at your original departure airport). All you have to do is check the signs and go to the gate for your next flight. You'll also already be inside the security zone so you won't have to do security again either. 50 minutes could be a bit tight especially if your first flight is delayed. I don't know much about the Milwaukee airport but I don't think it's super huge. Don't stress about it though - the airline will accomidate you if there is a problem.

In a smaller airport, like Milwaukee's, 50 minutes should be more than enough time. Good luck!
3 :
you should not have to get your luggage, It will be check thru to your destination. Mil is not a huge airport and the layout is fairly tight. 50 min will be plenty to meet your flight Good luck and Go Buckeyes

it depends if you are connecting to the same airline wich im assuming you are. mikewaukee is a smaller airport and 50 minutes would be plenty...especially since you dont need to claim and recheck your luggage... it will continue on and you dont go thru security again. the only way you wouldnt make it is if your flight is delayed to weather or non weather related issues. in that case the airline will reacommodate you on another flight. dont stress. ive seen people make way shorter connections in milwaukee.

Is there any way to avoid a fee by changing your airline ticket
Is there any way to avoid a fee by changing your airline ticket?
We were origionally flying from Richmond To Chicago To Milwaukee, with the return flight coming back the same way. But our plans have changed and now we just want to fly Richmond to Chicago and back. But the airlines are trying to charge us $500 to not continue to Milwaukee. Also our return trip gets voided if we don't get on the plane to Milwaukee. Any suggestions on how to avoid the $500 fee? We are already flying this route, so nothing has to be changed, they are just charging us more to fly less. Eek.

they are charging you to change the ticket, not because of any cost difference from the change in your destination. when you buy a ticket, you can purchase a non-refundable, no-change one, or you can pay more and have the ability to modify the ticket at a later date. i assume you paid for the first, and now you are seeing the consequences. the reason why they charge for such things is because airlines rely on being able to fully book flights ahead of time to make their the flight profitable. if people are always changing their schedules it makes very hard to keep the flight fully booked. one person isn't a big deal, but if they allow everyone to do it it becomes a problem. i am not saying i like it either, but it is sort of something you need to understand when you buy a ticket.

orbitz.com is pretty cheap i use them all the time im just moved from wi
2 :
go to priceline.com or 1800flycheap.com there you can name your price, it gives you a non-stop flight and you can put in a price your willing to pay i got a flight from LAX to JFK for $35 including tax on American. It was at 11:00am. you can also check out priceline.com's regular fares.

Booking through the airline's website is probably the cheapest option. I fly constantly for work - almost 100 times a year - and always book through the airline's website. I check sites like expedia.com or orbitz.com just to see which airline has the cheapest flights, then I go to that airline's website and book the flight because I always get the exact same fare through the airline. Also sites like expedia.com all charge a "booking fee" of $5 or more, so it's actually cheaper through the airline. And many airlines guarantee that you'll find the cheapest fares through their own website (I know American Airlines does). You could check the "low-fare" airlines too (like Southwest Airlines or JetBlue) - but I don't think many of them fly out of Milwaukee and also in my experience they're actually MORE expensive.
