Extremely UNlikely. If the departing flight is delayed in any way, even a few minutes waiting on the taxi way to get to the head of the line for takeoff, you could so easily miss the connection. You might have to wait for 5 or 10 minutes after you arrive in Milwaukee for a gate to open. Anything at all like that could make you late. Remember that you are supposed to be boarded BEFORE the time listed for departure. The airline would like be able to have the doors closed and be pulling away from the gate at that time. I <<seriously>> recommend that you find something with at least a 1 hour connecting time.

You should be ok. If both planes are with the same airline, the gates are usually in the same terminal. MKE isn't that big of an airport. The only issue that I can foresee is in the size of the aircraft. Sometimes big planes use different terminals from small planes. The airline may be able to help with specific details if you call them. Additionally, if you happen to get a customer service rep in India or somewhere like that, you can ask them to transfer you to a rep in the U.S. and they legally are required to do that. I hope this helps. p.s. Flights often start boarding 30 mins. prior to departure.

The Central Time to Pacific time difference is 2 hours. Lv. Milwaukee at 2:30 PM add 4 hrs. flight which would in Milwaukee time be 6:30 PM, now deduct the 2 hrs. time difference and your answer is: 4:30 PM
2 :
Not sure where you got those abbreviations. Since we don't use either CDTZ or WCTZ in the US. Milwaukee is in the Central Time Zone (CST now, the D is only used for Daylight savings time which we are now off until March). Los Angeles in the Pacific Time Zone (PST). PST is 2 hours behind CST. So if you leave Milwaukee at 2:30pm and take a 4 hour flight, it would be 6:30pm CST when you land. Turn your clock back 2 hours and it will be 4:30pm PST in Los Angeles.

Which is cheaper, plane or car

Which is cheaper, plane or car?
Hi, I am trying to persuade my mom to let me take a plane down to Sarasota from Milwaukee. It is 1,313 miles. She gets 20MPG. What is the price of total gas? The roundtrip flights to Milwaukee and Sarasota is $231, and that would be 2626 miles total. So basically what I'm asking is the price for 2626 miles with 20MPG. Thanks in advance!

1 :
divide the number of miles by 20 then multiply the price of gas per gallon. off hand i would say you can't beat the roundtrip price.
2 :
it would be about 132 gallons of gas, at about $3 a gallon it would be cheaper to fly
3 :
Well at 20 MPG that means you will need 131.3 gallons of gas at about $3 a gallon so its $393.90 for gas averaging $3 a gallon.
4 :
its around 260 tanks of gas so multiply that by three so like $1000 gas, but you'll probably get better gas milage than 20 on the highway and so with that and the amount of money you save on luggage that you can take i would say car is cheaper, but since you got such a cheap flight (231$ roundtrip sounds fishy b/c its so cheap) i have to say flying is cheaper
5 :
With gas money, long distances are usually cheaper to fly unless booked at the last minute.

Hi Jason, it's good that you're thinking! Depending upon your age, I'd probably have tried to get you to do the simple gas math yourself, but others have gone ahead and given you some info. Here's some more things to consider.... The airfare is times 2 remember. Will you drive each way non-stop? If not what will a hotel cost? How about meals on the road? If you fly, will she need to rent a car in Sarasota or take taxis/limos? What's that car cost per day? Or taxi/limo costs? There's another potential cost in Milwaukee if you fly; can you guess it? Good luck running all the numbers; it's a very mature exercise to do! RJ
