Best way to get to Milwaukee WI from Hartford CT.?
I want to visit a relative a bit more frequent but as I am only a student I am a bit strapped for cash. Does anyone know the best way for me to travel there for say 3 day weekends (friday-sunday). I have looked into trains which appear to almost be as much as a flight. But I only know of amtrak. Are there other train lines I can take? Or would a bus be better?

Unfortunately Amtrak is the only intercity train service in the United States. Did you look into Amtrak's student discounts? http://www.amtrak.com

Are you more likely to get sick on a two hour flight than a 25 minute flight
Are you more likely to get sick on a two hour flight than a 25 minute flight?
silly question, I know. two weeks ago I flew to and from Milwaukee for a business trip on a little plane and the flight was 25 minutes. it got a little bumpy and I jumped once. I had to close my eyes when we were going down to land. in june I will be flying from Orlando to Detroit which is just over 2 hours of flight time. Will i experience any air sickness or anything. My one sister does experience sickness so she takes dramamine. I just want to be prepared.

No0o0o!?! Depends, 25 minutes on a bumpy puke tipping flight or a 2 hour splendid movie flight... 25 minutes flying over hell with its ferocius lightning or 2 hours seeing the beauty of heaven and its flying angels!
2 :
depends if the trip goes smoothly you wont get sick.. as much, i think
3 :
I would take some dramamine just in case, it won't hurt anything. You will probably be fine, little planes are always bumpier and you probably didn't get above the wind gusts. I hate small planes I have to fly from my small airport to a bigger airport and it sucks its 40 minutes of bouncing around in a wind tunnel. I take valium. Have fun what's your new job? It is kinda new isn't it?

Missing a connecting flight on purpose
Missing a connecting flight on purpose?
Here is the deal, my gf is taking the bus from Vancouver B.C. to Seattle, flying from Seattle to Milwaukee. I am picking her up in Milwaukee as flying into Chicago is much more expensive. However the flight has a layover in Chicago. Can she simply tell the check in agent that she is going to miss her Connection and route her bags to Chicago?? Will this be ok?? Has anybody ever done this?? thanks

Did she pay for the flight all the way to Chicago? They wont fly the bags for free.
2 :
Why would the airlines do that? First of all if they can charge more and get you to pay more to fly into Chicago, they will because the airlines need the money. Second, when your luggage tag will match the destination city on your boarding pass.
3 :
Technically it's a no-no. First off, if it's a round trip, SEA-ORD-MKE-ORD-SEA, if she misses the ORD-MKE flight, the remaining flights will automatically get canceled, and she won't be able to get back to SEA. Secondly, when she bought the ticket SEA-MKE, all the airline is obligated to do is carry her to Milwaukee. In other words, if it's United airlines, they could decide to cancel her first flight, and send her Seattle-Denver-Milwaukee instead. Or American Airlines could send her via Dallas instead of Chicago. Etc. But...if it's a one-way ticket, there's a chance it *might* work. I have done it - I had a ticket CDG-ZRH-BOM-ZRH-CDG, and when checking in for the return part of the trip (BOM-ZRH-CDG) I asked if I could just take the BOM-ZRH leg. The woman at the checkin desk was very nice, and just tagged my checked luggage to ZRH. However, if it's a one-way ticket and she does do this, technically the airlines reserve the right to come after her for the difference in cost. This has traditionally been something they do only rarely, and only to repeat offenders. But I've heard they're starting to crack down a bit.

No - they will not route her bags to Chicago - it will be checked all the way to her final destination
5 :
Bags are not allowed to fly unaccompanied and they will have to yank them off the plane in Chicago. And of course, if she misses her connection, no one will force her to go to Milwaukee. But tha airline may ground ship her bags to Milwaukee. Basically, this can only really work if she has no checked bags. Also note that if you miss part of a flight they may cancel the return flight.

too bad you didnt plan ealier most flights now are in the 350 range and southwest doesnt starrt llight to mke till Noveember so using southwest is out unless you want to travel to Chicago but even that runs up to 560.00 round trip
3 :
You have left it too late to get such a cheap deal. You can keep looking but it is likely that the price will just keep increasing.
