Day trip to Milwaukee - public transportation

Day trip to Milwaukee - public transportation?
I'm planning a trip to Chicago. On the last day, I hope to take a daytrip to Milwaukee and catch a Brewers game to see Miller Park (via Amtrak). Flying home from Milwaukee is much more expensive than Chicago. Unfortunately there is a time issue. Game time is 1:05 and the last flight out of Chicago is 7:40 unless I take a more expensive flight. The 3PM train gets to Union Station at 4:30 and the 5:45 train gets me there at 7:15. The latter gives me very little time to get to the airport. How much time do I realistically need to go from Union Station to Midway to catch a flight? According to google, it's about a 10 minute drive from Miller Park to Amtrak but how is the public transportation? Is there a bus or train I can take or will I need a cab? If there is a bus, will they be operating during the game or only before and after? My other options are pay more money to get a later flight out of Chicago or a lot more to fly out of Milwaukee. Any advice is welcome! Thankds for the reply. I know how long a game lasts but I wouldn't mind leaving early as the game isn't exactly a great matchup (Brewers vs Nats). The problem is that I don't know if whatever public transportation that serves Miller Park is available in the middle of the game which could mean I can't take the earlier train. Plus the risk of going standby at night is the possibility of having to wait until the next day for a flight which means paying for a room at a hotel and also taking an extra day off. It's an extra $150 to book a later flight and maybe double that to fly out of Milwaukee.

Best info I can find says that the adverage 9 inning baseball game last 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Your game would be over around 4:05 - 4:35p. If you want to try to see the whole game then the 5:45 train is your only choice. My best advice is to take a later flight out of Chicago. Ask about flying stand-by and you might save a little money at the cost of not knowing 100% what fight you will be on til the last min.

Unfortunately, you will not make it to Midway if your train gets in at 7:15. With no traffic a cab ride is about 20 minutes to Midway, but Union Station is very large so it will take you time just to get out and get a cab. If you are going to take the 3pm train you can definitely take public transportation to Midway, but you will miss a lot of the baseball game. To take the el to Midway, walk east to the Quincy/Wells stop for the Orange Line. It only goes in one direction and ends at Midway. The ride is about 35 min, and trains come about every 10 min.

Take Amtrak. There is a shuttle bus that takes people from the train station in Milwaukee to the ballpark and back. Amtrak will cost you about $42 round trip. The shuttle bus is free. Assuming this is an average game, it will last about two-three hours or so, meaning it will be over at 3:00 and some change. But there is a train that leaves Milwaukee at 3:00. You may have to leave before the game is over and take a cab back to the train station (not sure if the shuttle buses start running again until the game is over). You've done your homework and found out it's about a 10 minute ride from the ballpark to the train station, so take that into consideration (also add in some traffic time in case you stay for the whole game and leave with everyone else). The train gets into Chicago at 4:29, plenty of time to take a cab or even an el train to Midway for a 7:40 p.m. flight.

Priceline flight question

Priceline flight question?
I was curious how much it would cost to fly home for christmas instead of driving. So i went on priceline, and put in oklahoma city, to Milwaukee, and the cheapest price was $299 this was with a connect flight in Chicago, so i figured hey, i could have someone pick me up in Chicago, no problem. So i went back and put in oklahoma city, to chicago, but the cheapest flight on this one is $334. Why is this?

This kind of pricing happens all the time. Any flight that departs from and arrives at major cities like Chicago is always more expensive than if you only connect through Chicago. One of the reasons is because the demand for seats is higher in Chicago than Oklahoma City and Milwaukee.

guess going to work for an airline is out
2 :
yes you can NOT change the name on the airline ticket that is true,, and there is nothing you can do thats per homeland security and TSA rules,... now you asked for some promo codes you can try the following website http://www.retailmenot.com/ this website has promo codes for everything you would just need to type in the airline you want to see if they have any
3 :
Hey, no you cannot change the name on the ticket as stated above, however when my grandmother was sick and unable to use her tickets we were able to get hers and my grandfathers tickets refunded, and then using that money we were able to buy new tickets and fly to her instead. However i think we paid the insurance when we brought the ticket, which was about $9, i dont know if you can get refunds unless you get the insurance, though it might be a call to the airline and explain you grandmother is sick and you need a refund or to put the tickets on hold until she is better, might be worth a try. chao

Midwest is already the cheapest flights. Promo codes won't help you. All they will do is get you the current price. The promo codes are based on the full fare price. The prices you see are already with a promo code of some sort.

I hate when that happens....did you try yawning? Or eating something?
2 :
For me, this is happened. It may be an ear infection from fluid that built up in your ear. Do you have a cold? Because that usually happens when the sinus is full and fluid seeps out. However, I hold my nose, swallow, and blow. It helped me. But, if you have a cold, then be sure to get rest, and give it 5 days to 2 weeks to leave.
3 :
Try: chewing a lot of gum, driving up and down from high to low altitude (if plausible in your area), put your head under water & try the hold your nose and blow technique. And, also, try buying an ear wax removal kit. It could be that the flight/altitude dislodged some ear wax and it is what is blocking your ear canal. If you don't want to try that, you can go to your doctor, who can check it out and perform the ear wax wash removal, if necessary. Good Luck! Have had this happen, myself - NO Fun!! & Hope this helps!
4 :
Hmm... Ive had the exact same problem. Usually I hold my nose and breath out. you can also try chewing gum or swallowing perhaps even yawning
5 :
When there's pressure in my ears i yawn or chew gum especially during assending and decending on a plane. Try and chew some gum. If that doesn't work, you need to go see a doctor. Something could be wrong.

It depends on where you are flying to. If you are flying outside of the US then chances are you will not be allowed to board the plane. These regulations are a part of the WHTI enacted by the US government which requires a valid passport for air travel outside of and into the US. Passports are not required for travel within the US. If you are flying within the US then you should not have any trouble as long as you have proper photo ID. The airline may accept an expired driver's license along with other ID if you have no other photo ID available. I would contact the airline and check with them as to what ID they require or will accept.

If you're flying nonstop, it's a 2 and a half hour flight. If it's a one stop flight, it'll be a little over 5 hours total (you'll have to fly from Milwaukee to another airport, then from that airport to Dallas).

A direct flight is approx. 2 Hrs 26 Min. you can get flight times for airports all over the world at http://www.jets.com/
