Milwaukee Airport, or General Mitchell International Airport, is a USA international airport located about 5 miles or 8 kilometres south of the central business district of Milwaukee, a city in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, United States. On top of its status of being the primary airport for Milwaukee, it somewhat functions as “Chicago's third airport” and is also used by travellers throughout Wisconsin and Northern Illinois.

Milwaukee Airport is situated close to a wide selection of hotels most of which can be accessed by short (0.5 mile) drive. The accommodations at the airport are provided by the on-site hotel renovated in 2010, while those in the surrounding area range from reasonable to relatively luxurious, as you would expect from a popular transit hub. Since Milwaukee itself has much to offer to tourists, staying in one of the hotels will provide you with quite a few opportunities for sightseeing. Taxi operators will certainly be on hand to take you anywhere from the airport itself, but renting your own car has its own advantages if you are planning to check the entire wider area out or do things at your absolute leisure.

Landing in Milwaukee Airport sets you up with the perfect opportunity to enjoy the attractions of Milwaukee. If you are a first time visitor to the lovely City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, prepare to prolong your stay! The airport itself is a tourist site, housing the Mitchell Flight Gallery, dedicated to the father of American aviation, an on-site museum and the alleged finest used book store on any airport in the world. The city is not called The City of Festivals without a good reason, and in case you miss one, you’re quite likely to catch at least one regular event such as the famous Jazz in the Park! In every season, the many museums and galleries of Milwaukee are always at the tourists’ disposal, and if you’re a sailing enthusiast – Lake Michigan’s the place for you!

Access to and from Milwaukee Airport is available by car, bus, train and car hire or taxi. General Mitchell International Airport is easily accessed from I-94 via Exit 318 (Hwy 119), whichever of the multiple directions you might be going to or coming from. General Mitchell International Airport has a parking garage, with hourly and daily sections, and a surface parking lot within walking distance of the terminal. Local taxi operators have their own taxi pickup station outside the Baggage Claim 3, and plenty of local car hire companies can be reached from the main building.

Milwaukee Airport itself provides much in the way of services – and much more in the way of culture and entertainment than you’d expect! Many establishments offering dining and drink services are there for your perusal, as are children care centres and all other amenities you’d find in a mall. The retail services at Milwaukee Airport are generally top notch and the airport is well connected to the tourist industry within the town. When you’re done with it, car hire or grab a cab, and have a lot of fun!
