Alaska Airlines Now Boarding to Seattle!

Bag Claim Renovation Completion

Our new baggage claim building is now open to the traveling public! The newly-renovated space includes five new carousels and creates a more inviting, spacious environment for travelers as they arrive in Milwaukee.

The new green roof is now visible from both parking garage skywalks, and a new skylight spans the entire length of the building.  Look for the new glass canopy extending over the vehicle roadway to protect travelers during rainy weather.

The Baggage Claim roadway will remain closed to all vehicles except buses and shuttles until road work wraps up in late July. In the meantime, the Airport is offering one hour of free Hourly-section parking to help drivers meet passengers while avoiding delays on the shared Ticketing/Baggage Claim roadway.

Slalom Artwork Floats Above Travelers

Be sure to check out the new public art display during your next visit to our new Baggage Claim.  “Slalom” incorporates a gently undulating ribbon of kinetic elements that floats overhead and weaves its way throughout the building’s support columns.  The result is an ever-changing sequence of varied and unpredictable effects.  

Real-time Bus Arrivals Display

Mitchell Airport and the Milwaukee County Transit System have teamed up to provide live bus arrival times to passengers.  Located near Carousel 1, the display shows bus real-time bus arrival information and a live map.  Mitchell Airport is served by the GreenLine and Route 80.  Both routes can take passengers to downtown Milwaukee and beyond.
