What they're saying:
"Southwest’s daily nonstop service to both San Diego and Austin connect Milwaukee with two of the best cities to visit in the U.S., and the Miami flights are timed for cruises, many of which start and end on Saturdays," Airport Director Brian Dranzik said. "By using these new flights, we can show our largest carrier that we support flight additions from MKE, which can make it easier for airlines to add more flights in the future."
Southwest now offers nonstop flights to 19 destinations from Milwaukee.
