Below is the text of an airport news release detailing this year's Christmas/New Year's holiday passenger traffic at MKE. Note the chart at the bottom detailing the busiest days. If you're flying out of MKE over the holidays, remember that the security lines at MKE can be long on busiest of days, especially in the morning hours. I'm not looking forward to the fact that I'm flying on YX the morning of the busiest day (12/23). (I'll have to actually get there more than an hour early, rather than waiting until the last minute!)
Thanks for sharing this. I fly out on YX early A.M. on Dec 24 and am looking forward to long security lines at the D concourse, especially with the addition of WN on D.
YX CSRs are advising airport arrival a minimum of two hours before scheduled departure time.
Happy holidays and safe travel to all.
