MKE is quick 1.5 hours from ORD. Did this run last year through IAH and the drive up was the easy part since I did a same day turn.

I don't have a car so I'd have to rent one and pay for parking at the airport.

Take the train. There is an MKE train station across from the long-term parking lot.

Looks like train will be about $50 roundtrip. I can rent a car for $30 per day. Any idea how much overnight parking would be at MKE?

This fare would be perfect to position oneself for the $200 EY error fare Los Angeles - Armenia on Christmas Day. Should have bought it. Sigh!

The buses to MKE pick up around every 5 minutes from the Amtrak station. Usually then another 5 minutes to terminal.
Darn still nobody has matched this fare lol.

You can also bus it from ORD to MKE, it is about 25 one way. Leaves from Shuttle center ORD and has a Stop in Racine and Kenosha I think. Then final drops at MKE, runs pretty frequent also.
