Mainline service returns to MKE
I have not seen this posted elsewhere, but United is finally putting mainline aircraft back in the Milwaukee (MKE) market ^^^
Starting 9/7/16, MKE-DEN will be converted from 4x daily CRJ to 2x daily A319. Glad to actually see this happen as this route was torture on the CRJ-200. Also, beginning 10/18/16 the early afternoon ORD-MKE flight will be up-gauged to a 737-700. I think it has been 15 years since United last operated mainline planes in MKE. |

You have also cut your travel options in half.

My personal pretty-please request would be a SFO-MKE nonstop. Right now I'm forced to take WN.

Great news. I am pretty sure they used a 752 MKE-ORD for a spell.
Hopefully they can support mainline to all domestic hubs (besides Guam) |

Is this UA's shortest mainline route?

Glad to hear about the up-gauge. True, that it does cut options in half. But I usually take this flight once or twice a year and it sure is brutal.
(Though, the up-gauge is one month after I'm booked on my next DEN-MKE trip :p) |

Isn't it even the shortest route United flies (both mainline and regional jets)?
*But I believe GUM-ROP is operated on a turboprop, so you may escape on a technicality. :cool: |
Back to The Good Land...

GUM-ROP (Guam - Rota) is shorter at 56 miles (compared to 67 for ORD-MKE) according to Great Circle mapper.
