| - This is a great regional hub for Northern Midwest connections, or if you're coming directly into Madison and don't want to drive from Milwaukee or Chicago. Usually around an hour from all the major International hubs in the area (MSP, MKE, DTW, ORD), but no direct flights to IND. Damn.
The staff are very friendly and the layout is very simple (you can run to any terminal in less than 5 min from security). I will say though, security can get crowded sometimes, it's a single-line checkpoint with two carry-on/body scanners.
The gate seats are pretty comfy, plenty of outlets all around, decent wifi, and, for the size of the airport, some great eatery options (Great Dane Pub, oh yeah!). There are also some awesome leather lounge chairs around the terminal, snag one if they're available.
I flew in here on business recently and my departure flight ended up getting so delayed (because of snow, imagine that), that I decided to reschedule my flight for the next day. There were plenty of hotels with in a 10 min drive of the airport and many of them have complimentary shuttles that will pick you up. I found this route to be much easier than hailing/calling for a cab.
I look forward to the next time I fly into Madison, at least during the summer months. Go Badgers!
