Would this flight be possible?
Theres only 30ish minutes to switch flights in MKE, but the airline is still the same, so i was wondering if this flight will be possible..this is my first time flying so I need all the help I can get. Depart from Baltimore, MD (BWI) @ 7:04am on Airtran Airways 915 Arrive in Milwaukee, WI (MKE) @ 8:03am Change planes. Time between flights: 0hr 34min Depart from Milwaukee, WI (MKE) @ 8:37am Airtran airways 610 Arrive in San Francisco, CA (SFO) @ 11:22am

Extremely UNlikely. If the departing flight is delayed in any way, even a few minutes waiting on the taxi way to get to the head of the line for takeoff, you could so easily miss the connection. You might have to wait for 5 or 10 minutes after you arrive in Milwaukee for a gate to open. Anything at all like that could make you late. Remember that you are supposed to be boarded BEFORE the time listed for departure. The airline would like be able to have the doors closed and be pulling away from the gate at that time. I <<seriously>> recommend that you find something with at least a 1 hour connecting time.

You should be ok. If both planes are with the same airline, the gates are usually in the same terminal. MKE isn't that big of an airport. The only issue that I can foresee is in the size of the aircraft. Sometimes big planes use different terminals from small planes. The airline may be able to help with specific details if you call them. Additionally, if you happen to get a customer service rep in India or somewhere like that, you can ask them to transfer you to a rep in the U.S. and they legally are required to do that. I hope this helps. p.s. Flights often start boarding 30 mins. prior to departure.
