I'm looking at Orbitz right now to try and flind a flight from PHL to MKE (from Philly June 13th AM to Milwaukee and back to Philly on the 14th PM). I don't trust Orbitz. I've been screwed bad by them before. They are saying that the difference in time from a stop over in Cincinnati to MKE is a 16 min. flight and from Chicago to MKE is a 45 min. flight. CVG to MKE is 275 nm and ORD to MKE is 58 nm! What gives?! 275 nm is 16 mins. and 58 nm in 45 mins.?!!
 
Most CVG-MKE flights are blocked at about 1:20.
 
Depart: 2:20pm Cincinnati, OH (CVG)
Arrive: 2:39pm Milwaukee, WI (MKE)
Economy
1hr 19min

Silly me! It's the freakin time zones right? Orbitz has me super paranoid. I had to sleep over night at ORD because of them once.

I went to the individual airlines website and the prices breakdown to be pretty much the same. I was thinking about booking this flight:
Jun 13 Delta Air Lines 6948
operated by PINNACLE DBA NW AIRLINK FOR NORTHWEST -- NW 5752
Depart: 11:40am Philadelphia, PA (PHL)
Arrive: 1:37pm Memphis, TN (MEM)

Delta Air Lines 6672
operated by Northwest Airlines -- NW 0950
Depart: 2:25pm Memphis, TN (MEM)
Arrive: 4:06pm Milwaukee, WI (MKE)
I didn't know Pinnacle and Delta worked together. That's weird. Maybe I should just stick with the Comair flight to show some support. But then I'll face a 2 hour 21 minute layover instead of the 48 min one I get going to Memphis with Pinnacle. Well, if it affects my karma then......
Delta Air Lines 5124
operated by Comair, Inc
Depart: 10:05am Philadelphia, PA (PHL)
Arrive: 11:59am Cincinnati, OH (CVG)

Change planes. Time between flights: 2hr 21min

Delta Air Lines 5020
operated by Comair, Inc
Depart: 2:20pm Cincinnati, OH (CVG)
Arrive: 2:39pm Milwaukee, WI (MKE)
