New flights from Milwaukee to NYC

Good news for those of you who drive to Milwaukee to fly east. AirTran is starting a route to New York’s LaGuardia airport in May. With three new daily flights from a discount carrier, that could drive prices down.
Midwest Airlines has flights from Milwaukee to LaGuardia starting at $178 round-trip plus tax and fees and flights from Milwaukee to Newark, N.J., starting at $228 round-trip plus tax and fees. Continental Airlines has flights from Milwaukee to Newark starting at $208 round-trip plus tax and fees, starting in February.
AirTran’s route starts May 6. For the first month, tickets start as low as $148 round-trip plus tax and fees. After that, they increase to at least $174 round-trip plus tax and fees.
As a New York native, I’ll be watching this battle closely and looking to make a trip home soon.
