AKICILJ: travel to Wiscon

Has anyone here flown via Milwaukee (the actual flight is New York City to Madison, and I'll be flying out of either EWR or LGA, and preferably back through LGA)? I am mostly wondering what that airport is like, and looking for recent experiences of flying on Midwest. Also, is there still reasonably regular bus service from Milwaukee to Madison?

The latter is relevant because connecting flights are sometimes cancelled (weather, hardware, acts of Ghu); when that happened at O'Hare I took a three-hour bus trip to get to Madison, and when it happened in Detroit I had to wait and get rebooked several hours later.

(This would be for, probably, May 21 to Madison, May 25 return, in case that's relevant.)

I've flown into Milwaukee and taken the Badger Bus to Madison. It was a very good bus, took about an hour, and wasn't too expensive. The airport was fine - I don't remember it well but that's probably a good sign!

The Milwaukee airport's rather like the Seattle one, only not quite as large. And it has (or at least had when I last passed through) a sizable used bookstore.
