Midwest's mainline and regional service accounted for 36.2% of regularly scheduled passenger traffic at Milwaukee in October, the latest month for which data is available.

Being human (and not just a blogging robot), even an “expert” is also bound to make mistakes. After the jump, I share three recent travel planning misadventures and the lessons learned from each. Share your own budget travel blunders in the comments. MISTAKE #1: Missing the early ticketing for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics I’ve set attending an Olympic games as a travel goal and decided to shoot for thBereavement and compassion airfares: Firsthand experience I often get asked about bereavement fares or other last-minute emergency travel discounts. My answers had previously been entirely academic, but this past week, I unfortunately had to learn about bereavement and compassionate airfares for myself. It’s obviously a trip that I didn’t want to take: My grandmother passed away late last week, just weeks after celebrating her 99th birthday. I flew to her home — in Germany — and was fortunate enough to see her, talk with her, and bid farewell before Delta, JetBlue add international, Caribbean flights By Joe Brancatelli Delta Keeps Expanding Its Overseas Presence: Since its 2005 bankruptcy, Delta Air Lines has slashed its domestic network and remade itself as an international carrier. And the new routes keep coming. Next June, it plans to launch nonstop flights to Paris from two new cities: Raleigh and Pittsburgh. The five weekly Raleigh flights start on June 2; the five weekly Pittsburgh flights begin the next day. Also next June, Delta will launch a new route to Africa: Atlanta-Cape VerdHumpty Dumpty Double Speak "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master—that's all."

BA also had the advantage of Payback… You Know What It Is. There is a very good column from Joe Brancatelli on Portfolio.com today. As a side note, I think every column by Joe is good. He has a great feel for the business travel environment and what’s going on out there. In the nutshell, he says that the airlines and hotel industry have taken advantage of (yea, punished) the business traveler for so long that, like a battered spouse who’s had enough, they’ve just walked away.

I think I like this move, at least it seems like it’s worth a try, but I do find myself wondering if the planes will actually make it that far. The flights will operate five days a week beginning June 2/3 with 757s.

Easter Island is for those who like wild, unspoiled places with lots to see and do. It’s not suitable for anyone looking for beaches, shopping, or nightlife. Independent travel is possible yearround, via Chile or French Polynesia. What makes Easter Island such a great destination? Easter Island’s concentration and variety of archaeological sites is unparalled anywhere in the Pacific. Around 1,000 of the famous statues or “living facesWelcome Northwest! With the Northwest Airlines merger official this week, we add an impressive airline experience to Delta’s heritage.
