Flight

Dane County Airport & Regional Buses

The easiest airport to fly to is Dane County Regional Airport (MSN), just 15 min outside of downtown Madison. We recommend booking flights well in advance as there's limited flights each day. There are rental cars at the Madison airport. Milwaukee Mitchell (MKE) and Chicago O'Hare (ORD) airports are also an option if you don't mind driving a bit farther. The Van Galder bus has daily trips from Chicago O'Hare to downtown Madison: https://www.coachusa.com/airport-transportation/van-galder The Badger Bus has daily trips from Milwaukee Mitchell airport to downtown Madison: https://badgerbus.com/schedule
