Checkpoints and tips
MKE has one security checkpoint at the entrance to each concourse, on the upper level. Both have TSA PreCheck lanes. Eligible adult U.S. citizens can enroll in PreCheck without an appointment at the CLEAR kiosks in the main terminal, seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., according to a 2024 airport announcement.
- Arrive 2 hours before a domestic flight and 3 hours before an international flight, as recommended by one guide.
- A third-party guide says that if you have a boarding pass and no checked bags, 75 minutes before departure is usually enough. Allow more time during busy periods.
- Connecting between Concourse C and Concourse D means clearing security again, so plan for that if your airlines use different concourses.
