It’s about to get much easier — and cheaper — to head to the South from Milwaukee.
The Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport announced that low fare carrier Spirit Airlines is adding seasonal nonstop flights from Milwaukee to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport this summer. The flights will begin July 11 and will fly on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, a press release announcing the new route said.
Fares start at $49 each way, the release said.
“Today’s announcement from Spirit provides another option for Milwaukee travelers to visit Texas and enjoy everything the Lone Star state has to offer,” said Brian Dranzik, the Milwaukee airport’s director. “These new flights are also a great way for Texans to leave the summer heat and humidity behind, bask in Wisconsin’s pleasant weather, and enjoy our world-famous lakefront, summer festivals, and outdoor activities.”
According to the release, flights to Dallas Fort Worth will depart at 10 a.m. and arrive at 12:30 a.m. The flight home will require an early morning. Flights back to Milwaukee will depart Dallas at 6:40 a.m. and arrive at 9:05 a.m.
The flights will be on Airbus A320 aircraft and have eight seats with larger legroom, which Spirit calls Big Front Seats, and 174 standard seats.
The Milwaukee-Dallas flights are the fourth nonstop routes that Spirit offers through Milwaukee. Other routes include Las Vegas, Orlando and Tampa.
Booking for the flights is available through Spirit’s website or its mobile app.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
