Readers of Conde Nast Traveler have ranked Milwaukee's Mitchell International Airport as best in the nation in the categories of ease of connections, safety/security and customs/baggage.

Mitchell had the most first-place rankings in individual categories and finished fifth overall among U.S. airports. The annual travel awards appear in the magazine's October issue.

Mitchell has spent $50 million in recent years on expansion and renovation of all three concourses. In 2005, 7.3 million passengers used the airport, where 12 airlines offer non-stop and direct flights to more than 90 cities in the U.S. Mitchell is the 50th largest airport in the country and the 34th largest in terms of destinations served.
