Airfare to Ironman Wisconsin for those of you who can make it.

Brendan's Ironman Wisconsin is only 7 weeks away. Here's what the Ironman is and how it started. (Note that the bike portion of the race alone was a two-day event originally.)

I know a few of you want to come out and support him in this totally crazy endeavor, I wanted to make you aware of one airline option that is relatively unknown outside of...well...the midwest.

Midwest Airlines, formerly Midwest Express, which I believe originally started as the private air fleet for Kimberly Clark...has some good deals to Madison. I found $216 RT from Boston and $270 RT from LAX and San Francisco.

The Ironman is September 10th, which is a Sunday, and if you want to see Brendan finish, you'll probably have to stay until Monday the 11th. But, if you are interested...now's the time to check it out.

Additionally, when I flew with them from Boston back in the day, it's like flying first class...and they did bake cookies in-flight that were heavenly. Here's their Web site: http://www.midwestairlines.com/MAWeb/aboutUs/aboutLanding.aspx
