Naturally your location will influence your choice but for us it's about 40 minutes closer to Chicago than Minneapolis, for $100 (that I can then spend on beer) 40 minutes in the car is worth it.
I looked at both options even though we are 90 minutes from MSP and 5 hours from ohare. We paid $560 from MSP about 3 months ago, and the same flight is now $688. I don't remember exactly what it was from ORD, but it wasn't enough to drive all that way, even though I have relatives close to the airport. Milwaukee is almost always more expensive just because they don't have as many flights. Sconnies unite! For Red Stripes, subs and travels to paradise!
