KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from Madison to Austin

  • In Madison, you will board your flight to Austin at Dane County Regional Airport (MSN). MSN is the primary airport serving Madison, located about 6 miles northeast of the city center. In Austin, you will deplane at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS). AUS is the primary aviation gateway to Austin and is located approximately 5 miles southeast of downtown Austin. It is a focus city for Allegiant Air and Southwest Airlines.
  • On your flight day, try arriving at MSN at least 2 hours before the scheduled departure time. This way, you'll have enough time to clear all TSA security checkpoints before your flight. Arriving this early is also advantageous because you may have more time to explore some of the airport's top attractions.
  • If you still have time to spare before your flight, visit the famed MSN's Art Court and check out some of the local art. This art court, located in the main terminal just after security, features some of the best works by local artists.
  • Suppose you need a nice place to relax upon landing at AUS, and you flew with either American Airlines or United Airlines, gain access to either of their private lounges. The American Airlines Admirals Club is located opposite Gate 22 and can be accessed by paying at the door with a valid American Airlines ticket. The United Club, on the other hand, is located on the mezzanine level near Gate 22, and access is obtained by paying at the door with proof of a United Airlines ticket.
  • In case you still have more time before departing AUS, head to the airport's family viewing area and watch how planes land and take off from the tarmac. This airport, located east of the airport's entrance adjacent to the runway, features paved parking and picnic tables.

Long story short, it was one of the better flight experiences I've had in some time when compared with other airlines.

Smaller plane for a longer flight than my first one. Doesn’t make sense.

Another late night flight and MORE men belligerently drinking and yelling. I had to move from first to economy because they were so obnoxious and disruptive. Crazy to go from a cozy chair to cardboard when you were supposed to be in first. Delta allows was too much drinking which leads to belligerent behavior.

Delta flights recently are always delayed AND at jfk tney get the gates further away (need To walk 20’ to get to them/all the way at the end of the terminal). Not sure whats happening but price doesnt match experience!

Only freetext wifi was available in flight; browsing WiFi required payment. Since the seats had no in flight entertainment, Delta should revisit this policy on this longer flight.

Very late arrival at PWM. Late jet getting to ATL. Equipment problem with aircraft - could not get enough water onto plane., Another delay getting FAA approval for flight with bottled H2O. Not the crew’s problem.

The flight was scheduled for 2:30 PM. Early in the morning we got a text message saying the flight was delayed and rescheduled for 3:00 PM. We got to the airport with that in mind. Then we got a message during check-in at the flight was rescheduled again for 2:30 PM. We almost missed our flight. In fact, our bags Were told that they would not make it. At the end, everything worked out. But it is very stressful.

They were an hour late and they didn’t have my wheelchair for me

Food service was bare-bone. Better bot to have any at all rather than hand out premade coffees and cookies to random few passengers.

due to delay, we were downgraded in seating, so it was cramped

Wonderful flight! The crew was good, check-in was good and orderly and the flight was uneventful and good.

The international portion was good. Food and beverage options were good. The sustainable wooden eatery was less than desirable. Your Star Alliance partner ANA provided real silverware. I'm 6'3" & 198 lbs and felt cramped in the exit row. How can that be? Flight attendant all had a pleasant disposition which is always good.

Boarded from a very small gate at LAX. Staff at gate had us line up, then waited 25 minutes to board without a word of explanation. Plane arrived on time then waited 20 minutes for a plane to vacate our gate. Majority of bags arrived after 15 minutes but it took an hour for a small number of remaining bags to be off-loaded despite my “priority” bag tag.

The boarding process on the departure from LA was rather slow even though I was in Group 1. For first class, I was not expecting to have to pay for Wi-fi but I did and then the wi-fi was spotty. The entree was surprisingly good and so that was a pleasant surprise. However, once I got to Houston, it was terrible. Unfortunately there was bad weather but the constant gate changes for my connecting flight was difficult to manage due to having to navigate back and forth between different terminals.

This planes staff was top tier. Everything went great and had a great flight home.

The pilot had to extend the flight time from san antonio to Houston to burn off fuel. This caused a lot of unnecessary stress since we had a tight connection to Aruba. And with no other flights going to Aruba we were worried about spending a night in Houston. We had to to run to our connection because of the flight crews mistake. Not happy.

Awful. I got stuck next to a person carrying a dog and behind someone with a dog. People need to board these dogs downstairs. The cabin is crowded enough with your pets

All good except paid for wifi that did not work

Flight cancelled due to fog. No other flights available for 36 hours. Directed by United to book passage on another carrier, and submit receipts for reimbursement. Did that. United now states they will not reimburse. Currently out 2 grand.

It would have helped if I knew it would be air Canada jazz/rouge. The flight was ok but the planes are older and smaller with no entertainment. Fitting the carry one every one had was tricky and made the process longer. Overall it was ok but I actually booked a company other than air Canada and got them which was disappointing.I prefer American or overseas airlines over Canadian because the experience is usually better

Leave on time. We waited on the plane for hour hours and it was hot and smelly

It was the most un-special flight experience in my life.

Massimo, flight attendant was very authentic, attentive - wonderful. Food/wrap was just okay.

2 hour delay due to equipment failure. No updates via the app and airport screens (which continued to show a departure time in the past). AA eventually switched planes and the new plane was not catered or cleaned correctly.

The plane was very warm and the crew turned on the lights for the entire snack service.

It is okay. Flight was on time to start and early to land

The counter/baggage counter was busy and so many people missed flights. We got stuck sitting on the plane over 2 hours at the gate while they were doing an inspection is wrong. Many of us missed our connecting flights because of it.

The gate crew did try to help, however they lacked the information as to whether the flight will operate or not. Being delayed 6 hours and in a limbo on whether the flight will operate or not is not fun. The airline having staffing issues is not encouraging at all.

Gossipy flight attendants talked the whole flight about bar hopping and dating.

Best price with timings that suited us. The flight was punctual.
