United Airlines has added nearly 200 extra flights for the two big political conventions this summer.

United will boost capacity to Milwaukee, for the Republican National Convention in July, by more than 75%.

It represents a 40% increase in flying between Chicago O’Hare and Washington Reagan.

In total, the airline will add 72 flights to and from Milwaukee in July and 118 flights to and from Chicago in August.

“These conventions are steeped in tradition and have now evolved to become a weeklong celebration of our political process,” said Patrick Quayle, United’s SVP of Global Network Planning and Alliances.

“We’re proud to give people even more options to visit two great cities.”

Tickets are on sale now on the United app and United.com.
