Midwest Frequent flyer question

[yooperfan]

I called to find out on what date I could make ressies with my Frequent flyer miles and they gave me a date that was from the return flight time. When I used American Airlines they let us reserve the outbound flight at the earliest date and held the return flight for us until it was available. Doesn't Midwest have this policy?

I use Midwest miles often and I am not quite sure of what you mean???

Go to Midwest express on line and find the miles area. You should be able to see what is available. Are you planning so far out - that it is not posted yet?

Yes. The 330 days comes up the beginning of March for us. The reason we set it up so far in advance is we have to use Midwest Express for the first part of our flight and the planes are very small, not even a flight attendant. They don't alot very many seat for frequent flyers as I believe it is by percentage of seats. If we don't get them right away, we don't get them at all. Thanks for the response. American Airlines allowed us to hold our return seats until the 330 days from them, I think Midwest makes you wait until 330 from the return flight dates.

No flight attendant? I thought that was legally required. What if one of the passengers has a problem?

We fly out of Appleton and I know what you mean about those flights that go into Milwaukee from the various county airports. I have been fortunate so far in getting my mile seats- but I usually use there miles and dollars awards.

I have been on flights where the co pilot or persur or what ever you want to call him makes certain every one is buckled in etc. Usually these flights only have one row of seats on each side and guessing 24-30 passengers.
