Paying for baggage on Midwest..

[dudspizza]

Do you pay at the airport for baggage or will Midwest offer the option online when I check in?

Sounds of crickets chirping?

I only recall two readers who seem to fly Midwest and I think that one of them muttered something about the lack of cookies and jumped ship.

Unlike the major carriers there is no wiki or 'guide to flying' over there. (And it seems that they too have posters upset about cookies?)

But at least you would get more traffic, and it appears that they have one or two experts/insiders who post.

I am probably not going to be too much help, but I know when we flew Midwest in September we just paid for the baggage at the airport. It was actually really easy. The only word of caution was we flew out of MKE and when you get there you pay for it via kiosk and they do not accept cash only debit/credit card. So be prepared. I did check in online and do not recall the option of paying for luggage at that time, but I could very well be wrong also. I hope this helps a little.

I just flew Midwest and we just did carry-ons. AND we got our cookies (the bake them fresh onboard). On the way back Midwest checked our bags for free. The flight was quite full and they checked our carry-on sized rollerboards for free because there was not enough room for everyone's luggage on board. We were lmited to only 35lbs.

BUT ... I don't know about regular checked bags. I would call Midwest. They will know if there is a discount for adding your bags when you check into your flight.
