GREAT for service animals though!

Service animals still fly inside the passenger cabin and the flight attendants are awesome ... they have actually apologized to me that more animals are not allowed on board.
The best for pet travel!

First, Midwest has a program that earns your pet a free round trip for every three paid round trips. Second, they have one of the best (it not the best) pet safety records with the FAA. Third, Midwest pays attention to the little things, like letting you know your pet is safely on board before take off. They attach a tag to the kennel, and when the kennel is loaded, they tear off half of the tag and bring it to you in the cabin. It really puts my mind at ease knowing they're definitely on the plane and not being left behind! My two dogs always come off the plane perfectly contented! Thanks, Midwest!

Executive status in 2009; never again in 2010!!

After being a loyal customer to Midwest Airlines, I will never fly with them again! I had booked my flights over the holidays and specifically booked my dog to travel in cabin as he has on numerous occasions. The travel to my destination was without problems, but on my return trip, I was told that my dog could not fly with me in cabin after checking into my flight and initiating the boarding process. I have never felt so uncomfortable traveling on any airline. I never received any notification of their pet in cabin policy change despite regularly flying with my dog on Midwest airlines. To make matters worse, I have accumulated enough trips for a free round trip for my dog, but will not be able to use it thanks to their discontinuation of the program. I was Executive status in 2009, but will never fly them again starting in 2010!
Midwest is NO longer PET FRIENDLY

I booked my flight out to LAX for travel in December 2009 and it never dawned on me that Midwest would no longer be pet friendly. I didn't realize the in-cabin pet program had been canceled and all pets are now only to be flown below cabin. This new policy has made me look for alternative airlines and cancelled my travel with Midwest. I will no longer be using Midwest for regular flights since it is important for me to have my dog travel with me in the cabin. Midwest is no longer pet friendly and I would advise looking for alternative travel arrangements.
New Policy is no longer pet friendly

I had reserved a space for my dog IN-CABIN of the Christmas holiday 2009 back in July. I didn't realize the in-cabin pet program had been canceled and all pets are now only to be flow below cabin. This new policy saddens me deeply because my family resides in Milwaukee and I have always flown Midwest to and from DC (several times a year) because it is a direct flight, and up until now I was able to bring my dog. I will no longer be using Midwest for regular flights; I will have to find another airline that accommodates my dog in-cabin.
