Frequent flier program for pets
Midwest announced a program that gives pets a free round-trip ticket for every three domestic round-trip flights they take with their owners.
That’s more than double the going rate for most Midwest passengers, who get free round trips at 25,000 miles.
“While in the past their owners have been racking up miles on free trips, all the pets have been getting is a pat on the head,” Midwest CEO Tim Hoeksema said.
“We decided that it was high time to throw a bone to our frequent customers — and their best friends.”
Midwest, which serves 50 U.S. cities through hubs in Milwaukee and Kansas City, Mo., says it racks up about 3,000 one-way pet trips a year. Pets fly round-trip with their owners on Midwest for $150 or one-way for $75.
