Hey GT1900 they've announced non stop to SEA out of MKE as well...


"A few weeks ago I was very pleased to announce that Midwest Airlines will launch nonstop service between Kansas City and Seattle/Tacoma (SEA) on April 1. Today I'm just as pleased to announce that Midwest Airlines will launch nonstop service between Milwaukee and Seattle/Tacoma on June 18.

The Milwaukee-Seattle/Tacoma service will operate as Midwest Airlines Saver Service. Daily flights will include a mid-morning departure from Milwaukee and an early-afternoon departure from Seattle/Tacoma and will allow customers to make convenient connections via Milwaukee to other cities in the Midwest route network.

The addition of Milwaukee/Seattle/Tacoma to our route map is part of our 2007 strategic growth plan, which includes the addition of at least six new destinations and as many as 12 new routes this year.

Seattle/Tacoma is one of the new destinations most frequently requested by our customers. The area is known for the significant business presence of Starbucks, Microsoft, Boeing and Nordstrom, and for such famous attractions as the Space Needle, Pike Place Market and the Seattle Aquarium. It is also the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula, Puget Sound, the San Juan Islands and the magnificent Cascade Mountains, including Mount Rainier. It is little wonder that this gem of the Pacific Northwest is a popular destination among both business and leisure travelers.

The new Milwaukee-Seattle/Tacoma service is now loaded into Sabre and our Web site, and is available for sale."

Or at least CAT II...but our cost analysist says this is not a necessary expense. We'll be capping the planes at -25 seats so we can tanker fuel for diversions.
