I am surprised that LAX is not excluded, considering that all of the other exclusions are long haul flights. Are they looking for more bookings on the MKE-LAX nonstops, as there appears to be good availabilty for the upcoming months, including for award travel, to/from LAX?

Maybe they are trying to take away some customers from AirTran during that time.

10,000 miles for a companion pass, particularly on the LAX route, is an especially good value per mile. Plus, remember that the paid ticket is already earning 3,510 miles, so the companion pass really only costs 6,490 miles. It's almost like a buy one get one free special.

Don't forget the Brewers 'Two for Won' Promotion. If the flights are on days when the Brewers are playing and win, the miles are doubled, earning 7,020 miles. Oh, I forgot to mention that the stars must aligned properly. :)

It is a pretty fair deal, under any condition.

A little OT, but, interestingly enough, YX's MKE-LAX flights are not showing up on travelocity.

I checked a couple other routes, too. MKE-BOS does not show up, but MKE-LGA does. Weird.

Frontier showed up on MKE-LAX, though. ;)

Can you first book your first ticket through any website?

I just checked a number of dates; the major travel sites, including Travelocity, offered YX as a nonstop option for MKE-LAX. There are, however, some upcoming dates in the near future, where it appears that only Signature seats are available.

I did a "flexible dates" search on Travelocity, and it is now coming up. But the r/t price is $342, which is much higher than the fares on midwestairlines.com

I don't think it matters where the member purchases their ticket at as long as their is a frequent flier seat available. I would call to make sure the seat is available and hold it while you purchase your ticket.

From their website:

1 Companion awards are nontransferable and must be used in conjunction with the member's paid ticket. Companion award travel seats are limited; check availability prior to booking paid ticket. Companion award travel must be booked directly with Midwest Airlines via phone. Limit one free companion award ticket per member per trip.
