Reaccomodation Options
If your flight has been affected by the schedule changes, you will have the following options:
--Rebook on a different Midwest Airlines flight, if possible.
--Rebook on another airline, if possible (requires you to call the Reservations center). This option may not be available in many cases as other airlines have limited seats for reaccommodation.
--Use the value of your ticket to purchase a ticket to a different Midwest Airlines destination.
--Receive a full refund.
I think it's worth the effort to call and see...changing to another airline can only be done by an agent. Let us know how it turns out, please.
They specifically refused to rebook me on another carrier even though the option would have been available.
