Midwest Express has announced that the miles required for some of their AAdvantage awards will increase beginning Oct 1, 2004. Continental US and Canada will go to 30,000; Hawaii to 40,000 and Mexico & Caribbean to 35,000. I've not seen anything from AA that they are raising award levels; however, Midwest has always set the miles required for a partner award at the partner requirement. The have also always been very good about warning their frequent fliers of award level increases. I'm posting this here rather than the Midwest forum or American forum since other carriers may decide to go along as well. The announcement can be found here:
