LAX-MKE will be on Saver Service with 2x3 seating. Seats are slightly wider (18") with slightly more pitch (distance between you and seat in front of you) than the average airline. Try and snag the exit row for a bit more leg room, avoid the back of the plane where the lavs and galley are. Free drinks, snack and free baked-on-board cookies if it's a lunch or dinner flight, otherwise a free muffin in the morning. Buy-on-board meals with also be available for $10 at lunch & dinner time. Hand held IFE systems with also be available for $10, they come pre loaded with movies, TV shows, music and head phones.
MKE-MCI-LAX will all be on signature service on the 717's, 2x2 leather seating with great width (21") and pitch (more comfortable than most first class seats on US airlines) Service will be the same....free drinks, snack and cookies, Buy-on-board meals available.
per your question on the 717's, YX's planes are very nice: New, quite and comfortable!
