Through a special agreement
with Northwest Airlines, you can now purchase a Midwest ticket to many U.S.
destinations on flights operated by Northwest. You can expand your travel
horizons by connecting your Midwest flight to a Northwest-operated flight, all
with a single Midwest ticket.
There are several groups of codeshare
routes that allow you to connect between Midwest and Northwest-operated flights:
those via Indianapolis, and those via Los Angeles, San Francisco and
Seattle/Tacoma to Hawaii.
And as of July 26, 2008, codeshare travel is
available on flights operated entirely by Northwest on routes that connect via
Detroit, Memphis and Minneapolis/St. Paul.
Codeshare
Destinations
You can view the current list of Northwest codeshare
destinations in two ways: view the codeshare route map or look for YX* in your itinerary display after selecting your
origin and destination cities from the drop-down list.
- The Convenience of a Single Electronic Ticket. You'll still book a
Midwest flight and receive a Midwest electronic ticket. One or more of your
flight segments will be operated by Northwest.
- One-Stop Check-In. You'll get boarding passes for that day's flight
segments when you check in.
- Automatic Baggage Transfer. Your baggage will be seamlessly
transferred between flights and arrive with you at your destination.
- Full Frequent Flyer Participation. Choose either Midwest Miles or
Northwest WorldPerks points, no matter which airline you have used to book your
ticket, or which airline operates a particular flight. Use those miles or points
for award travel on either airline. Plus, Midwest Miles earned on codeshare
flights qualify toward Midwest Miles Executive status.

Where Do I
Check In?
Regardless of which airline you use to book your ticket, you
will check in at the gate of the airline operating your first flight segment –
which is clearly identified on your ticket and in your reservation.
