Take an Award Trip for Two, for Fewer Midwest Miles

If you’re planning an award trip using Midwest frequent flyer miles, you may be able to take along a friend or family member for just 15,000 more miles. Midwest normally offers companion awards for 20,000 miles, so this is a 5,000-mile discount. Book by calling 800-452-2022 and requesting the YXC15 award code.

There are some significant restrictions to the offer.

The first is timing. The discount is valid on trips flown between January 21 and February 12, February 22 and March 5, and April 12 and May 26. So you’ll have to fit your two-fer trip into one of those travel windows.

Second, the discount does not apply for flights to or from Denver, Ft. Lauderdale, Ft. Myers, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Orlando, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle/Tacoma, or Tampa, or to codeshare flights. That rules out some highly desirable flights in Midwest’s already limited route network.

Still, if you can work within the promotion’s constraints, your Midwest Miles account will be the better for it. Your traveling companion will thank you, too.
