Overbooking of Flights
Airline flights may be overbooked, and there is a chance that a seat
will not be available on a flight for which a passenger has a confirmed
reservation. If the flight is overbooked, no one will be denied a seat
until airline personnel first ask for volunteers willing to give up
their seat in exchange for payment of the airline's choosing. If there
are not enough volunteers, the airline will deny boarding to other
persons in accordance with its particular boarding priorities. With few
exceptions, persons denied boarding involuntarily are entitled to
compensation. Complete rules for payment of compensation and boarding
priorities are available at all Midwest airport ticket counters and
boarding locations.
Advice to International Passengers on Limitations of Liability
Passengers on a journey involving an ultimate destination or stop in a
country other than the country of departure are advised that either the
Montreal Convention or the Warsaw Convention may apply to their entire
journey including any portion thereof entirely within a country. For
such passengers, the Montreal Convention or the Warsaw Convention,
including any implement contracts of carriage embodied in applicable
tariffs, governs and may limit the liability of the carrier for death
or injury to passengers.
Notice of Baggage Liability Limitations for International Travel
For international travel (including domestic portions of international
journeys) where the Montreal Convention applies, liability for loss,
delay or damage to checked baggage is limited to the sum of 1,000
Special Drawing Rights for each passenger unless a higher value is
declared in advance and additional charges are paid. For international
travel (including domestic portions of international journeys) where
the Warsaw Convention applies, liability for loss, delay or damage to
checked baggage is limited to approximately $9.07 per pound unless a
higher value is declared in advance and additional charges are paid.
Liability for unchecked baggage is limited to $400 per passenger.
Excess valuation may not be declared on certain types of valuable
articles. Carriers may not assume liability for fragile or perishable
articles. Further information may be obtained for the carrier.

History
As early as 1948, Kimberly-Clark corporation began providing corporate
air transportation for executives traveling between its headquarters
and company mills. Their expertise in operating a corporate air shuttle
led to the formation of K-C Aviation in 1969, providing aviation
services and specializing in the meticulous customization of corporate
aircraft. After the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, Kimberly-Clark
and K-C Aviation capitalized on their decades of aviation expertise
through the formation of a commercial air carrier - Midwest Express
Airlines.
Following its startup on June 11, 1984, the airline successfully
executed a strategic plan of controlled growth and development. Its
initial public offering took place in September 1995. In March 2003,
the carrier simplified its name to Midwest Airlines. Its parent
company, Midwest Express Holdings, is traded on the New York Stock
Exchange under the ticker symbol MEH.
Headquarters
Headquartered in Milwaukee, Midwest Airlines employs more than 2,000
people. Milwaukee’s General Mitchell International airport is home to
the Midwest Airlines Maintenance Facility, located at 555 Air Cargo Way.
In 1994, Midwest Airlines opened its second base in Omaha, Nebraska. In
2000, the airline opened a third base in Kansas City, Missouri.
Equipment
The Midwest Airlines fleet includes McDonnell Douglas MD-80 and Boeing 717 jet aircraft.
