Readers of Travel+Leisure magazine have again recognized Midwest Airlines as "Top Domestic Airline for Service." The magazine's subscribers have named Milwaukee-based Midwest Airlines the top service provider three of the four years this award has been given.

"Being named the top airline for service shows that passengers appreciate the dedication of all of our employees to providing an exceptional travel experience. We look forward to providing our award-winning service to passengers on Midwest flights for many years to come."


A list of the winners in the international airline, hotel and cruise line categories can be found in the June issue of Travel+Leisure, now available on newsstands. Rankings are based on reader evaluations collected in the 2006 World's Best Awards Survey. For airlines, scores are indexed averages of evaluations for the characteristics "inflight service" and "customer service."

Catering to business travelers and discerning leisure travelers, the airline earned its reputation as "The best care in the air" by providing passengers with impeccable service and onboard amenities at competitive fares.
