Midwest Airlines is a airline that serves over 20 United States cities and that has its major hub in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Midwest began its existence as a company airline for Kimberly-Clark, the paper company. Midwest's most popular perk is that it has wide leather seats in a 2x2 arrangement, offering more room than most airlines, and serves its passengers its signature chocolate chip cookies.
