The Midwest programs includes round-trip economy class airfare for two from your home city on the group arrival and departure dates. Flight reservations are made in group blocks out of Salt Lake City, Boise and Denver. If you have any special requests, please include it in the registration process. Additional costs may apply if you choose an alternate departure city, or to extend your stay, upgrade, or travel on alternate dates. 

Once you have notified Midwest that you would like to deviate from the program dates, you will be contacted by one of the professional Flight Coordinators. Ticketing suggestions are made based on the preferences and parameters you set in your registration, and then ticketed pending your approval. Please keep in mind most itineraries will expire within 24 hours if not ticketed, and all fares are subject to change until ticketed. If you have any special requests, please be sure to include them during the registration process (including frequent flyer number, seat preferences, etc.).

Fares are always subject to change and availability until ticketed, and most itineraries must be ticketed within 24 hours of booking or they expire. Replying quickly increases your chances of getting the most convenient schedule possible as well as preassigned seat assignments (subject to availability).

If you have a frequent flyer account with the airline you will be flying on, you may be eligible to earn miles for your flights. Mileage accrual methods vary from airline to airline, and some tickets may not be eligible for mileage accrual as dictated by the fare rules. Airlines with agreements (One World, SkyTeam, Star Alliance, etc.) typically allow mileage accrual on partner airlines. Check with the airline for specific information about mileage accrual eligibility.

Please provide your KTN or Redress Number during registration, if possible, or provide it to your Flight Coordinator when confirming your flights. Please be advised that the name on your ticket must match the name on your KTN application and the name on the identification you are using to travel or in order to receive TSA Pre-Check benefits.

If you choose to purchase or obtain your own air for different arrival and departure dates, an air allowance of 19,000 POINTS credit per person would be deducted off the Midwest program for you. Please remember that any deviation from the group space would require that your own transportation be obtained to the Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai and from the Shangri-La Hotel if the dates are other than the Midwest program.

The Morris Meetings and Incentives Flight Coordinator would be happy to look into cost of tickets for a possible deviation or upgrade.

If you are utilizing the Midwest group block, please check with our Flight Coordinators to determine what options might be available.

Most airlines permit changes to be made to your ticket any time prior to departure, and most airlines require change fees in addition to the difference in fare. All airlines charge difference in fare for flight changes, even if they do not charge a fee for changes. Most airlines charge a $200 change fee for domestic flights, and some flights to Canada, Mexico, and South America; change fees for international flights can be $300-400 depending on the airline and the destination. Please check with the airline directly, if you booked it outside the group block.

If you are utilizing the Midwest group block, no future value is available.

If you have booked reservations outside the group program, unless otherwise stated, all tickets are non-refundable and expire one year from the date of issue. Fares are subject to change at any time based on availability, and are not guaranteed until ticketed. Any cost associated with changes made beyond the 24-hour cancellation time frame after the tickets have been issued will be at your expense, including penalty fees and applicable fare difference (fare difference may apply for changes made within 24 hours). Unless previously agreed upon, neither MMI nor the program sponsor will cover the cost of change fees or fare difference for voluntary changes and/or name corrections.

In order to be in compliance with the TSA Secure Flight Program, both the TSA and the airlines require that the name on your reservation matches the name on the government-issued photo identification you present at the airport. This requirement supersedes any requirement for airline frequent flyer accounts to match the name on your ticket, and you may need to submit a request to have the name on your airline frequent flyer account changed to match your I.D.

If you are utilizing the Midwest group block, please contact Brent Jensen at Midwest at 801-975-6166 or brent@midwest1938.com if you are unable to travel, and wish to do a name change.

Be advised that name corrections made after the 24-hour free change and cancellation period may be subject to a name correction fee.

Flight Coordinators will do everything possible to assign you in your preferred seat type (e.g. window, aisle, bulkhead, etc.). However, seat requests cannot be guaranteed. If your preferred seat type is not available, a Flight Coordinator will assign the best seat type available.

In some situations it may not be possible to pre-assign seats at the time of booking, or assign you and your guest(s) seats together. This is either because all pre-assigned seating is full, or the airline has an open seating policy. If you do not have seat assignments when you arrive at the gate, (or if you wish to change your seat assignments), you may speak with the gate agent about available seats. A limited number of seats are held exclusively for gate agent use on the day of departure. As these seats are limited, it’s best to arrive at the gate at least an hour prior to departure for the best availability.

We strongly suggest checking in online for your flight. Online check-in is typically available within 24 hours of flight departure time. You can also pre-pay luggage fees, reconfirm/change your seat assignment, and sign up for flight updates. If you are ticketed n a group space booking, you will only be allowed to check in on your day of departure at the airport, to find out which type of ticket you have been issued, please contact your flight coordinator.

Please reconfirm your itinerary prior to leaving for the airport, as schedule changes and flight delays are common. You can also download the airline's mobile app to access your boarding pass and view flight changes/updates.

For international flights, the standard recommendation is three hours prior to departure. However, recommended arrival times vary by airport and may be longer, so it’s best to check the airport website. This time accounts for parking, shuttles, check-in/baggage drop-off, security screening, and arriving at your departure gate no later than 30 minutes prior to your scheduled flight departure time.

At the check-in counter or kiosks, you’ll be asked to present your identification and check your luggage (if any). If you are checking luggage, please verify it is checked through to your final destination (CNX). Keep in mind gate assignments can change, so keep an eye on the airport monitors for flight updates.

Most airlines close the boarding doors 10 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time to allow time to complete final paperwork and baggage loading. Whenever possible, passengers should be at the assigned departure gate no later than 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time for domestic flights. For international flights, passengers should arrive 45 minutes prior to scheduled departure time because gate agents will need to re-verify passports prior to boarding. Please check with the airline carrier, for their specific recommended gate time frames.

Boarding typically begins 20-30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time for domestic flights, and 45-60 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time for international flights. Depending on the connection airport, connecting flights may only allow as little as 30 minutes between the first flight arrives and the second flight departs. It is imperative that you get to your next gate as quickly as possible, and if needed, find a restroom within the vicinity of your next gate or use the lavatory onboard your next flight. Please check with the airline carrier, for their specific recommended boarding timeframes.

The app will be a wonderful and easy to use resource while you are on the go! Our app will include the agenda, trip information, answers to frequently asked questions, and more. Specifics regarding when and how to download the app will be emailed out close to the trip. We recommend downloading the app before you leave.
