Universal Orlando All-Park, All-Week Pass

Thankfully, Midwest Airlines understands out concerns and, this winter, will be launching a new seasonal route and increase the number of flights to Florida.

The new nonstop will be direct from Kansas City to Fort Myers, once daily. It will up the number of direct routes to Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale as well. All flights ... [Read this entry]
