“The Midwest Airlines passenger is part of a difficult to reach demographic. They use the airline regularly for business travel; they are early adopters of technology and always keen to invest in the latest notebooks, BlackBerry devices and software. Midwest Airlines is the intelligent choice for our affluent passengers, and their time on the airline is their only real down time. This is one of the few times in their busy schedule when they are receptive to advertising messages. Being key decision makers within their businesses, this is an audience you will want to reach. This magazine is the best way to reach the Midwest’s most influential audience.”
