Get your American Express Platinum out - Midwest has got some new meals - some that cost as much as $11.

Jason Cochran over at WalletPop, was a little steamed when he learned that they were charging “T.G.I.Friday’s prices for a noodle salad” - but he conceded that that salad, described as an “Asian chicken salad on a bed of noodles” was - well, not great, but really, not too bad!

Among the other $11 offering on the Midwest menu - Pot Roast, and Chicken Caesar Salad.

At these prices - you’ll at least feel like you’re flying first class.

You know in this economy that private jets have become a bit of a “no-no” - or else they’re just too expensive - so what about sharing?

Blue Star Jets has started the Share-a-Jet Program. They call it the “upscale-travel alternative of the future” and they may have something there.

It’s sort of an online connection service where fairly-well-to-do folks can see if anyone’s going their way, and if so - they can share a jet and share the costs.

Who says you can’t scrimp and still enjoy the good life?
