Has anyone ever flown Northwest Airlines before?

To be honest, its not the airline that has the problems, its the airport. That being said, I've flown Northwest a few times before, and its been fine. Just like every other airline.

It's been over ten years since i last flew them and apart from getting a banana nut muffin on every flight, they seemed to be o.k

I did once a few years ago. It was fine.

Northwest (as stated)is as reliable as any other airline. If you are concerned about your connection time, book a longer layover at the connection instead of booking the "published" connection flights. The carrier always posts the minimum connection time at an airport regardless of the on-time performance of the specific airline or flight. Your fare will remain the same as long as your layover is within the airlines layover time limitation. (They have tons of rules that the public is unaware of)

PM me if you need more details.

I'm from Michigan, so I used to almost always fly Northwest (they do heavy traffic out of Detroit Metro). It's just like every other airline.

they suck. I was supposed to be on a non-stop deom detroit to San Fran.....a non-stop that ended up going from Detroit to DC, then to Dallas, then they switched us to American from Dallas to SFO.......

After that I did not fly them for 5 years, until this past year, and they were fine. (It was afree ticket)
They are my least favorite airline

Theya re also the airline that had the issue about three years ago where people were not allowed off the planes due to snow (so they said) and people were stuck on the planes on the tarmac for hours......an ungodly amount of hours, ran out of food, water, and toilets plugged up.

From DTE to New York, you are probably fine, but for anything longer I would not fly them.

Luggagewise they were fine

Day, very true about United and luggage, which is why we're only doing carry-on next month to Europe.......frankly few American carriers are any good anymore.....certainly not like the old days.

But many European ones still know the meaning of service. We flew Malev from Krakow to Budapest tw years ago, maybe an hour flight......and in coach got a hot meal, treated like royalty....it was like the old days.

We're flying a bunch of different carriers within Europe this year, which we've never flown, British Midlands, Air Europa, and SAS....should be interesting.

can't you fly SEA to Baltimore pretty cheap on Alaska?

---

I have flown Midlands and SAS, both, FABU

My experience with Northwest has always been positive.

Northwest is fine, but Southwest...
