TOPIC: Not happy with Northwest Airlines

No problem Bro I completely understand! If that is what works for you then all is well and good.<br />I sent you an email with a couple flights, if neither work for you, we'll stick with the 9:30 departure. *hugs*

Boss is out of the office on some kind of site visit...should have some time to pute...<br /><br />OK - so is the noon-ish flight a direct or does it too make a stop?  The last thing I want is to add 2+ hours on the return flight.<br /><br />

Email sent

OK we moved to the 12:35 departure - and no charge since it was due to flight cancelations...

*HUGS* Thanks for handling the phone work bro. You're the bestest! *more HUGS*

Ok, here is what I know.  I got:<br /><br />Northwest Airlines 1008<br />Sun, Aug 19<br />1hr 16min<br />2:50pm Depart Indianapolis (IND)<br />4:06pm Arrive Detroit (DTW)<br /><br />Northwest Airlines 333<br />Sun, Aug 19<br />4hr 47min<br />5:38pm Depart Detroit (DTW)<br />7:25pm Arrive Los Angeles (LAX)<br /><br />I suppose if you really wanted, you could take the earlier flight but ouch!  To get to the airport by 8AM, you would have to wake up at say 6:30AM?  But truth be told, I am going to call them back and see if I can get an earlier flight.  I chose the 2PM flight originally because it was non-stop.  Ideal time for me to leave would be around Noon.<br />

Here's the 12:35 departure I found and gave bro the info for that gets in LA at 4:13 pm:<br /><br />Northwest Airlines 5768<br />operated by<br />PINNACLE AIRLINES/NWA AIRLINK JET<br />Booking Class: B / Economy <br />Ticket Designator: <br />Meal: none<br />Equipment: CRJ  Sun, Aug 19<br />1hr 20min  12:35pm Depart Indianapolis (IND)<br />12:55pm Arrive Memphis (MEM)<br />Approximate Distance: 382 miles Plane Change <br /><br /> <br />  Northwest Airlines 177<br />Booking Class: B / Economy <br />Ticket Designator: <br />Meal: Food for purchase<br />Equipment: 320  Sun, Aug 19<br />3hr 53min  2:20pm Depart Memphis (MEM)<br />4:13pm Arrive Los Angeles (LAX)<br />Approximate Distance: 1615 miles <br /><br />

Interesting.  I don't see that one as available. 

Its still there, its the next to last listing if you search on NWA.com: one way from IND to LAX on Aug 19.<br /><br />Make sure to scroll all the way to the bottom, they hide it.

I just called and they said its sold out.<br /><br />Not quite as good but here is the flight I have:<br /><br />Date: Sunday, August 19  Flight: NW 497 <br />Departs: Indianapolis-Int'l, IN (IND) at 12:05PM  <br />Arrives: Minneapolis/St. Paul-Int'l, MN (MSP) at 12:54PM  <br />Class of Service: Economy Class (L)  Seat: 23-D <br />Flight Duration: 1 hour 49 minutes  Approximate Miles: 502  <br /><br />Date: Sunday, August 19  Flight: NW 315  <br />Departs: Minneapolis/St. Paul-Int'l, MN (MSP) at 2:40PM  <br />Arrives: Los Angeles Int'l, CA (LAX) at 4:29PM  <br />Class of Service: Economy Class (L)  Seat: 22-E <br />Flight Duration: 3 hours 49 minutes  Approximate Miles: 1,530  <br /><br />Leaves a little earlier, gets in a little later but its about the same time.<br />

Glad you found something a bit more agreeable to you Douglas.<br /><br />And thank you so much for posting about this. I can't imagine what would have happened if Bro and I didn't know. OYE!

its so nice that we look out for each other here
