Sorry I missed Friday for a post but I’ll make it up the next week, I have a TON to talk about (really, I have no idea how I’m going to get it all out - I’ll try mulitple smaller/quicker posts).

The reason I missed Friday is because I was flying around all day. I had to make 1 stop to speak at a conference and then immediately leave to fly across to country to another conference that I’m just attending.

To do all this, I used Northwest Airlines and I found a perfect picture to describe I feel about this airline so far (to the left)…

Thanks to my Delta miles, I was able to get upgraded to First Class all the way around for free (if I had paid for this, I’d be even more mad). Overall, the planes were old and dirty. The seats were not leather. There was no entertainment center (even for a 5 hour flight).

When I tried to get into the “Club/Lounge” - they said it was only for International First Class passengers (what the hell is that?).

I don’t know if I’m spoiled after my experience with Qatar, but this was just not up to par.

I’ve now flown First Class in United, Delta, US Airways, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and hands down, Northwest is worse than all of them by a LARGE margin.

If you can avoid Northwest, I would.

The ONLY impressive thing about Northwest is their HUB in Detroit - I’ve never seen a terminal like that, very impressive. But, if your planes suck, what’s the use of a good hub?
