Thread: DL NW Travel Question

so with all that said (which since some of us don't use the res computers and I am not only clueless to most of what you wrote and blonde to boot) you referred to ID for aircraft, not pilot ID (which is what I read and understood) That was my quibble--I didn't get that part.
I didn't argue the DL HNL flight--that's exactly what it should be (it's convenience/marketing for NW customers to give it a NW number but of course it isn't on NW list because it's DL)I realize DL owns all the metal but the metal is operated by 2 diff companies right now (I'm not that blonde!! ha). That really is codesharing as an artform, using the numbers they way they do (again like you said--it's marketing) and it's no diff than putting a South Afrcian Airways flight number on a flight that SA customers can book on theri website.

hey, have you been on NW rev website to find flights? I tried to get ideas to connect HKG w/out taking NW all the way and it was the darndest thing--I went all the way thru miles of flight opitons to encounter DL flights waaaaaaay down the list on what could have been page 100 of flight scenarios. I was fascinated by the partner options offered too. I guess your'e used to poking around the res stuff, but I don't get that priv so I get to see what the revs see on the websites often enuff.

I said pilots ID because the uniforms are all the same now. I can&#39;t tell a NW pilot apart from a DL pilot without seeing their ID.

I haven&#39;t used the NW site. I know I hate the NW res system. When I have to reroute pax, or when looking for myself, I check schedules on the DL system, and if I want a NW flight, I then go into the NW system to check availability. If you want to see OAL stuff, check out flyzed.com


Jumper, have you heard, are they adapting PARS to accept the DL standby priorities as of 6/23, or is 6/23 the first day that I don&#39;t have to deal with PARS anymore?

Come on - you REALLY expect them to get it together by then?

Probably at the last possible minute, and I would expect some bumps...

BTW - on the Zed Fare calculator I&#39;m seeing a fare of 60 USD and change for Delta RT to CDG from SEA - should I expect it to be about double after taxes and fees?

hey, spongebue..if I click on your link I get to http://www.2shared.com/file/5571177/f36653...ntDownload.html, which doens&#39;t give me anything interesting. If I paste your link verbatim into my address field, I get invalid file. What am I doing wrong, thanks.
By the way, I&#39;m a 9E (Pinnacle) parent, not NW strictly speaking, but don&#39;t kow how to change my profile on this forum.
Thanks![/b]

There&#39;s a download link at the bottom of that page... haven&#39;t used that site before, and didn&#39;t see until just now that it&#39;s not the most obvious thing in the world. If that doesn&#39;t work, shoot me an email (should be on my profile) and I&#39;ll respond giving it as an attachment

No problem Hal.
How to change your profile info
1 - click on "my controls" at the top of the "community page", right under the "forums" tab.
2 - On you "control page", look to the left under "menu" - scroll down to "personal profile"
3 - Under "personal profile" is "edit profile information", click on that
Now you should see your profile info. Just make the changes you want and click "amend" at the bottom of the page.
That&#39;s all there is to it.

$50 per year for all your pass riders/companion/buddies[/b]

Well, that is all right. Not as good as free but I had heard it was $200 so that is not bad.

I can&#39;t wait to be done with PARS, I&#39;m sure you feel the opposite.

ZED fare? ZEDs are kind of pricey. A zone 1 with tax ends up being $40.50(they went up a few months ago). That would be like PHL-DTW. ATL-PHL is in zone 2 which is like $55 one way. Is there going to be a nonstop SEA-CDG? If so, that would be probably zone 8-10 and cost about $160 each way w/o tax. ZED is per segment, so SEA-CVG-CDG would be like $90+$140 for one way.

If your looking at the yield fare, that is one way. Domestic r/t w/taxes is usually about 2.5X the fare shown. Add int&#39;l taxes, and it can go up quick. A buddy pass to FRA would be more expensive right now than a confirmed seat. And buddy pass fares are GOING UP!



Vulindlela I&#39;m not certain if this will change. Currently DL mainline, DLtech, and Comair pay $50/account/year to have pass travel benefits activated. ASA, Skywest, and the other non owned conx carriers pay $50/pass traveler/year, capped at $200(or so). So, a Comair emp with a spouse, 2 parents and 2 dependent children would pay $50. An ASA emp with a spouse would pay $100(50 for emp, 50 for spouse) ASA emp with a spouse and 2 kids would be $200. ASA emp with a spouse, 2 parents, and 6 kids would pay $200 because its capped.

Hey, how adventurous are you? CUN is WIDE open for Cinco de Mayo. Swine Flu be damned, I think I&#39;m going.

If I was off, I would go.
Swine flu does not worry me a bit.
I have been wanting to go to SJD and so it may be a great time to do so!
