Thread: Question? flying nwa with different routing?

Does NWA fly from Portland to NRT? I never heard of it. If they did, I don't see why not, same ZED fare probably, most likely. Why don't you call the NWA toll free number 800-225-2525. That's the number you are supposed to call to list yourself. Ask them. I used NWA many times going to NRT but not in the last 5 years. Two years ago I couldn't get out to NRT from MNL. First time I ever ran into load problems with NWA out of MNL. I ended up taking Continental via the milk run. MNL-GUM barely HNL-and barely IAH. But we made it. Got the last two seat next to the crappers out of HNL. Didn't cost me a dime. Took a couple of months to get my NWA tickets refunded though.

They do, it&#39;s NW5 PDXNRT. I think it may vary a bit by each agent you run into at NW, whether they&#39;ll be ok accepting the different routing even though same price. Keep in mind though that this flight will switch to a DL operated route by the beginning of the summer, so you&#39;ll definitely have to fly out of SEA to use the NW service charge passes.... I&#39;m not sure when you&#39;re going.

They did accept my passes and im in manila now. Hopefully i dont get stuck here.

Some of the new NWA 767 routes operated by Delta still allow for Northwest pass travel, for instance MSP-CDG, which just started April 1st.

Glad you made it. The cross-fleeted flights (not the same as code-shared) primarily go by the rules of the marketed carrier. Even after June 1, even though PDX-NRT is a DL equipment, most rules, including nonrev listing, priority, etc. will be as NW. Your NW pass would still work on this DL plane. It&#39;s also true that being "rolled over" to a different routing, even departure city, can be done, but could depend upon the particular agent at the counter. The 1-800 number above is a res number for listing and most agents may not be able to answer your type of question; they&#39;d have to call their support. The travel desk or the airport agent would be more knowledgable. Chew some betel nut for me!

Ninoy Aquino Airport can be a rough place to be stuck. What a louzy airport. Toilets there don&#39;t even flush, no running water the last time I was there. Packed to the rafters. In fact, that airport is a main reason I hate going to Manila.

I read somewhere else on the site that DL-NW pass trvel would get sorted out aroud May or so...

I&#39;m a Pinnacle parent and know that NW pass travel will be in flux the next half-year or so. Any idea whether pass travel on domestic NW flts (like BDL-MSP) will be handled as they are now, in May, when want to visit our son?
