No question long haul CO is the best. However, NW first is fine for a great deal of travel. If you trip is a two legs under two and half hours each I think NW is great because you are likely to get updgraded on all and likely to have at least a Dc-9 which has a FC cabin not an RJ.


Yeah, the food is not as good but I find the service to be generally fine if not excellent. Like CO its the crew that is the biggest factor here. Both have many great flight crews and some not-so-great.

Upgrades are easier to get since all planes ( Ithink) have at least 16 seats. CO has 737-500's that only have 10...
