I flew for the first time with NW this past weekend and it was memorable to say the least. I flew MCO to NGO on one of those cheapie K fares, and a 2 1/2 hr flight with no snacks was an unpleasant welcome from NW. The DTW terminal is very nice though. I then learned a 13 hr flight in coach on a full 747-400 is something no one should ever attempt. However, on the return NW was nice enough to greatly overbook my flight and rerouted me with 2 extra stops, a nice ECV and an op up to WBC. The only problem was my "direct" LAX-MCO. When we stopped in MEM they told us the plane was actually going to MIA then and we would now be the last flight of the evening. MEM is not the best place to be stuck in for 4 hours. Overall experience was good, but only because the voucher nearly covered the cost of the trip and the NRT-LAX WBC op up. Domestically NW leaves much to be desired.
